SetIslTsKeyX on Micros 9700 button color

[posnut]

I write ISL scripts for Micros. On 3700 I use SetIslTsKeyX which is the same as SetIslTsKey but allows me to set the color and icon. The function doesn't seem to exist on 9700. Is there another way to set color and/or icon? I can do it in the UI designer inside EMC, so I suppose I might have to see if possible to design my UI there and then load it from the SIM and then set the text on the buttons dynamically.

My UX is displaying a list of options for the user to select, they can select one or more items with "checkboxes", and as they change the selection there are some total/tax/tip calculations that update (that info is displayed in a Window, using the Window and Display functions). I have no doubt I'll have to totally rethink this for handheld devices, but for now I'm just focused on larger touchscreen displays and PCs.

I've never used it, but the function is there. However, I do not see an option for color and or icon.
Here's the 9700 SIM doc. Info below is on page 503.

Usage:
SetIslTsKey row, col, num_rows, num_cols, font, key_expression, expression

Example:

setisltskey 2, 2, 4, 4, 3, @KEY_ENTER, "YES"
setisltskey 2, 6, 4, 4, 3, @KEY_CLEAR, "NO"

Thanks hosehead78, but what I am looking for is the equivalent of a function that exists in Micros 3700 which is "SetIslTsKeyX" (notice the X at the end, I assume meaning "eXtended") which does have 2 extra arguments -- one for color, and one for icon.

Seems odd that a newer version of Micros would have less features than an older one, especially when the ability to set colors and icons still exists (in the UI designer). Then again, there is plenty of "odd" stuff about everything in the POS world, lol.
