Change a machine component color based on G or M code

I have a button I've created on my rotary and I want it to change color from gray to green when the program reads the M-code to unlock the rotary, and I want it to change it to red when it reads the M-code to lock the rotary. I've done this in older versions and unfortunately I don't have those machines anymore and I've forgotten how to achieve this.

Please help

Re: Change a machine component color based on G or M code

Hello,
When you define your M-code dommand, just add macro "SetComponentColor"  to text field name of component and tu value filed number of your color.
Color you can define in Configuration -> Colors -> Define Tab.... under each number you can define your color.

Yes,
I got to messing around and it came back to me when I went into the G code List.

Thanks for the reply though.
