**1) Current state**

It used to switch the object states, but \[Text] object only has one state, so this function is invalid.

**2) All language**

Because in PI HMI, all object can support text in 8 languages, so click it to open the 8 language edit window as below shows. And each language can set different font.

HMI system address HSW0 could switch language display.For example HSW0=0,screen will display language 1.HSW0=1,screen will display language 2.HSW0=2,screen will display language 3...until HSW0=7    screen will display language 8.In general,the language could switch by different word switch (Set Value mode).
