# PanelBuilder32 to Machine Edition object mappings

The following tables show those cases where an imported PanelBuilder32 object is converted into a Machine Edition object of a different description.

The following PanelBuilder32 controls, objects, and components cannot be converted to Machine Edition:

- Print Only Object.

- Print Alarm Button Object.

- Lamp/Horn Test Button Object.

  Tip: | When a PanelBuilder32 list object is converted to a Machine Edition object, its foreground and background colors are used to set the Selection fore color and Selection back color for the object in the ME application. If the PanelBuilder32 object's foreground and background colors are set to the same color, the selection fore color and selection back color will also be the same. This means that a selected state will be invisible, because the foreground color (text) and the background color are the same. To make the selected state visible, the object must be edited to change either the selection fore color or the selection back color. This condition applies to both design time and run time, and affects the following objects: List indicator Display list selector Control list selector Piloted control list selector Alarm list selector
