Can flip change text?

I am wanting to make a dynamic block for switch blocks. Those up or down switches on electronic boards that change how things work. Typically shown as a thin rectangle with a filled in small rectangle showing the position up or down. I can make the flip fine to move the small filled in rectangle from the top to the bottom but what I am wanting is the text below it to change with the flip (ie: off and on). So when I have the switch up the text below it says on, I hit the flip button the filled in rectangle flips to the bottom and the text says off. Is this possible without having to use a separate visibility state to change the text? I can't have the possibility something that says the wrong state. That's why it has to happen automatically. 

Thanks

Here it is. I left the text out of the block. It is just off and on on top of them selves.

Thanks

Where do you get double lookup and triple lookup? I have autocad 2023 but i don't have that. I did have an issue with my block authoring palettes being blank after I upgraded. I got it fixed but I think I had to use last years files to fix it, not sure.

Thanks

You need to make the tool.  See this thread:

Be sure to read the parts on BACTIONBARMODE also.
