cadcoke5 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I know an edit box can be configured to activate its contents with the "Set on Submit button press:" This sounds like what I want, except that I can't figure out how to create a stand-alone submit button. The description seems to be saying that you can have any other edit box on screen with a submit button, and pressing that button will trigger other edit box values to be activated. So if I have 10 values to set, and 9 of them are, "Set on Submit button press:", then I can have the last one have the actual submit button. But, my groupings of the data the user must input make that a little awkward. Is it viable to create a standard button that is programmed to tell all the other edit buttons to submit their values? Any suggestions? -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzeoTech Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Submit is one of the actions you can select from Action tab on components that support it (like buttons, variable value, etc). Others include "Quick Sequence" which you probably have used. Its not another edit box, its another component with Actions. You can also submit from script using: page.submit() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadcoke5 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Thank you for that info. I didn't realize a generic button's submit option will work for all input boxes on the page. I just did a test, and do see that things like buttons to save their scripts to the .scr file, and it works great. But, as a note to future readers of this thread, if you do not name the component, it is hard to see what the component might be. In other words, a button is not named a button in the .scr file. But, renaming the object allows you to see what it is quite easily. Also, when you write your script to a file, the dialog box sometimes does not show the other .scr files and sometimes it does. -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzeoTech Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 If you don't name the component, the component's x/y coordinates are put in the .src file to help you find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMyres Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 1) I can't find the release notes. Are they still there since the site reorg? Checking for the X_Y thing is what sent me looking for them and I couldn't find them. 2) The grey font on white background is really hard for me to read.

AzeoTech Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 1) release notes are off the download page. Inside the download link box. It says "Revision History" 2) Not sure where you are referring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMyres Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 1) OK, thanks. Thought it should be on the download page but couldn't seem to see it. 5.90.6 does not work like that for me. Or I guess, technically I guess you could say that it does, but all the components have identical default names like "_Panel", "_Button", and so on, and do not include the coordinates. The change to include them doesn't show in the 5.90.7 or 5.90.8 release notes. Has it changed and is just not noted in the release notes? Or am I just having an isolated problem with something that works elsewhere? 2) The pages render like this for me on Firefox 19.0.2. Note the medium gray text on white BG.

AzeoTech Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hmm, that image still didn't come through. Maybe you can just email us? I'm looking at the page on the latest firefox (28.0) and it looks fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMyres Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 OK, image emailed. Also, what about item (1), as far as when the x/y coordinates were introduced into the script dump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzeoTech Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I don't know when exactly it changed, but the latest release has the coordinates whenever the component names starts with _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMyres Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I'm at 5.90.6 and I'll be sure to update. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMyres Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Does this require a complete reinstall or just download the latest DAQFactory.exe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzeoTech Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 There are some nice new features too such as SSL support for outgoing emails so you can finally use gmail, and OnChange events for knobs and other input controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzeoTech Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 It just requires DAQFactory.exe, but you don't know where that is and we don't leave it in a predefined place so you should download the full installer and install over top of the existing.
