View Full Version : Problem with new "wait for variable" action

The new "wait for variable" (-999,5,16) action seems to have a problem.

I have a button with 4 actions:
1) Wait for Girder.LinkActive (-999,5,16)
2) Exit if not Girder.LinkActive (-999,5,18)
3) Issue a Girder request (to start an app)
4) Jump to a new panel (to control that app)

The problem is that the new panel does not paint, but is active. The old panel remains on the PPC screen, but if I press a button (apparently on the old panel), the button at the corresponding position on the new panel is executed instead. And the new panel *then* paints. All very confusing.

For now, I have removed action (1).

Any ideas Ben?

I'll need to take a look. I did some initial unit testing of this and it worked, but haven't used it on any of my interfaces as of yet.

Any word on this issue? It is working on a WIN32 and not the PPC.

I have a button with Girder.LinkActive and that is working fine. I also have a jump to pannel and when I press the button, the sceen does not draw. If I click on the screen, I get to control the screen where the jump was pointing too.
