OnClick?

[human fly]

Hi Goodweather, if you’re out there: looking at your DS2 panel.

I don’t understand OnClick methods.

i have a simple test, with a LED that lights with
‘Called When Panel has finished loading’ (a little
thing i’m using to check it has run), and i have
made a button called ‘OnClick’, which calls a method
when ‘Mouse is Down on this component’.

all your OnClick methods rely on a header function: isPanelReady(),
which is created in ‘miscellaneous’.

my function goes:

function tabOnClick()

	-- No action if the panel is in bootstrap or program states
	if not isPanelReady() then
		return
	end

	led_startup = panel:getModulatorByName("led_startup")
	led_startup:getComponent():setValue(0,false)

end

but nothing happens. what am i missing? (off to check again)

ok, got Mouse Down working. it was your isPanelReady thing,
i have no idea what is going on there. i removed that and
‘OnClick’ works. have to see if it is triggered on startup,
like some buttons i have, where i have to put a
‘panel loaded’ condition, to stop them while the panel loads.
will now check if i have to do that with Mouse Down methods.

would still appreciate some clarification on isPanelReady 😉
cheers !

however, it appears (?) that CustomComponent does not
handle ‘Mouse Down’. is that correct?
working from a button, but i cannot click on my graphic EG
to call a tab.

is there a way of doing this? i would like to click on
one of the graphic envelopes so that the tab switches
to correspond.
(not essential, but it is what i was wanting to do)
