Title: Modify Touch Screen
Post by: kane17752 on June 03, 2017, 09:14:04 PM
I have a desire to modify the existing touch screen for 2 more text inputs and then modify the existing script to utilize the new information.

Not getting into details of what I want to do, but how to I edit the Touch Screen, much like the Main screen?

Hi Kane 17752, I was just reading your post and sat here for a while thinking to myself, "what does he mean?"

Can I ask that you try a different way of explaining.  Not sure I can help, but I imagine others may have had the same reaction as me.  What do you mean by modify the Touch screen?

Look forward to hearing back.

Regards,

CRS

That is the UI in the mcTouchOff.lua module. Your are welcome to edit the module to suit your needs. You can find the module in the Mach4 modules directory.

No, editing it it really won't resemble editing the standard screens at all. I created the UI using form builder. Have a look at the module and see if you still want to edit it and if you do, let me know and I will see if I can get you the formbuilder file for the UI.

I would love to get the formbuilder file.  I assume I get the formbuilder tool online someplace.  I have done a bit of programming in my past life, so I should be fine with the coding.  I am willing to share my efforts with the Mach community.
