Screen designer tips and tutorials / problem with RunFile() after LoadFile
« on: August 31, 2022, 02:37:45 PM »Hello,
I would have a question related to adding VB code to a button on a Mach3 screen
If the code of the button is
LoadFile("C:\Mach3\GCode\code2.tap")
RunFile()
then only the loading will be done, without running the code of the loaded file
But if the code is
LoadFile("C:\Mach3\GCode\code2.tap")
Sleep(3000)
RunFile()
the after the file is loaded, it is soon also run, after about 3 seconds
which tells me that it is needed to wait for the loading to finish before it can be run
So, with this in mind I modified the code to
LoadFile("C:\Mach3\GCode\code2.tap")
While (IsLoading())
Sleep(100)
Wend
RunFile()
where the while loop runs until loading is complete, but I get the same problem as with the 2 lines of code shown above, that is the same as with
LoadFile("C:\Mach3\GCode\code2.tap")
RunFile()
Can somebody explain me how to get the file running after loading ?
