VB Script to buttons...
« on: December 13, 2015, 11:47:42 AM »
Is there a way to 'Execute a Basic Script' to a button, but as a TOGGLE instead of two separate On/Off buttons and two
scripts?

I have a switch that I would like to run my dust extractor with....and I have set the Basic Script to ActivateSignal(OutPut2), which
works fine.  But I also need to turn it off...but preferably with the same button!

I guess I cannot do it with one button, but will need a second button to run DeActivateSignal(OutPut2)..??

Hi Gerry,

Thanks for the reply.  I've tried the script but get an error!  "Error on Line 1 - Argument not Optional"

I have checked that it's correctly spelled.  The 'Isactive' doesn't turn blue after I've typed it in the scripter...is that the problem?

This is what I have...

If Not Isactive Then
ActivateSignal(Output2)
Else
DeActivateSignal(Output2)
End If

Apologies for my ignorance...still learning this stuff!

I use similar but this way ...

If IsOutputActive(OUTPUT2) Then
DeActivateSignal(OUTPUT2)
else
ActivateSignal(OUTPUT2)
End if
