Unpress screen button with other buton
« on: October 21, 2019, 12:58:18 PM »
Dear people,

Iam currentlyy building a custom function in a tab on screen to quickly do so programmed gcode. I have 3 different ''option'' buttons on screen. But only one can be pressed down and the other needs to be up.

How do I make the screen buttons go up when one of the other two is presses? I couldn't find it anywhere.

Could someone please help me? Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Jelle

I don't see a button state for regular buttons but I think you could use toggle buttons and on the left up script set the other button's buttonState to 'Up' or down depending on what you desire.

Thanks for the reply. I thought of that. But my screen needs three options. This is why I can't use the toggle button, cause it only has two options.

Thanks for the reply though

you need 3 toggle buttons.  Set the state of the other two after the press of the other.

tog1,tog2,tog3
in the left up script for tog1
scr.setProperty('tog2','Button State','Up')
scr.setProperty('tog3','Button State','Up')

see this example I posted a while ago

You could also just use regular buttons and change the 'Label' or 'Bg Color' property.

Without seeing the exact code you ran it is impossible to know what you did.  If you just copied the code and didn't create 3 toggle buttons and rename them tog1,tog2.... then of course it won't work

I already had three toggle buttons which I gave names in the same order as you did. Volopdek, Tussenliggend and Halfopdek.
'
I put this code in the up script from button ''volopdek'': scr.setProperty('Halfopdek','Button State','Up') scr.setProperty('Tussenliggend','Button State','Up')

This is my first time trying to change screen related items in lua, so maybe I am doing something stupid here.

scr.SetProperty not scr.setProperty
