Button ID question

**peijffertje** · 11-20-2007, 08:08 AM

Hi,

When using the powermate (or arrow keys) to select buttons, you have to go through every button in the screen.

I'm trying to define a group of buttons that can be selected by using GIRDER and the <STATE> function.
However, I cant find a way to identify a button (so I can set the focus on it)

Is this possible at all and if so, could anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks

I think with girder you can set the mouse coordinates and then give the click command.

Thats a good idea, but wouldnt that active the button as well? I just want to put the focus on it (so that its lights up with <whatever>_ON.SKIN)

There are 3 commands in rr you can use with the powermate.

"CTRLLEFT" - Selects/Highlight the Previous control on the screen
"CTRLRIGHT" - Selects/Highlight the Next control on the screen
"CTRLEXEC" - Executes the Selected/Highlight control on the screen

When you turn left give the command "CTRLLEFT", same with "CTRLRIGHT" and when pushed down execute "CTRLEXEC"

Just make sure your button ID is in order, otherwise the buttons jump around.
