DEVCHAN and GET_LAST

Jeff Lockyear

I'm familiar with using DEVCHAN arrays, and I can use GET_LAST with said array when there's only one touchpanel. If there's more than one TP, I run into problems with the value the GET_LAST gives me (I want it to be the same for each different panel).

DEVCHAN TP_BUTTON [] =
{
{TP1,10},{TP1,11},{TP1,12},
{TP2,15},{TP2,16},{TP2,17}
}

GET_LAST would return a 4 when TP2,15 is pushed, but in my code it would be much better to see a 1, like when TP1,10 is pushed. Do I need a separate DEVCHAN array per touchpanel? If I put all the panels in a DEV array first, I can't put that DEV in a DEVCHAN array, which would seem the best solution.

Make any sense?

Try this.

Jeff,

Set up an array of devices and a separate array of channels.

Define_Device
dvTP1 = 10001:1:0
dvTP2 = 10002:1:0

Define_Constant
INTEGER nButtons[] =
{
  10,
  11,
  12
}

Define_Variable
DEV dv_TP[] =
{
  dvTP1
  dvTP2
}
Volatile nCurrent_TP
Volatile nCurrent_Button

Define_Event
Button_Event[dv_TP,nButtons]
{
  Push:
  {
    nCurrent_TP = Get_Last(dv_TP)
    nCurrent_Button = Get_Last(nButtons)
  }
}

<Click!> Looking at that makes a lot of sense. I'll give it a shot. Thanks a ton.
