How can I get Text Value from a button on TP? I have a button with a text inserted by the user by a numeric keyboard. How can I read the value?
Thanks

Have you tried this?

"'?TXT-<vt addr range>,<button states range>'"

      Get the current text information. 

 

      Syntax: 

            SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'?TXT-<vt addr range>,<button states range>,<optional index>'"

 

      Variables: 

            variable text address range = 1 - 4000.

            button states range = 1 - 256 for multi-state buttons 

              (0 = All states, for General buttons 1 = Off state and 2 = On state).   

            optional index = This is used if a string was too long to get back in one 

              command. The reply will start at this index.    

            custom event type = 1001:

 

                  Flag   - Zero

                  Value1 - Button state number

                  Value2 - Actual length of string 

                  Value3 - Index

                  Text   - Text from the button 

                  Text length - Button text length

 

 

      Example:

            SEND COMMAND Panel,"'?TXT-529,1'"

            Gets the button 'OFF state' text information.

            The result sent to the Master would be:

                  ButtonGet Id = 529 Type = 1001

                  Flag   = 0

                  VALUE1 = 1

                  VALUE2 = 14

                  VALUE3 = 1

                  TEXT   = This is a test

                  TEXT LENGTH = 14
