@PKEYP AND PAGE FLIP ON CODE ISSUES

Andre Silva

Hello,

I'm trying to make a button that goes back to my main page but for that you need to put a password

so far I have this for the button event and the password keypad pop up:
BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP,LAYOUT_OFF_BTN]
{
PUSH:
{
SEND_COMMAND dvTP,"'@PKEYP-'"
}
}

I can see this command on the notifications tab but only when I send it:
Line 7 (18:58:23):: Command To [10001:13:1]-[PKEYP-]

When I type the password and click ok, nothing happens... I tried with Data.Text, waiting for a string from the dvTP Device (10001:13:1) and also with a buffer that I created for this same device.

Also I need a command that after checking the password (in the data_event[dvTp]) flips to the page named 'Welcome' and clear all the popups of the TP:
IF(cDvTPBuffer == cPassword)
{
//SEND_COMMAND dvTP,"'FLIP TO Welcome PAGE'"
WAIT 5
{
SEND_COMMAND dvTP,"'@PPX'"
}
}

Looking at the PI I found this:
^APF

Add page flip action to a button if it does not already exist.

Syntax:

"'^APF-<vt addr range>,<page flip action>,<page name>'"

Variable:

variable text address range = 1 - 4000.

page flip action = Stan[dardPage] - Flip to standard page

Prev[iousPage] - Flip to previous page

Show[Popup] - Show Popup page

Hide[Popup] - Hide Popup page

Togg[lePopup] - Toggle popup state

ClearG[roup] - Clear popup page group from all pages

ClearP[age] - Clear all popup pages from a page with the

specified page name

ClearA[ll] - Clear all popup pages from all pages

page name = 1 - 50 ASCII characters.

Example:

SEND COMMAND Panel,"'^APF-400,Stan,Main Page'"

Assigns a button to a standard page flip with page name 'Main Page'.


Maybe this is what I have to use to do the Page flip, but I don't know what is the parameter <vt addr range> (variable text address range) represents.

Can someone help me?

Thanks

Strings from the panel come back on port 1. You cannot use port 13 if you choose to use the built-in keypad.

Ok, the KEYP it' working. I have to send it trought the port 1 and receive trought the port 1 other way I couldn't take a response from the device.

I'm also trying to flip pages within the code, someone can help me understand the parameter <vt addr range> (variable text address range) from the ^APF command? Is that the Address code that I can set on the TPDesign 4?

Thanks for the help.

Sure is. Easiest way to think of it is channel number is used to identify events coming from the panel and address is used to target events going to the panel.
