All buttons event??

MorgoZ

I need to keep a popup "visible" while ANY button on the interface is pushed, and hide the popup when no button is pushed (in a few seconds).

So, my question is:
Can i make a "push" event for ALL buttons at all ports and channels of the touch pannel interface?

If not, do you imagine a solution for what i´m trying to do?

Thanks!!!

DEFINE_VARIABLE
Dev tpsAll [] =
{
tp1, tp2, tp3, tp4, tp5
};

DEFINE_EVENT
BUTTON_EVENT[tpsAll, 0]
{
PUSH:
{
//Show Popup
}
}

To go a step further from the PP:

DEFINE_VARIABLE

Dev tpsAll [] =
     {
     tp1, tp2, tp3, tp4, tp5
     };

DEFINE_EVENT

BUTTON_EVENT[tpsAll, 0]
     {
     PUSH:
	  {
	  //Show Popup 
	  }
     RELEASE:
	  {
	  CANCEL_WAIT 'SOME_WAIT_NAME';
	  WAIT SOME_TIME_CONSTANT 'SOME_WAIT_NAME'
	       {
	       //hide pop up
	       }
	  }
     } 

You could forget the release altogether and put its code in the push too. Might even create a flag to track the pop up and then if(nPopUp_Closed) call to open the pop up an then when you open it set nPopUp_Closed to 0 and to 1 when you close it, just to reduce the number of commands to the TP.

Do remember that there is an upper limit to how many buttons can be in an event stack. The limit is 3999 buttons. While this number seems big it can be surpassed easily when you start including a few UIs.

Using the "0" catch all in a button event only counts as 1 event so you can use as many buttons as you want with out being affected by the 4k limit that button event have that use button arrays. I think you would need to define 4000 TPs in the TP array to reach it regardless on the actual number of buttons used if you use "0" instead of a button array.
