Blinking LEDs

 [1/4] from: sanghabum:aol at: 25-Jun-2001 6:39


Does anyone know the secret of getting a VID LED style to change color? The code below seems to indicate that 'Show resets the color to an internal default. unview/all view layout [ myled: led button "press me" [ myled/color: 0.255.0 print myled/color show myled print myled/color ] ] I get: 0.255.0 ;; that's me having changed the color 255.0.0 ;; that's VID overriding my change Thanks, Colin

Hi Colin,

Try myled/data: true and myled/data: false to change back again. The color defaults are in 'myled/colors. - Chris

You can provide your own led colors, this example will flash on and off view layout [l1: led blue yellow 0:00:00.20] view layout [l1: led blue yellow button "Change" [l1/data: not l1/data] show l1] There are a couple of scripts on my reb that play with led style. led chooses its color from face/colors based on whether the led is on or off. view layout [ myled: led button "press me" [ myled/colors/2: 0.255.0 print myled/color show myled print myled/color ] ] Cheers, Allen K

Thanks Chris and Allen:

I'd looked at /data (and /text and /options) and everywhere else to find where the value was lurking. I'd missed it in /data as that has a default value of None, not True/False. --Coiln.
