Help with Gauges
|
Howdy, I'm a new convert to Cmud from Zmud. I'm having a bit of trouble with gauges and wondering if someone could help me out.
Basically, I have the following gauge:
| Code: |
<button name="AutobashStatus" type="Gauge" autosize="false" width="70" transparent="false" color="lime" gaugelowcol="red" gaugebackcol="red" priority="390" id="39">
<caption>Autobasher</caption>
<value>#if (%class(Autobasher)) {aboff} {abon}</value>
<expr>%class(Autobasher)</expr>
<gaugemax>1</gaugemax>
<gaugelow>0</gaugelow>
</button>
|
In Zmud, this would automatically update the gauge's value, the %class(Autobasher), whenever that class was turned off/on, thus effectively changing the gauge from green to red and back.
In Cmud, it's not doing this for whatever reason. It'll set the colour of the gauge to whatever the current value of the class' state is whenever I save changes to the gauge.
I'm assuming that this is due to the change of code being compiled instead of interpreted, but I can't think of any way to go about making this work. I notice that it would update if I set it to a variable and changed the variable's value, so I tried using a function that would return the value of the class' state. No luck.
Anyone happen to know the solution? |

CMud makes more of an effort to ensure that these visual items aren't constantly being redrawn. This is done by noting what variables are used for a control, and then watching for those variable to change. In your current gauge expression you don't have any variables so the guage never updates. When you tried a function the function itself wasn't actually changing so the gauge was not getting updated.
The correct way to do this is to use a variable for the gauge expression, lets call it ABashState. You should set the default value of the variable to "%class(AutoBasher)" and check the UseDefault box. Then add this line to both your abon and aboff aliases "ABashState=%class(AutoBasher)". |
