I'm having to convert an existing RSView32 app over to ignition. Trying to keep the same general appearance for continuity with operators. On a particular popup there is an inc/dec set of buttons. No problem implementing that with scripting. But on the old RSView32 button there was an option to do a repeat action script while the button was held down at a set interval. I've searched and searched thinking that would a common action, but haven't found anything. Maybe I'm searching the wrong terms.
I've thought about putting a timer on the popup and have the timer run the script to do the incrementing until the button is released. But I'm worried that a button release fails and the timer stays enabled. That would be bad.
I've also thought about replacing this with a slider which would be much easier to manipulate. The problem is that there are two inc/decs that have to work in concert with each other. A refill setpoint and a shutoff setpoint. The refill setpoint can't exceed the shutoff setpoint, and the shutoff setpoint cannot go below the refill setpoint. I could bind the min/maxes of the slider to the other's value, but that rescales the slider presentation. I wish there was a separate clamp on the slider but keep the scale the same (0-100).
I thought about dynamically binding the tag's engineering clamps, but that seems to throw a popup error when attempting to write that value instead of just transparently clamping it.
Suggestions?
