Hi,

I have problems with spinner component:  
I put some in a window, with value, minimum, maximum and step binded on indirect tags.  
Each time I change the parameter of the indirection, I have this popup of error:  
“Error in spinner configuration.”  
“IllegalArgumentException: (minimum \<= value \<= maximum) is false”

I think it’s because of the order of binding, so I tried to set it with python: I set limits before the newValue.  
It reduces the bug, but it still occures pretty often.

Note that the spinner after closing the error message is fully functionnal.

Any idea how I can escape this annoying error ?

Thanks.

You probably won’t be able to use binding for the min/max if your ranges are too different. You’ll have to use scripting to change the order of changes dynamically based on the difference between old range/value and new range/value. The constraint shown must remain true while each limit is changed – you must figure out (programmatically) what order to make the adjustments.

I would perform five assignments in a script, something like this:

```auto
spinner.minValue = min(spinner.minValue, newMin)
spinner.maxValue = max(spinner.maxValue, newMax)
spinner.intValue = min(newMax, max(newMin, spinner.intValue))
spinner.minValue = newMin
spinner.maxValue = newMax

```

This is a known issue – we’re being a little too aggressive on when we evaluate your limits. It won’t help you right now, but we should have a fix in 7.9.9

The scripted method seems to do the job until 7.9.9 is coming !

Yes, the fix got pushed back from 7.9.9 - it’s actually fixed in 7.9.11. The beta should be out fairly soon, so you can confirm.

7.9.11 beta 1 installed. Still having issues with the spinners I had, Red outlines, occasionally error overlays. I replaced with new components, seems ok now.

Edit:  
Restarted my gateway and the red overlay errors are back.

@paul-griffith is the issue corrected in 8.0?  
What’s the status for 7.9.11?
