Button caption doesn't update when indirect variable changes.
|
As in the subject, caption and gauge value doesn't update when variable changes.
| Code: |
<button type="Gauge" autosize="false" width="218" height="20" autopos="false" left="1698" top="100" toolbar="2" iconleft="false" inset="true" toolstyle="true" stack="true" color="#00FF80" gaugelowcol="red" gaugebackcol="white" priority="10974" id="81">
<caption>@team_member_1 @{@team_member_1}</caption>
<value>kurwa</value>
<expr>@{@{@team_member_1}}</expr>
<gaugemax>7</gaugemax>
<gaugelow>4</gaugelow>
</button>

That is expected. It only checks the direct variable. You simply can't do it with indirect variables.

One option is to manually update the button yourself when that indirect variable changes using the #UPDATE command.

That might be helpful, I'll definitely check it out. Could you tell me please what will be more effective - using #update or using database variable: %dbkey(@team_member,1) @team_member.1 - all my buttons got caption like this in example and works fine, but I was suggested that efficiency of the code I'm using now is very poor so I'm trying to rewrite and improve it a bit.

The problem with using a database variable is that the button will try to update whenever _any_ element in the variable changes. If all your buttons are using the same variable, it means that all the buttons will try to update whenever any element in the variable changes, which is an awful lot of overhead. #update will be much, much more efficient.

Yes, I'm aware of that but the thing is I'm going to create separate database variable for every team member of my team so every button will be using different variable than others. This way I believe only buttons assigned to variables which have changed will update what might be more effective than #update class of buttons within it.

I was just answering the question "Could you tell me please what will be more effective - using #update or using database variable".

My question wasn't precise enough then - what will be more effective, using #update to update buttons' class or single record database variable for every button.
