Playing with new PICED features

[Conformist]

Darren, you've outdone yourself with some of the new features!!! The graphing feature is very cool and useful for showing the 'on time' of C-Bus loads, their approximate power use as well as graphically showing temperature history and the on-time of heating.

Well done. I'm sure others will appreciate the benefit of the new feature.

Ah, yes. We were just seeing if anyone actually read the What's New. :o

OK. You caught me out... It looks like the new template got left out of the installer. Sorry about that. We will fix it next time. I have attached it if you would like to start using it.

Just keeping you on the ball.

Next question

What to create text fields and let the user enter text.

Suggestion
Would have been better in the project settings then I can set on a project basis
instead of one setting suits all.

The only ability to enter general-purpose text is with editing string User System IO variables. This is only possible on Colour C-Touch.

Darren,
How do I blank out the textbox ??
I am trying to write the time hours and minutes, but end up with attached pic.

logic code;
{short_time has 10 spaces in it }
Short_time:= ' ';
DrawTextBlock(Short_time, Left, Top, Right, Bottom, Alignment);

Copy(Short_time, Long_time, 1, Count);
DrawTextBlock(Short_time, Left, Top, Right, Bottom, Alignment);

ClearScreen;

[Dave Byron]

Matty.
Good idea - guess I could turn the power off also that would clear the full screen.
Bit of an over kill just to clear the text field I think.

I recommend the same thing before drilling into walls. You don't want to hit power cables.

ClearScreen is the only way to do it.
