Flowcode Support Board

Hi,
I have a problem with poor response when I press a simulation push switch or slide switch. If I press sequentially, the switch occasionally fails.
Is there a solution?
If it is possible to add more switches to the FC9, with a more modern design?
Regards

Please post a project which replicates the issue and we'll see what the problem is.

When I press the switch for the first time, the button occasionally does not respond after starting the application, or when I press the mouse quickly, the green light does not come on accidentally or the slide switch does not switch. The error occurs in the simulation or in the application. I am only attaching the program with the switch.

So far I have used ProfiLab-Expert 4.0 from Abacom to communicate with PIC microcontrollers and it has worked great.

I can replicate the issue with the switches failing to register a mouse click if I really try hard to make my mouse click as brief as possible. For normal action it seems fine. It should be ok if you click "normally".

Regarding your comment about more switches with a more modern design, can you give some examples of what you mean?

If i press and release the push button and press and hold it quickly, the green LED never lights up....
I am attaching a picture of various push buttons and displays from the Profilab program. Very interesting is the active surface, which can be set to any size on dashboard.

Here's some Flowcode switch examples I was working on earlier in the summer.
These are based on the existing switch component, but allow for full customisation of colours/fonts, use of images (external or internal), and optional 'thumb'. I have recently implemented switches with an animated switch action too.

These features kind-of exist in the latest v9 release, but are hidden as they are not finished and are being kept for v10. As a teaser, the following program should work in the latest v9 release. It shows these new switch types and shows how they can be used (at the moment, you can only interact with them using Flowcode's Built-in Function API calls). I'm sharing this here as a 'teaser' only and don't suggest you use these in your existing projects.

Hi flowcode.

It's a real shame that we have to wait for the next release of flowcode which is a long way off. When we could do with some more choice of buttons which I did ask for months ago.

Attached is a very simple component that exposes the new hidden switch features. The component source is attached as well as the compiled component. This is unofficial and unsupported, but you can use it if you like.

Thanks for the switches. I would also need push buttons..

You can use the same component without the 'thumb' and using images. That way you can make it look like a push-switch or whatever you want.
