Encoder HELP

Hi all,
I am new to the flowcode and programming world. I have been able to use the tool effectively for simple tasks. However I would like to use an Encoder in a project, and all of the sample files I have tried are either not working with my hardware or will not simulate for me to debug. I think it is my lack of understanding somewhere. Does anyone have a basic encoder file I can use for testing and learning? I just need the encoder to be recognized and to control two LED's for know. i.e. CW motion turns on one LED and CCW turns on the other LED. If I can understand this I should be able to move forward. I am using a PIC18F87J10 and the encoder is Digikey PN GH7295-ND. I would like to eventually control a 4 digit 7 segment display.
Regards
Dereck

Hi,
This example file works here on FC5 version 5.4

on the form here, you can find different examples. But, the rotary encoder component doesn't currently simulate. The Test file is for the E-blocks hardware.

You can look at the datasheet of EB073 to check how it matches with yours one.
