Save refpanel modified in runtime with writetofile

[andrea.bertorelli]

Hi everyone,
When I edit an object drawn on the page, and saving it with WriteToFile there are no problems.
If I try to do the same imitating "Select object inside PanelRef" by CTRL the modified object does not remain saved

Example:
Working code (color the circle in green, save the page, and when it's reopened it's green)

main ()
{
setValue("circle1","backCol","green");
setValue(myModuleName() + "." + rootPanel() + ":", "writeToFile",RootPanel(),"PNL");
}


Example:
Working code (color the circle in green, save the page, and when it's reopened back to default color)
main ()
{
setValue("object1.circle","backCol","green");
setValue(myModuleName() + "." + rootPanel() + ":", "writeToFile",RootPanel(),"PNL");
}

Is it possible to modify objects in a refpanel on the page where the refpanel is present (during runtime) and save everything?

Thanks!

If you change the settings for an inserted reference in GEDI the information is saved to the panel file.
When I have read your example correctly you want to do the same with the function writeToFile during runtime.

Is this correct?

Yes it is correct!

I got the information from our UI developer that the functionality to save changed reference information is not implemented at the moment for the function writeToFile().

When and if it will be implemented in future releases is not defined right now.
