writeToFile

[fmulder]

A panel now (3.15 P7) has a beautiful function 'writeToFile' that can be used to write the panel to a file on disk.
But how do you access a property on the panel or call a method of the panel.

we plan to do some addSymbol()'s and then store this panel so that we can generate panels.

getValue( myModuleName(), myPanelName(), "writeToFile", "test.pnl", "" ) wont work

Any help ?

Thanks

Hello Frenk.

We will rework the documentation for this functionality and add some ready-to-use code examples as well.

Better use setValue instead of getValue, since this is a write-only function. And use either the usual syntax of addressing the panel, which is
".:" or use a shape variable pointing to the panel (e.g. self etc.)

thanks.

I was able to adress the panel via:

Code: Select all

shape panel = getShape( myModuleName() + ".testpanel:" );
panel.writeToFile( "mynewpanel.pnl", "" );

thanks for the help
