<t>I'd say you don't need to close the connection explicitely since it will be done automatically when the CTRL manager stops the script.<br/> <br/> However if you like to do any other task when the CTRL manager shuts down, then - with 3.16 - you can register a callback<br/> with sysConnect("callbac...

<t>The TrendCurve reflects the invalid bit being set on the DPEs value, therefore you'll see a changing line type.<br/> First I would make sure that this does not happen, e.g. this DPE always receives value changes with increasing timestamps.<br/> Since this seems not the case here, I have the feeli...

Use cellWidgetRC and pass an empty string instead of "PushButton"

You can not pass an object via $-parameter.
However you can call a public function in that Panel Reference, which has any datatype as argument.
So do it in 2 steps:
1) addSymbol()
2) call the public function in the newly added symbol

<t>You are right. When the clock widget (or any other widget) changes, it means the UI is still running the main loop correctly and is not "frozen".<br/> Would the UI for whatever reason not being able to come back to the main loop, e.g. you are using any code which could block doing an operating sy...

<t>no, there isn't.<br/> What you could do as a workaround:<br/> set your background object to invisible and make sure to uncheck the gedi option "Show Invisible Shapes".<br/> Or draw the background object on layer 1 and all others on layers > 1 and hide layer 1.<br/> Or dont' use a background objec...

use the CtrlADO CTRL extension, which provides commands to directly read from an external database, e.g. dbOpenConnection(), dbOpenRecordset(), etc.

<t>it is possible. You can call any public function from any panel, regardless if it's loaded in a Module either embedded or not, even opened in a child panel.<br/> Do it like this:<br/> invokeMethod("embeddedModuleName.PanelNameInside:", "publicFunctionName", argument1, argument2);<br/> <br/> The k...

<t>I think it's now time to find out what you really want to achieve.<br/> If you want to just automate some steps within Gedi and do other editing manually, then the gedi extension scripts are the way to go, however currently you can not automate all actions gedi can do (working on that for 3.17).<...

<r>In fact you can also use 3.15 and a gedi extension script, which uses addSymbol() in the callback, e.g.<br/> in scripts/gedi/addRef_ext.ctl <CODE><s>[code]</s><i> </i>main() { int id = moduleAddMenu("Test"); moduleAddAction("addRef", "", "", id, -1, "work"); } work() { addSymbol(myModuleName(), r...
