  1. The alt- fields are still text fileds they just have zeros prepended to the number.

    And if you cange the values they will not update the filed.

    You can also use =VALUE('Lighting Device'.'Channel') this will convert the text to a number and sort correctly but it will disable editing.

  2. You need to either create the unit as a multi circuit unit, or insert each cell individually and then convert to multi circuit.

    Take a look in the manula on how to create multi citcuit symbols.

  3. The orphans should have all the data sent from LW.

    Make sure you are sendiing all the correct data from LW and the fields are being matched correctly. The rectangle is drawn when VW can't find the instrument symbol.

    Once that hapens you should be able to send the data back out to LW with the UIDs in place and LW will match the LWIDs and pick up VW's UID.

  4. For starters get rid of the functions QTInitialize and QTOpenMovieFile by creating them you are over riding the built-in functions for those calls.

    Once you do that it looks like it should work, or at least have a chance of working.

  5. That's waht happened.

    Start by setting the last two parameters of SETBELOWITEM and SETRIGHTITEM to 0,0.

    SETRIGHTITEM(dialog, #, #, 0, 0);

    SETBELOWITEM(dialog, #, #, 0, 0);

    The shift is additive. If you shift one control the other will automaticall move with it. If you want to move back to the start you have to shift the control in the negative direction.

    Don't know what the control ID's are for the dialog but the best layout is to set all the controls on the left below each other then set the controls on the right of the control on the left.

  6. Your symbols are probably 3D only. As soon as you assign a label legend to the instruments the objects become hybrid and supress the 3D in a 2D view. If you switch to a 3D view you should see the fixtures.

    To fix the problem you will have to edit the symbols and the 2D information then run refresh instruments.

  7. Just took anopther look at the problem to be sure.

    If you hit the esc you still may need to make a click in the drawing. (You should still see the bulls eye curssor) Once you click in the drawing you will either place the acc or see a warning message about clickiing on an instrument. VW is waiting for a click in the drawing and will not release to tool till it gets one.

  8. Your screen redraw problem is because you are showing the dialog during the object reset event. You need to use an event enabled object with a button to run the dialog.

    You can create a temp symbol by using BeginContext and EndContext(0) within the script.

  9. If the paperwork is finding them, they are somewhere in the drawing.

    The best way to find them is to use the Create Report command and create a report for all "Lighting Devices". It will create a worksheet. Right click on a row in the worksheet and choose select item. The drawing will center on the object so you can find it.
