VS Access to the user created fields in the Lighting Device

[Sam Jones]

User creation of new OIP parameters is a unique feature of the "Lighting Device" PIO.  However...

It looks like VS cannot assign values to user created fields in the Lighting Device.  I created to new field, “Sam Field 1”  and “Sam Field 2”.  I then ran the following script, and it failed to assign the specified value.

 

PROCEDURE TestUserFieldAssignment;

VAR
    AssignVal : REAL;
    AssignStr : STRING;
    Fixture : HANDLE;
    
BEGIN
    Fixture := FSActLayer;
    AssignVal := 4359;
    AssignStr := Num2StrF(AssignVal);
    SetRField(Fixture, 'Lighting Device', 'Sam Field 2',AssignStr);
END;
RUN(TestUserFieldAssignment);

Is there a way for VS to assign values to user created fields in the Lighting Device?

 

Attached is an example file.

The data is there, you just need to add     

 

ResetObject    (Fixture); 

 

if you want to see the value change with Obj Info open.

I have dozens of scripts that do exactly this on my 20 or so user-created Lighting Device fields.  I don't recall not seeing changes in the OIP, but maybe that's true.  I did have to add a ResetObject to get the data to change on screen.
