I just got my MX-1200 and is working great. I did a very generic (working) setup to actually use it while I work on the actual config. I'm testing some gui elements I've made for example (mock up):



I've been able to create all except "Toggle (Multi 1)" and "Toggle (Multi 2)". List was simple, Toggle/Check were also simple (boolean variables). "Toggle (Multi 1)" would take me to a page with a list and when I select something it would change "Item". "Toggle (Multi 2)" would change "Item" text in place. I just wondering what is possible, so I have a question for the more experienced installers out there (or URC if they are watching).
  • Is it possible to have a button use the text from a variable? I tried creating a text variable hoping I could select it for a button, but only boolean ones work.
  • Can a button change the text of another button? If text variables don't work, this would be another option.
  • Other option been able to show/hide buttons or bring buttons to the front (but this would be ugly)
Anyway this is how it looks in the remote(icons are not aligned because even though they look ok in the simulator, they end up higher in the remote):

Hmm, TEXT doesn't do what I thought. I thought it changed the button text permanently, it only changes the text while I'm pressing it. :(

If it changed it permanently I could use toggle+ifs to create the 'Toggle (multi)' elements. Anyone has another idea?

Well I found out how to do the multi-toggle on my own. I thought people here would be more knowledgeable and help me find the solution.

What is it with noobs lately giving people a hard time for not getting help right away? I read your post, I did have the answer, but I hate typing on my phone and I was too burnt to open my laptop when I got home. Sorry that we didn't give you free advice soon enough.

No shit. I should have stopped everything, climbed out of the tight attic I was in today, taken off the jumpsuit, dust mask, went outside in the snow that was once again coming down found signal and come to help out someone on the forum. Sorry for having a job and a life away from remote central. It's shit like this that has me on the verge of just walking away from this place.

In case anyone is interested on how to do it (toggle 3 items):

1.create 3 buttons, put them all in the same location.
2.make a boolean variable for each button and assign it one to each button (item1_togggle..item3_toggle) make them all true
3.set the image transparent for both normal/pressed states in 3 buttons
4.set text for normal state for each button (item 1, item 2,item 3), let text in pressed state empty
5. in the button you will use to toggle use this macro:
  VAR item1_toggle=true
  VAR item2_toggle=true
  VAR item3_toggle=true
  TOGGLE
    VAR item1_toggle=false
    VAR item2_toggle=false
    VAR item3_toggle=false

Is better to have them show when toggle is false because showing it when true looks ugly (topmost button always shows while pressed). I guess it could be done with ifs, but nested ifs are a mess, this seems more clean.
