The macro is running fine but whatever the value i'm selecting from the patient id list box and running the 'macro run'

button, values are not reflecting on the text objects. What to do now?

My macro is :

LOGFILE_NAME = CurrentPath()&"/logs/R.log"

Here I want to select some id's from the list box and trying to reflect the values as a tree model and as a bar plot on two different text object. The .png files are generating but the value is not reflecting there. I'm giving the Text objects code:

1. Here I'm showing the tree model

=vAppPath&'\New Plots\R_Score_Plot_1_'&$(vRuntime)&'.png'

2. Here I'm showing the Bar plot

=vAppPath&'\New Plots\R_Score_Plot_4_'&$(vRuntime)&'.png'

Thats all. Any suggestion will be helpful.

I'm attaching the updated application in a new folder. please have a look.
