Need to press button twice in order for it to work

[helen_pip]

Hello

I have created many buttons in my QVW all of which are doing a variation of 3 things

-Activate Object

-Set Variable

-Set Variable

When I press the button my variables turn colour as directed, but the Activate Object does not pick up the object until I click again on the button

I want to refrain from the user having to double click in order for everything to work O.K.

Has anyne experienced this before, and if so, how do I get it so the button does what I wnat on the first click

Thanks

Helen

Helen, what if you move "Activate Object" to the bottom?

Hello

Thank you for your suggestion, but unfortunately this did not solve the problem

If you have any further suggestions, that would be great

Thanks

Helen,

I just tried, and it works fine for me no matter what the order of action is.  I suspect that the change of your variables triggers something else, and it prevents activation of the object.  When you nclick the 2nd time, the variables probably do not change, and that secret action is not triggered.

Regards,

Thanks for all your help

I have got this working now and you were right there was something cancelling out the actions

All good now

Thanks

Hi Helen,

I have the same problem and can't work out what's happening - can you remember what you found that sorted it out?

Thanks

Hello Elaine

What I ended up doing is changing the order of the actions.....As one action was cancelling out another

By changing the order of the actions, it worked fine

You may need to try several times and think through what the actual process is doing ebfore it starts working

Thanks
