Combine Button Events?

jabramson · June 2012

I have a number of Button Events that run the same code.

Currently I have them listed as:

BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP1,801]
BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP1,802]
BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP1,803]
BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP1,804]
BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP1,805]
BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP1,806]
BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP1,807]
BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP1,808]
BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP1,809]
BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP1,810]
{
  //Do Script
}

Is there a way to combine all those button events or do a range?

Thanks

The way I always do this is define an array of integers and include it instead of a channel number in the BUTTON_EVENT, e.g.

DEFINE_CONSTANT
VOLATILE INTEGER btnABUTTONRANGE[] = {801, 802, 803, 804};

DEFINE_EVENT
BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP,btnABUTTONRANGE]{
  PUSH:{
    doScript(GET_LAST(btnABUTTONRANGE));
  }
}

This will call the function doScript with the parameter 2 in the case of button 802 being pushed.

You can also use a devchan array. This will allow you to utilize a single handler for events from multiple devices as well as channels.

...

define_variable

devchan combinedControl = {
	{dev1, 1},
	{dev1, 2},
	{dev2, 1}
}


define_event

button_event[combinedControl] {

	push: {
		// do stuff here
	}

}

...
