Page tracking - what am I doing wrong?

adys · June 2012

Hi all

I am trying to do some page tracking so I can open some popups when 3th side module is changing a page (RocketGui for squeeze box)

I have enabled the page tracking in the TP
I am listening to the TP on my code

DATA_EVENT[dvTPFamilyRoom]
{

COMMAND:
{
printDebug("'Family TP DATA.TEXT: ',DATA.TEXT")
}

STRING:
{
printDebug("'Family TP DATA.TEXT: ',DATA.TEXT")
}
}

I get nothing

What am I doing wrong?

When looking at device netlinx notification I can see all the messages that the TP is sending.

Thanks,

Ady.

Page tracking only works if the page flip was done by the panel. It doesn't work when done in code.

Thanks Dave, its done from the panel, all of the page flip and popup are from the panel.
I can see it from the netlinx but not in my code.

BTW, you gave me an idea, would it be better to add a string command to the panel buttons so I can know when the page has been flipped?

Or maybe I can listen to the button itself.... I don't want to sit on the same event that the module is listening to, but maybe this is the best solution?

Thanks,

Ady

Maybe I should listen to port 1? and not the usual ports?

looks like the is another module that catching the messages and not mine
DATA_EVENT[dvTP_Port_1]

Why I am not getting them on both DATA_EVENT?
only one listening on DATA_EVENT is available for port 1?

Any strings that are sent from the TP to the master are sent on port 1, even if it is a text input box that has a different port assigned. Your dvTPFamilyRoom will have to be port 1 in order for your data_event to trigger when a string is sent.

If you want to track pages that are flipped from code, just send the TPAGEON command after the flip. I often do it as a function. This allow any variable that you are using to catch page flips to be updated whether the flips comes from the panel or code.
<code>
DEFINE_FUNCTION fnPageFlip(DEV dvPanel,CHAR cPageName[])
{
SEND_COMMAND dvPanel,"'PAGE-',cPageName"
SEND_COMMAND dvPanel,'TPAGEON'
}
</code>

Thanks

I decided to go with the old way and listen to any of the buttons that open the specific pages
