Hi everyone

Another pretty basic query from me I am afraid.

I have been trying to write a module that provides for a basic bitmap push button. I have it working so that the module's trigger output works fine but the graphics just have me stumped.

The idea is that when the mouse left clicks on the bitmap the image changes to a "button off" image. When the mouse button is release the impage reverts to the "button on" image.

I am having problems with the initial image which is setting itself as "button off" when it should be "button on". After the first click it seems to work fine. I have tried all day to find a solution but can't find one.

All comments and suggestions gratefully received. Has anyone out there got a more efficient solution to creating a bitmap push button than mine? I am sure there must be one.

Thanks in advance

What you need to do is merge the bitmap handling of the on-off switch with the event handling of the push-button.

pushBitmap.osm

It starts with the Bitmap toggle switch

The changes are at the level Toggle/Toggle/Control/Switch

I've taken the works from the push button and put them into the belly of the toggle.

The only other change is removing the preset stuff (meaningless in a momentary). I haven't tested whether the CC module still works but can can't think why it wouldn't.

Thanks a million oddson

I can take heart in that I was pretty much there. Your solution of course was much neater.

I don't know where you find the time to help everyone on this forum so often. Only been here 10 days and I am already seriously in your debt. hope I can return the favour sometime..maybe in about a decade... 😉
