Hello all,
I've decided to make my own simple screen saver for use with HS Touch. Due to the buggy and/or poorly documented state of HSTouch, I'm having to do some funky workarounds but overall it seems working.
In short, I have three text boxes the width of the display positioned as TOP, MIDDLE, and BOTTOM. I've got 9 buttons in HSTouch that control what is displayed on each of these text boxes. Each of the buttons represent:
Each of the above buttons enters a value (ie- the time) in the appropriate box, and removes the value from the other two. The way that I "approximate" the horizontal spacing is by adding spaces before the time. Hack...i know.
I have 9 corresponding manually triggered events in HS3 that simulate a button press on each of the above 9 buttons effectively allowing me to "position" the text on the screen from one of the 9 positions.
I'm trying to figure out a 10th event that can randomly run one of the other 9 events all within the same group.
Can someone suggest how to script this?
thanks,
Marco
