      The only way I could get it to work was to a broadcast.

      So, I send a command to a button "showscreen_deviceName" and I change devicename to which device it is.

      Then I send push button on ALL clients, but only the one with that button will press.

        I use hidden and/or visible buttons to change screens with a 'simulate release' from HS...

          My current projects don't use it, but I used to have a Caller ID screen on all my touch screens, and I had "Show Screen By Itself" going to all clients. It worked fine. Of course, that was many versions of HSTouch ago. I was going to re-implement it on my current projects when I got time, so I'm hoping it still works.

            Your response is very much appreciated, I will try this week. Does anyone know why the event built into HSTouch would not trigger the screen change? it is a nice feature, too bad does not work.

            Thanks,
            Aldo

              Steve, please keep me posted, maybe is something that is easy to fix and HS does not know about that is broken.

                Dan, without bothering you too much, could you please send me the print screen of that event that you have and if you could, the button created in the HSTouch designer.

                Thanks,
                Aldo

                  Kind of a kludge, since what I've got there is my test code...I couldn't find the exact thing you needed, I'm kinda busy, right this second, but this should give you the idea.

                  The capture of the action box is under "when released".

                  The top one shows a few events that I was messing about with. Basically, that is how I do all of my actions. TP2 is my old touch pro 2, and TPRO is my older Touch Pro. Since you can't seem to send one directly to a specific client. For you, in the action editor for the button you care about, just put in show page by itself. I do the same as most, and have all these "special" buttons on a hidden page, which then allows you to use them just as anchors for the events.

                  If you need more, let me know I'll dig a bit more.

                      It must be something that I'm overlooked. Could you please take a look at these screen and let me know what I'm missing?

                      Thanks,

                        It looks like the element name is "Label 003" but your event is looking for "Label003"
                        Try using label names without spaces and see if that works.

                              Thanks. I'm moving on to the next step. I would like to wake up the client when it is sleeping. When I send the event to the screen it does not come on. How did you fix it ?
