Network & Application as integer no work?

I was trying to turn some of my projects into template based pages etc the other day, when I thought I would try and use a global integer for the network and application part of my code. The help file says you can do it, but it just doesn't work. Even when I tried to replace the integer with just 254 on its own, it didn't work. - and yes, my network was 254. The only thing that works is the TAG.

The reason for this is because the project name in toolkit is limited, I use the network name for extra information, so not every projects network is called 'Local Network'

Is it me or is there something wrong?

 

I have just tested the following code and it worked correcty :

Code:

{ global variables section }
Net : integer;

{ module code }
Net := 254;
SetCBusState(Net, 56, 32, ON);

Can you provide an example of the code which didn't work and a description of what you mean by "it didn't work".

 

First, sorry about the delay but I have looked into my problem a bit more...

I think I might have an idea on this. My code below doesn't work, but if I change "Heater 1" to a decimal value - It works!

Is there any way to have mixed integer and tag C-Bus commands?

If this was possible, then long code changes for each touchscreen could be reduced with more 'transportable' based coding.


Global Variables:

NetworkName, Application : Integer;

Module:

NetworkName := 254; (Local Network)
Application := 136; (Heating Network)
Once GetCBusState(NetworkName, Application, "Heater 1") then
SetLightingState("Living Panel Heater", ON);

 

I will have a look into why this doesn't work.

I don't think that writing code like this is a greta idea anyway. If you are doing it for transportability, then use a constant for the group address too, rather than relying on a tag which may or may not exist in the new project.
