Trying to create a screen saver

Hi All,
I am trying to set up a screen saver. Will this work. I have 5 pages of images "Image Page 1..., each page has an image placed on it linked to the next page and Image Page 5 is linked back to the Welcome page, which is the project timeout page at 10 seconds. I have placed a blank button over these that link to the main menu if any of the image pages is pressed. if i set the image page time outs to 9 seconds, will they cycle through each image page until the unit receives a screen press?

Any help or ideas on this or an alternative method would be appriciated.

regards
Trevor

 

The page timeout specifies how long a page is displayed before defaulting back to the main page if no user input is detected. So, no, it won't work. It will display the first page then go straight back to the main page. You will need to write a logic loop to cycle through the pages. Make the first screen saver page the main page, then have logic regularly check if that page has just been shown, and then start your screen saver module to swap pages until another page is selected.

 

All good and solved, thanks for all assistance with this.

Code:

once ShowingPage("Welcome Screen") then
begin
  TimerStart(ssTimeOutTimer);
  TimerStop(ssPageTimer);
end;
once not ShowingPage("Welcome Screen") then
  TimerStop(ssTimeOutTimer);
if TimerTime(ssTimeOutTimer) = "00:00:15" then
begin
  ShowPage("Photo Page 1");
  TimerStart(ssPageTimer);
end;
if TimerTime(ssPageTimer) = "00:00:15" then
begin
  TimerStart(ssPageTimer);
  if ShowingPage("Photo Page 1") then
    ShowPage("Photo Page 2")
  else if ShowingPage("Photo Page 2") then
    ShowPage("Photo Page 3")
  else if ShowingPage("Photo Page 3") then
    ShowPage("Photo Page 4")
  else if ShowingPage("Photo Page 4") then
    ShowPage("Photo Page 5")
  else if ShowingPage("Photo Page 5") then
    ShowPage("Photo Page 6")
  else if ShowingPage("Photo Page 6") then
    ShowPage("Welcome Screen");
end;

 

Hi Trevor.
I would like to implement something similar also including a clock function.
Where do you place this code to implement the solution?

have a look in the logic section i put sample code from one of my customers there, it has an analog clock.
