Hi,

I am using PCAN Explorer V5.0.4.641.

I have a PCAN panel (.ipf) which has a value edit control configured. The signal associated with this control is transmitted in a CAN message when the 'Set' button is pressed.

My problem is that the CAN message is sent twice, once on 'Set' button press, and once on 'Set' button release. I require that the CAN message only be sent on 'Set' button press, with no action on release. I cannot see how to modify this behaviour in the associated control properties.

PCAN Explorer 4 did not behave in this manner.

How do I configure my required behaviour?

Regards,
Tony.

Set the panel to Design mode, select your Button, and take a look at the properties. There you find "Push Value" and "Release Value". Add the value which should be send only in the "Push Value" field.

Hi U.

It's not a button I have a problem with, it's a value edit control. This component has a 'Set' button of it's own. This is the button I'm having problems with.

Cheers,
Tony.

Hi U.

Please don't waste any more time on this.

The issue appears to have been resolved by my upgrade to V5.3.1.794.

Thanks again,
Tony.

the button release event is not used for the value edit controls. It looks like you change the signal (press the button) and when you release, an other component override the signal value with its own settings...
please check if the signal is used in any other controll that change the value. If you do not find the problem, could you post us the project, so that we could take a look at it? (support[at]peak-system.com)
