- I am writing an application in AmigaVision (version 1.53 revision G) and
- have had some problems using the FORM and E FORM icons.
- The first Form icon in the application appears to execute fine, however,
- there are two extra hit-boxes in addition to the ones used for "EXIT ON"
- and "ABORT ON". These extra hit-boxes are used to select other FORM icons.
- To accomplish this, an IF-THEN icon is placed as a child to the first FORM
- icon. The IF-THEN icon checks the response() function to see if either of
- the extra hit-boxes have been selected, and if so, it branches to an E FORM
- icon to terminate the FORM icon. The icons after the first FORM icon (it's
- siblings) are then executed. These are IF-THEN-ELSE icons which direct the
- flow to other SCREEN and FORM icons.
-
- The screens come up fine, but when the new FORM icons are encountered
- nothing happens, the application just hangs there until you break out of it
- and go back to the editor. If the same IF-THEN-ELSE, SCREEN, and FORM icons
- are taken out of the flow and run they work just fine.
-
- I have tried all sorts of variations will the flow; the trouble is, that I
- am not even sure what is going wrong. That makes it really difficult to
- fix! Has anyone had trouble like this with the FORM & E FORM icons? If so,
- PLEASE let me know how you worked it out.
-
- Patrick.
