Thanks, this revised version does change colors: --cls set var fColor text = null getproperty aaSafe|rbase_Form color 'fColor'
switch (.fColor) case 'red' property aaSafe|rbase_Form color 'blue' break case 'blue' property aaSafe|rbase_Form color 'red' break default pause 2 using 'No color change.' break endsw RETURN I guess Rbase_Form refers to the selected window and not the calling form. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lawrence Lustig Posted At: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:28 PM Posted To: RB7-L Conversation: [RBASE-L] - Re: Hanging up Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Hanging up << When I click the button if I leave out the "CLS" in the timer it looks the timer doesn't fire. With the "CLS" it clears the pause 2 message but it doesn't fire rest of the timer code and I can't click on the form to close. I need to use task manager to log out. >> I think R:Base is probably getting confused over what RBASE_FORM means in this context because the PAUSE 2 is causing the main form to lose focus. First, off, determining whether the TIMER _really_ isn't running or (as I suspect) it _is_ running but not returning one of the two colors you expect. Then you can figure out how to handle the error. If it's a focus problem, there's I think syntax to explicitly name the form you want to get the property from (GETPROPERTY FormName|RBASE_FORM COLOR 'fColor'). Two programming notes: 1. You should declare and type that fColor variable immediately before GETPROPERTY. 2. On SWITCH statements, it's always a good idea to include a DEFAULT case. Put an error message in there to say that an expected color was encountered. -- Larry
