Hi Mike,
I haven't looked at he patch in detail but that sounds like a rather novel use of a tri-state check box. They are designed for tree hierarchies where an intermediate state is supposed to indicate children in both checked and unchecked state. I would say that using one for this sort of behaviour is non-intuitive and better modelled by three radio buttons in a button group. Would be simpler to just put a spin box in the settings to set the watchdog counter reset value. I do not favour special values and in this case a high value would be as good as disable rather than using zero as a disable option. This approach would not require an main window UI changes. You could add a visible counter to the status bar to show remaining Tx cycles before auto Tx would be disabled. 73 Bill G4WJS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
