hi coders

changing a text field works fine with SelectedIndex but NOT with Selectedname

this works fine, browser returns "Function completed successfully."
http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=SetText&InputName=smallresult&SelectedIndex=0&Value=GER

this does NOT work, but browser returns also "Function completed successfully."
http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=SetText&InputName=smallresult&SelectedName=Home.text&Value=GER
http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=SetText&InputName=smallresult&SelectedName=Home&Value=GER

also i have no success with color changing, browser returns "No suitable Function could be found."
http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=SetTextColor&InputName=smallresult&SelectedIndex=0&Value=#FF0000


these are my fields
smallresult.PNG (10kb) downloaded 0 time(s).

what i am doing wrong? Thanks for your help

@Peter1000,

1) Check your InputName. Maybe it should be "smallresult.gtzip"
2) Looks like SelectedName is case-sensitive, use "Home.Text" instead of "Home.text".
3) There is no SetTextColor function, it named SetTextColour.

no success for SelectedName :-(

this does NOT work, but browser returns "Function completed successfully."
http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=SetText&InputName=smallresult&SelectedName=Home.Text&Value=GER
http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=SetText&InputName=smallresult&SelectedName=Home&Value=GER
http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=SetText&InputName=smallresult.gtzip&SelectedName=Home.Text&Value=GER
http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=SetText&InputName=smallresult.gtzip&SelectedName=Home&Value=GER

a bit more success with COLOUR instead of color.... BUT
sending this via browser, imediately changes the alpha value to 0, no matter what i send.
this is white with alpha set to 254, FEFFFFFF, after sending this in browser or with HTTP over my client,
Before sending it:

After Sending this: http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=SetTextColour&InputName=smallresult&SelectedIndex=0&Value=#FEFFFFFF
it does not matter which value i send, can also be 0000FF for Blue

Hi,

The names need to match exactly, for example HOME is all upper case in your title, so it also needs to be in your commands.
For the colour, the # is a reserved letter in HTTP, so you need to correctly encode it to %23

Here is a handy tool to ensure the URLS are encoded correctly:

Thanks Martin! Its getting closer :-)
My titles are updating only with Input=2, if they are not in the Preview Window. With InputName=smallresult, they update only, when active in the Preview window

UPDATES TIME, NO MATTER IF IN PREVIEW OR NOT
http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=SetText&Input=2&SelectedName=TIME.Text&Value=1234

UPDATES TIME ONLY IF IN PREVIEW
http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=SetText&InputName=smallresult&SelectedName=TIME.Text&Value=9999
http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=SetText&InputName=smallresult.gtzip&SelectedName=TIME.Text&Value=9999

Is this a feature or wanted?

Thanks

Peter

InputName is not a valid property, it is always Input regardless of using numbers or names.

Meaby the problem is the # in the URL? Meaby you can use %23?

Edit: Sorry, i didn’t saw the post of the admin.
