Hello
I am working on a Visio panel with a few buttons, the idea is to create a quick monitoring feature controlling a SDI matrix, I am trying to make it so that when a button is clicked it will set what is connected to a certain destination to a monitor output.
I have the source value in a session variable, 125 in the example.
is there a way I access this session variable in the SET string of the button?
I have tried using var:varName in this field but I am unsure of the correct syntax.
All you should need to make your syntax correct is to add square brackets around your "var:varName". So your _newValue should be "[var:varName]".
If the value is then also placed into the Execute shape data that way (so that it becomes "Set|...955:158|[var:varName]|NoConfirmation"), then I believe everything will work as you expect it.
Resources on what placeholders are, how the work and how to use them:
FYI, I edited my answer further to give you some resources on how to use placeholders.
thank you, that solved it!
