on off indicator problem in APP builder

[DAVIDJOINER]

Hi

I am using on off indicator

If you use the default round type it works fine when you run sim

However if you select square it causes flow code to freeze when you run sim

error message is
"An operation is taking a long time to complete would you like to terminate
component OnOFFindicator 1 YES / NO

Flow code is totally frozen and only way to get out is to go into task manager
and end task

Then if you reload program again and same thing happens again

Best Regards
David

Hi David.
Thank you for letting us know.
I can confirm this has been reported here, so it is a known issue.

Thanks for quick update

I notice it was reported in 2020 and still not working ?

So if you are not going to get it fixed soon suggest you soon at least remove that option as it currently causes confusion and wastes time

And i will know only to plan to use the round option

But more importantly

I notice that whilst you can select multiple components together ie switches to allow you to lock together this does
not work for on off indicator even on round mode you can only select one at a time

Can you look at this select issue as need this functionality for my latest program

Hi David,

This issue was first reported at the beginning of this month. Maybe you saw the "join date" of the user who reported it, which is 2020.

We do have a fix in the works, but this needs a new installation of the main Flowcode exe. Hopefully this will be ready soon.

Hi

Okay sorry likely was the join in date I saw

What about my comment re being able to do multi select
can you see this issue

I'm looking into why it cannot be selected using "rubber banding" (i.e. dragging to select multiple objects). It's very strange - Flowcode thinks the components are far to the left/right/up/down depending on the 'placement' setting for the label.

You can select multiple objects if you click them while holding shift down.

(oops - I meant "holding shift down" rather than "holding the mouse down". Now corrected!)

Hi

Thanks yes that's fine using shift when selecting works well
