The DynamicData code is still a work in progress and I still have at least one change planned. Each data item may have more than one value and I am planning on returning more data for each item.
Some of the possible data returned could be tooltip text, text, color, boolean, long, progress%, etc...
Once I have it all worked out I will let everyone know the new properties.
I have tried each of the following:
Code: Select all
oEffect(x,1).Value (not equal) ""
oEffect(x,1).IsValid
oEffect(x,1).Value.IsValid
IsNumber(oEffect(x,1).Value)
NOT IsNull(oEffect(x,1).Value)
... combined with the comparison:
Code: Select all
AND oEffect(x,1).Value (greaterthan) 0
(I also tried Cint(oEffect(x,1).Value) ... causes error if there is no effect.)
All of these appear to always return TRUE even though there may be no actual effect in there (when I display the .Value in a string between two colons, it is zero spaces).
I find it odd that if I add up all the players' effect values:
Code: Select all
for x = 1 to 6
tmpflag = tmpflag + oEffect(x,1).Value
next
... that the total of tmpflag will not be greater than zero if no one has effects, and will be greater than zero if someone has effects. In other words, this part still works properly, so it is still finding accurate and appropriate data in there. Ergo I don't understand why none of my efforts to ferrett out a valid value have worked.
Well, last release this dynamicdataitem.value returned the value 'zero' and everything worked great. Can you revert back to having it return the value 'zero'? Or do you have other suggestions?
Thanks Gheez!!
Guess something got corrupted? ....or maybe someone can tell me what might have been the issue (and how I caused it) so I can avoid it in th future. =) Again- well done with this.
