Remove screen items

I had a similiar problem, but did solve it, can'r remember how right now but perhaps if I could look at your code it might jog my memory.  If you're happy to post your code so that others can have a look zip the whole project so the assets are included.  Or I code give you mine, it's quite some time since I did any work on it, but it works well as a skeleton.

Hi Mark,

I'll have a look at your code tonight, I think my code does what you want, but when zipped it's a little too big to upload so I'll send you a seperate link.  Hopefully you can read it, I've tried to make it structured.  Be aware, this is very much a work in progress.  I'm trying to base it on the LightWave app, as you 'enter' a new room I want you to be able to configure devices in it and set 'moods'.  

Like you, I started with the interface, I might now continue to look at the data structure and try to complete the program.  The problem I had with Corona was the difficulty in having an input text field.

Hope it helps,

Karl

Brett,

Thanks for updating the code that works fine with Mark's program.  I'm trying to integrate your routines into something I'm working on and am struggling to understand something.

Taking the following :-

-- UI helper functions
function toggle(v, xpos, ypos)
v.x = xpos
v.y = ypos
v.size = v.size or 20
v.default = v.default or "images/glossy_button_red.png"
v.on = v.on or "images/glossy_button_green.png"
bsc.newToggle(v)
end

local toggleRelay2 =  {
c=toggle, 
defaultSrc = "images/glossy_button_red.png",
overSrc = "images/glossy_button_green.png",
default = defaultSrc,
on = overSrc,
x = 80,
y = 240,
size = 16,
text="Relay 2", 
xapSource="dbzoo.livebox.Controller:relay.2", size=16
}

Why does this work in terms of putting the toggle on the screen :-

toggle(toggleRelay2, 80, 320)

But this doesn't put the toggle on the screen, (screenGroup is defined) :-

screenGroup:insert(toggle(toggleRelay2, 80, 320))

It give this error :-

Runtime error
...rl\documents\corona projects\xapui\scripts\room1.lua:152: ERROR: table expected. If this is a function call, you might have used '.' instead of ':'

stack traceback:
        [C]: ?
        [C]: in function 'insert'
        ...rl\documents\corona projects\xapui

I hope I've given you enough information.  

Thanks

Karl
