Add Loading Spinner to Recipe Load / Recipe Save Button?

[PLCHorse]

The Recipe Load and Recipe save button is working Excellent!

I am using it to write 1101 Integers, and one string.

Is there any way to make it show some kind of loading spinner?

So what ive noticed is the recipe buttons: if it takes a long time to load or save and someone hits the button multiply due to very little indication of anything happening: then they might hit the button 3 times or 4 or 10, causing 10 recipe loads.

My suggestion is to consider visible properties.

You mean make the button invisible after it gets clicked? Ok that sounds plausible but how can i detect in the plc that the recipe load /save  is in progress such to make it invisible

[bachphi]

You can initially set the visibility to

Code: [Select]

False, and then make it visible again at the end

Another option could be to use the enabled property and disable the button, maybe change its text to something else while it is disabled.

See this topic and its "Event - Mouse Down" section that disables the button (Reply #6):
