iX Talk

Is this possible to declare new instances and remove instances of objects on a screen on the fly.

eg: On_ScreenOpened, read some tag, draw n# instances at dynamic positions

then animate those instances individually from those positions and toggle visibility at different stages based on arbitrary tag values

// this bit could be done with a reset position and visibility control
finally remove those instances and create a new set of instances.

d_reibelt,

Technically, this can be done, but I've never tried it before in iX. In C#, to add a control to the screen you would create the object, add it to the form's Controls list, then refresh the form. To remove it, you would remove the object from the controls list, etc. Doing some digging, it seems iX's equivalent to Controls is DrawingPrimitives.

AMitchneck,

yes thanks, I found a way to do it using standard forms techniques. This key is understanding how iX is doing the same thing.
