reloadEFS() ???

[Doji3333]

Does reloadEFS() cause the entire EFS to reload (meaning premain and main)??

I'm messing with pulling data from a web server and I need to include a switch (to pull different files and redraw across multiple days of data). I've included a button and the reloadEFS() command - but I can't see that the EFS is actually reloading. In fact, I can't see it do anything different??

when reloadEFS() is called, does it clear all the previously drawn lines/objects? Does it recalc from the beginning of the data (on the chart). Does it reprocess premain()??

As far as I can tell - none of this is being done.

Brad,

It should act pretty much as if the user has requested a reload of the data.

About the only thing I would that doesn't get reset is Universal Globals (which it shouldn't - so this is good).

oddly....

Garth, thanks for the reply...

Try this file.. when you click on the button, it should reload the efs...

I've added a debug line into preMain - but it never executes on RELOAD?? I think I found a bug??

Hi Brad,

I looked it over and it looked OK at a glance, but I'm not at a location where I can run it or debug it.

BTW, I haven't ever used reloadEFS() under the latest release of eSignal or any of the current beta/alpha's. So it is possible you have discovered a new behavior if you are running under one of those.

thanks...

Garth,

I appreciate your efforts. Maybe JasonK will see this thread and help out...

I'm using version 7.6 currently. I like to stay behind the newest releases because I don't like fighting bugs. I might try to get the latest version today to see if it resolves this problem??

It is just odd that reloadEFS() is doing nothing in this build??

ReloadEFS() preserves the state of any external variables when it is called (and skips the preMain() function) while right-click, Reload is equivalent to loading the script fresh from disk.

That info was from a post of Chris Kryza in this thread

Brad,

I revised the code slightly to debugPrintln a second counter each time it is reset, it works well on this end with the most recent version of eSignal.

Thanks Steve...

I did a limited search - but did not see that post.. Now, back to work on it..

Odd though... You would think it would re-execute preMain() so you could modify the returned label parameters with changes to your code.... Ah well - live and learn..
