Good morning all...

In my quest to waste time and learn, I have a question about formulas. Is it possible to stack commands (ph_ commands) from within a formulas, macro, trigger, and so on. I have buttons in my CC that reflect the status of a device. To do this I had to write 2 triggers based on the same action. One changes the button image and the other changes the button text. The triggers are based on the same condidtion so why couldn't I have one trigger that says:
[IF CONDITION]([STATUS OF DEVICE],[PH_STATEMENT 1 TRUE]&[PH_STATEMENT2 TRUE],[PH_STATEMENT 1 FALSE]&[PH_STATEMENT2 FALSE])

(I hope that makes sense to someone)

I know in other languages you can do something like that but can you in PH2?

Thanks Tony but that part I knew... I want to know how to call multiple ph_commands from within the truevalue and falsevalue portions of the statement...

if( boolean, ph_command_1 ph_command_2 ph_command_3 , ph_command_1 ph_command_2 ph_command_3 )

Sometimes, particularly when stacking commands imbedded in other commands, I have found it necessary to bracket the stack with () (ph_xxx + ph_yyy) as some combinations seem to give the parser more problems than others. No hard and fast rule that I know of. Just a technique I found necessary at times when an otherwise valid looking sequence keeps coming up with a "!" result.
