I'm a newby so here goes...

I have created an application with four sliders. The value from each slider gets put into its own global variable. I then have a button where the four variables are entered into a formula. When you click the button the answer is displayed in a pop up window.

However, what i want to do is display the answer within a box (a field) already visible on the card. The code associated with the button is:

Code: Select all

global tfSessionDuration, tfMeanHR, tfRestingHR, tfMaximalHR

on mouseUp
   answer "The TRIMP for your training session is " & round(tfSessionDuration * ((tfMeanHR - tfRestingHR)/(tfMaximalHR - tfRestingHR)) * ((2.71200^(((tfMeanHR - tfRestingHR)/(tfMaximalHR - tfRestingHR)) * 1.67)) * 0.86),0) & " arbitrary units"
end mouseUp

How might i change this so that it displays within a box (a field) within the card, rather than in a popup window?

Hi ukaussie,

Welcome to the forum.

instead of

global tfSessionDuration, tfMeanHR, tfRestingHR, tfMaximalHR

on mouseUp
answer "The TRIMP for your training session is " & round(tfSessionDuration * ((tfMeanHR - tfRestingHR)/(tfMaximalHR - tfRestingHR)) * ((2.71200^(((tfMeanHR - tfRestingHR)/(tfMaximalHR - tfRestingHR)) * 1.67)) * 0.86),0) & " arbitrary units"
end mouseUp

put

Code: Select all

global tfSessionDuration, tfMeanHR, tfRestingHR, tfMaximalHR 
on mouseUp 
   put "The TRIMP for your training session is " & round(tfSessionDuration * ((tfMeanHR - tfRestingHR)/(tfMaximalHR - tfRestingHR)) * ((2.71200^(((tfMeanHR - tfRestingHR)/(tfMaximalHR - tfRestingHR)) * 1.67)) * 0.86),0) & " arbitrary units" into field "myFieldName"
end mouseUp

as easy as that, you just provide the field, give it a name and adjust the code to the name of that field.

regards
Bernd
