Hi to all!! If there's a way to have a Button to update ALL text entry parameters at once? What I want to Do is Change every text entry Box individual and when I finish to enter all the text in the Boxes (12) then Update all at once in Xpression!! Right Now when I edit a text box it updates instantly! and for visual reasons I would like to ALL the text be updated at once and not per Text Box basis!! It is for a Election Race I want to update the Votes and Percentage at Once!! It looks weird to update first the percentage and a second later the votes!!

Thanks!

Are you using datalinq?

What you can do is make 2 copies of all of the parameters you want to DataLinq into XPression: 1 for editing and 1 for actually DataLinq-ing in XPression.

When you press your FINISH button, run a task (you can create one using Visual Logic) to set the value of each DataLinq parameter to the value of each editing parameter.

You don't need to show the DataLinq parameters in the Custom Panel for them to stream to XPression.

Thanks James!! @jbober Yes I am using Datalinq via Rosstalk!!

If there's a way to copy and paste or duplicate parameters in DashBoard? I am new to DB and I can't see any edit funtions in the parameters panel :rolleyes:

Thanks!!

Sorry for the delayed response.
The easiest way to duplicate a parameter would be to go into the Parameters dialog select the parameter you want to duplicate, change the OID to something else, and select "Commit Changes". You can do this for each one.

You could also copy/paste the XML tag (the one inside the ... tags) and change the OID to something else there.
