CCS/TMS320F28069M: Cannot Add an onclick event to the Button Widget in the online GUI Composer

Hi,

I'm using the online GUI Composer, and I'm trying to add an onclick event for the Button widget but I can't seem to find the 'Events' section in its properties. Is there some other way to resolve this? Can I code it in JavaScript? If so, how?

Yes, this cannot be set through the widget Properties but would need to be coded in Javascript. Here are a couple of related forum threads that should hopefully point you in the right direction:

Hi,

Thank you for your help. I went to the suggested links, but they only say how to bind a DSS script to the onclick event of the button. I am using the online GUI Composer, so the button widget does not have an onclick event.

What I am trying to do is have a "save" button in my GUI, which when clicked will save data from a graph to a file. When the GUI is running, the user will write the name of the file in a text box and then click the "save" button to save the data in the file. I would greatly appreciate any help on this.

Thank You.

There are several examples on our GUI Composer Gallery that could be a good reference and serve as a starting point for you to build upon: https://dev.ti.com/gallery/

If you type "save" in the Search box, it will narrow down the matches. The XDS_SaveVariablesToFile might be the closest we have to what you are looking for.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your help. The XDS_SaveVariablesToFile project makes use of the "onclick" event to tie a JavaScript function to the button widget, which is where the issue is. Like I mentioned before, the button widget of the online version of GUI Composer does not have an "onclick" event. So is there any other way to tie a JavaSciript function to the button widget or a way to save data to a file when a button is clicked? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

How can I tie a button widget to a JavaScript function?

You can edit the index.gui file in the GUI Composer project directly to add the "onclick" event to the button widget and tie it to a function. Then create a separate javascript file to define the function, similar to how it is done in the XDS_SaveVariablesToFile example.
