MSI Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Is it possible to build a string variable and show the contents in an announcement. I want to create a variable string based on some conditions and have it show up on an announcement.var1="DVR1 is currently in use in the "var1="var1+", bedroom"var1=var1+", kitchen"Is this how you create this type of string variable ?variables->var1= var1+bedroom (Are " " needed?)

ILoveC4 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I will be interested to hear what the seasoned programming veterans have to say here.From my tinkering around I think you will have to create a different announcement for each variable, but I could be wrong.

CFUG Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yes, I do this to warn users in one room that a certain DVR is in use in another room. I use audible announcements that go both ways. I have never tried visual announcements though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanE Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 No, there's no 'string building' functionality native in Composer programming.You can create multiple variables, and set it to the one you want before triggering the programming, but you can't build the string from parts ATM.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 ^yes, I should have mentioned this is the approach I use- "canned" variables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
