Also I'm making my first baby steps in LUA and programming.

the question I have:

I created a virtual device which has one button.

What function do I need to change the text by a string-variable?

Hi Lambik,

if I well understood the question you are trying to change the label of a button through the code. At this stage this function is still not available but, you can define a label near to the button and you can change it through lua code.

See the file here attached and if you want take a look at the post I made just few hours ago.

I'll take a look at your post. I'm very new to this kind of programming, so I will learn from your script.

Thanx for your respond. It's highly appreciated!!

I think the JSON API would let you do this. A bit heavy weight though.

Do you have an example how to do this?

With comments if possible. Like I said, I'm new to programming...

I've got a lot to learn!

I do some testing in the (near) future.

Thanx!

robmac, but the caption for the button is refreshed only after the page is reloaded

As I said earlier in the thread it is not a great solution. It is a very heavy weight way to change a single button caption and I am not even saying it is safe. Thus the warning about testing.
