Does the SELECTED state not work anymore as an element for TRIGGERS
Hi. I have an exceedingly simple issue. I have a number of choices I am offering the user and I want to add up how many options were chosen. I want them to be able to change their mind and so I want...
All the built-in states are just like the rest of us - they think they are normal. In the case of the states, they have a valid reason for thinking so, because they are all overlays of Normal.
When you click the button in a Normal state, it first turns to Selected, then does the associated triggers. The first trigger (add) adds one because the state is Selected. Then the second trigger subtracts one because Selected self-identifies as (and is) Normal. Both triggers are functioning correctly, but it happens so quickly you don't see the addition. You can test it by disabling the subtract trigger.
I don't know that it is a problem (as in bug), but as you and Jurgen found out, Not Equal to Selected works, while Is Equal to Normal doesn't.
