Hi Friends,

Thanks for the wonderful software!

My question is the solo frame. My understanding is that if you have multiple widgets in a solo frame only one can be active at a time. It wous seem to me then that when one function is executing and you click on another button in the solo frame the first function should end and the second start. What appears to be happening is that the second function starts, but the first doesn't end. I am not sure what I have not done that needs to be done.

I have attached the QXW

The frame would be red if it were a real solo frame.. :) Try redoing it.. dont just copy and paste the buttons, let us know how it goes.

Forget some important details:

Windows 8.1
QLC+ 4.9.1

I am clicking on the icon labeled solo fram and it is coming black. Is there something else I am missing?

Hmm, That was the best of my knowledge of solo frames, if it aint red, its not solo.. Just the outline should be red, the header is still black. I created a new solo frame in your file and it worked. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can help. Good luck!

Thank you for your patience with an obvious new guy problem.

:oops:

I deleted everything and recreated them and it is working exactly as I expect it to. I have a suggestion, but it is a fairly low priority. I am color blind.\, (kind of a problem for a light guy I know) and did not see the red frame until I asked my son. It would be useful if there was an indication of the solo frame somewhere in the widget properties. I looked for that and didn't find anything. I understand though that priorty is on the new version we are looking forward to.

No probem. Glad you worked it out. Ive had to recreate my virtual console a bunch of times until it worked the way i wanted it to. Also, if you hover over the button, it says which button it is.
