IFIX 5.5 How can i make a picture object visible from a tag

[TheWaterboy]

I'm not familiar with ODF files... Is this Fix (from long long ago) and not iFix?

In iFix you use the animations dialog to enable this without any scripting.

Yup. My company started with DMACS on DOS, then went to FIX32. When iFIX came out we stuck with VIEW.EXE/DRAW.EXE which use ODF files for many years.

Ahh, OK then I am of no help whatsoever
Did you visit the GE forum for this?

Hi Shane
The View macro is placed in the PIC folder. Ive invoked commands defined on the View macro like CTRL-Q to open quickview and can confirm it worked ok.
Once placed the code behind a button (without the start markers) and it worked as a function of TEST_BIT status being 1.

I do hate giving up, but I am stumped. Will continue to mull it over and let it stew for a while in the subconscious.
