Create a RecipePlus button

Use the
RecipePlus
button to initiate RecipePlus operations at runtime. Each button can perform one of the following operations:
  • Download
     writes the ingredient values in the data set of the recipe unit currently selected in the selector object to the tags in the unit's tag set
  • Upload
     reads the tag values in the tag set of the recipe unit currently selected in the selector object and saves those values to the unit's data set
  • Upload and create
     reads the tag values in the tag set of the unit currently selected in the selector object and creates a new recipe unit by writing those values to a new data set
  • Save
     saves the values in a recipe table object to a recipe file
  • Restore
     loads the values from a recipe unit to a recipe table object
  • Delete
     deletes the recipe unit currently selected in the selector object
  • Rename
     renames the recipe unit currently selected in the selector object
The buttons work with the RecipePlus selector object and the RecipePlus table object. Download, upload, upload and create, delete, and rename operations work on the recipe currently selected in the selector. Restore and save operations work with the RecipePlus table object.
Create a separate button on the graphic display for each operation.
TIP:
If a display containing a RecipePlus table is closed while the recipe system is restoring a recipe, the restore operation will be canceled.
