Is it possible to run the program in a frame, in a continuous way?
For example, to animate an element with something else than a boolean (update the result of an equation in a boolean that will be used to animate an element)
Or to return the value of a constant defined in the frame to the automaton program in a permanent way (in order to have a "CURRENTFRAME" variable, as we have a "CURRENTVISU", to inform the main program which frame is displayed)
Any idea?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You can access external variables by using VAR_IN_OUT in the function. Depending on how fancy you need to get, you could even declare a function block in the visu itself and call methods of it in the same way.

I've done this by creating a function with return type BOOL, then calling the function from an element in its State variables/Invisible property.
Great!
However, the created program does not have access to the internal variables of the visualization. Is there a way to access them?
Thanks in any case, this should help me out.
