variant to data boolean

[oldpan]

Hello everybody,

I want to convert a variant data  into boolean. I use the Variant to Data control, but in order to extract the boolean data, I assume, I need to provide it with the type of the data I want this conversion to be performed (boolean, that is). There 's a terminal to do so, but I don;t know whether I should use a constant (what's the numerical constant for the boolean type) or what sort of boolean constant I should link the terminal with? Shortly, I don't know what I should link it with.
THere's an enclosed picture coming with the post.
Thank you,
Dana

Wire a True constant or a False constant (Functions palette >> Boolean). This constant is only used to set the expected data type but its value is meaningless.

Hi JB,

I tried so, and doesn't work.
In essence, I have 12 cases frames, and I want them linked to the same Stop button.
I have the code attached,
Thanks for the idea.

Hi Dana,

you too create new threads when not needed. Please stick with your original one...

What's the mechanical mode of your stop button?

Yes, let's limit our answers to the original post.

Not the winner.  16 years and 5 months is the largest I've seen.

Move common things (check button loop, writing into message) out of the case. In this particular case leave only message selection there. 

Add 100 ms wait to the loop not to kill CPU.

Learn what is data flow. Apply good patterns to reduce block diagram size to screen.

Damn, I am grave digging, sorry.

Nice... 

I'll check the dates next time. 

It's fun being made fun of for being polite though.
