void Stop()?

[TricksterSam]

Can you use void Stop() in an app? I don't think I've seen any HEM apps that do.

[TricksterSam]

I don't see it in the typedef struct, so I'm assuming "no". Is there another way to achieve something similar?

Is this a C++ 101 thread? 😜
Or are you looking for an existing Stop() function for something?

You're free to define (or override) pretty much any function you want in an applet class, or anywhere else. Just make stuff up! Trial & Error is a great strategy: make a modification, try to compile. If it fails, deciphering the errors is where I learn valuable lessons.

I've thought about making a video tutorial about how to write applets for O_C... tips and tricks, etc.

Ah ok, you're trying to share state between applets. This is where you want to do something similar to the HSProbLoopLinker - the best way to know if an applet is still loaded is to have it "register" itself every time Controller() is called, and have a function to check whether the registration tick is recent enough. There aren't really any existing mechanisms that are triggered when "closing" or switching away from an applet...

Thanks. I had been looking at HSRingBuffer because I knew ASR used it and that app links. ProbabilityDivider looks more straight forward.

[djphazer]

Yep, same concept. The Lorenz generator manager also works the same way.

Thank you for your time!

Finally, got it working right. Thank you. Now to deleting a bunch of commented code.
