BUG with function and layout?

Why does the call to a function disappear when going to another layout?

The actions of the function after changing layout will not be executed. If you assign a value to a global variable, the value will not be assigned.

Both layouts are assigned the same eventsheet

In this code, the text of layout number 2 is not destroyed.

Why does the call to a function disappear when going to another layout?

The actions of the function after changing layout will not be executed. If you assign a value to a global variable, the value will not be assigned.

You are using "Wait" after you change layouts which will not work because the layout change it will happen on the same thick, not 2 secs after, that's why the variable doesn't get updated.

If you need two wait 2 secs then you can make the action for the layout change at the end of the Actions so it runs last.

Or just remove the wait.

In this code, the text of layout number 2 is not destroyed.

You cannot modify anything from a different layout, any events that are running applies just to the current layout.

So on the second layout the function it will not get called as you have a condition that checks only if the layout it's equal to layout 1

I already explained in my first post:

So on the second layout the function it will not get called as you have a condition that checks only if the layout it's equal to layout 1

Meaning on layout 2 at start of layout event, it checks only if (Layout Name = Layout 1) to call the Function, therefore the function it will not get called as you are on "Layout 2" so the condition it's false

Also, you cannot call the function on layout 1 to be executed on layout 2, construct runs layout by layout so when you switch layouts al the current events running they will stop, on layout 2 it will load again the event sheet that is linked to the new Layout which on this case is the same event "sheet 1" so all the events starts from the beginning

I hope I explained properly if not just tell me whats the part you don't get and I will try to explain it differently
