TCPmaker : Visual Tour    How Variables and Controls Work Together  

When you click or drag a TCPmaker control on the browser screen, data will usually be sent between the PC and the micro.  Exactly what happens depends on the specific control.

Some controls are meant to send data from the PC to your device.

For instance, if you press down on a simple rectangular Pushbutton control, then a message containing integer data will be sent from the PC to your device to indicate that the pushbutton is now "down."

When you release the mouse button over that same PushButton control, then another message gets sent from the PC to your device, to indicate that the pushbutton is now "up" again.
