DMC path control does not work during runtime?

[1984]

I have a DMC path control on my GUI. If I click the browse button during edit time I can browse for files. If I do the same during runtime nothing happens.

EDIT... duh... It was disabled, but not grayed. Negative kudos to me for spamming the forum.

No problem. While I don't even know what a "DMC path control" is but I assume it has nothing to do with file IO.

You solved it, but other user might stumble on this thread. So: On a related note, what we also sometimes see is users making something an indicator (instead of a control) and think it does not matter if later reading from a local variable of it. While indicators can be operated at edit time, they cannot be operated at run time. Same symptom, different cause. 😉

I think it is a path control from "DMC GUI Suite by DMC" - toolkit, see: https://www.vipm.io/package/dmc_lib_dmc_gui_palettes/

In the interest of categorising threads (solved vs. not solved), I marked this thread as having a solution. 1984's original post represents the solution, but the forum doesn't support marking the original post as the solution. So I marked UliB's reply as the next closest to a solution.
