Take data from one screen to another

[BADA]

Hello everyone, I hope you can help me!!!

I'm at the beginning of programming in C++, and I'm having difficulty taking a variable from my main.c file to my screen created in touch gfx.

This error appears, where it apparently does not find the variable declaration.

I followed what the course instructor said, but apparently it doesn't work.

I am not sure the value "dado" is in other .c file (ex : in main.c)

If yes, you can try modify line 18 to "extern int dado;"

Hello @BADA 

Next time, please paste your code using </> button instead sharing screenshots. Please refer to our recommendation here on how to post a thread in this community.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi, I removed the "C" and recompiled, but the same error appeared, I'm trying to backend an analog reading in main.c to the screen, I'm going to send the more simplified file of the project.

Looks like you're trying to take a short cut and not using MVP approach.

See this video tutorial on how to pass a variable, in this case an ADC value, from main to the Presenter

I can build your project in STM32CubeIDE 1.16.0 with touchGFX 4.24.0. Did you try to reinstall them ?

Hello @BADA  and welcome to the community! :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

As other said, you can properly format your code (and log text) by using the </> button :

Regarding your question, since you created your variable from a TouchGFX file, you should include this file in your main.c.

Other than that, it is recommended to use the MVP design pattern to send or receive data from to GUI (TouchGFX) to the rest of the application (main.c and others). You can read more here : model-view-presenter-design-pattern 
Here is a video tutorial to send data from a screen to the main.c : Touch GFX #8. Send Data from UI to MCU || UART 

I hope this helps.
Once you solve your problem, I invite you to select the most helpful comment as "best answer".

Really, I was doing the wrong process, thank you for the help and reference!!
