Hello Christin,
You cannot use a reference to a PennController element inside a getX
command, because the execution of (plain) JavaScript is immediate, but that of PennController commands is delayed
What you can do is use a Function element in which you manipulate the PennController elements by accessing their methods and attributes:
getButton("B1") .callback( newFunction( ()=>{ try { getCanvas( getVar("canvasnr")._element.value ).visible()._runPromises(); } catch (e) { } }).call() )
