Hopefully I can explain the problem well enough for someone to help me....
So here is the issue. I have a type def that is used in a few places in my app. The type def is a text ring which needs to be loaded at runtime. All the elements for the text ring come from reading a text file that holds the names of the devices I am trying to control. This file gets edited from time to time. Things are added and deleted so that is why I want this type def to change based on what is in the file. As it stands right now, it works fine in edit/debug mode. Once I compile it, it does work anymore. The only elements that show up are the default items but nothing from the list.
So what is the deal here? I have read the documentation it looks to me that it should work.
Any help on whether or not this can be done would be much appreciated.
