Hi All,

This is an old post but thought I would put this up to correct a couple of typos in the code for anyone copying. Thanks to Simon for the original.

The example below is enhanced to use the unique button name to save the assigned popup instance name in the global map variable FaceplateInstanceName. This allows multiple popups but only one popup from each button.

Is anyone is using an alternative method to restrict the number of popups? Not sure why the OpenFaceplateInPopup method does not have the toggleOpen parameter provided with OpenScreenInPopup? I look forward to further posts from Denilson on V20 features!

Faceplate pop up formatiing and Windows Flags

Hi,

The Faceplate Pop up formatting could be configured by Windows flags parameter.

This could be used, for example, to hide the close button on the title bar.

HMIWindowsFlag parameter is a byte where each bit has a meaning:

None (0): Use default setting of the object
ShowCaption (1 = bit 0): Show title
ShowBorder (2 = bit 1): Show border
AlwaysOnTop (4 = bit 2): Always on top
CanSize (8 = bit 3): Can be sized
CanMove (16 = bit 4): Can be positioned
CanMaximize (32 = bit 5): Can be maximized
CanClose (64 = bit 6): Can be closed
AlwaysInParent (128 = bit 7): The window cannot be moved from the parent window (monitor, faceplate, etc.).

TIP: you can use also system constants to do it and "|" to add different features.

The system constants are:

• AlwaysInParent
• AlwasOnTop
• CanClose
• CanMaximize
• CanMove
• CanSize
• None
• Showborder
• ShowCaption

Here there is an example of system constant use:

 

po.WindowsFlags = UI.Enums.HmiWindowsFlag.CanClose | UI.Enums.HmiWindowsFlag.CanSize

 

In this simple sample, the Windows Flag could be didactically set in the main windows and due internal tags passed to the faceplate / faceplate pop up.

Thanks to Ricardo Ferreira for the tip.

Hello,

I tried this for Faceplate.OpenFaceplateInPopup:

export function EA_Feld_1_OnTapped(item, x, y, modifiers, trigger) {

let po = Faceplate.OpenFaceplateInPopup("PID_Compact_fp_V_3_1_5", "PID_Compact");
po.Left = Faceplate.Parent.Left;
po.Top = Faceplate.Parent.Top;
po.WindowsFlags = 4;
po.Visible = true;

}

but then I noticed, that "WindowsFlags" is actually "WindowFlags". So this worked for me:

export function EA_Feld_1_OnTapped(item, x, y, modifiers, trigger) {

let po = Faceplate.OpenFaceplateInPopup("PID_Compact_fp_V_3_1_5", "PID_Compact");
po.Left = Faceplate.Parent.Left;
po.Top = Faceplate.Parent.Top;
po.WindowFlags = 4;
po.Visible = true;

}

Could you please make a statement to this isue respectively correct it, because I was confused (And maybe still am). Someone might be confused too
