Bas Posts: 5 Rating: (0)	I wan't to make a button (located on the "STANDARD" screen in a faceplate) which closes the faceplate on which this button is located. I've managed to make the button and the script, but the problem is: This script is working on the server but doesn't work on the clients how is this possible and what is the sollution to make this script working on the clients? Has this something to do with the server prefix or the @local:: indicator? Example of the script: PictureName=GetParentPicture(lpszPictureName); //Return-Type: char* SetPropBOOL("@1001","@TOP09","Visible",FALSE); SetPropChar("@1001",PictureName,"PictureName","");

That means you have to determine in which @TOPXX window your faceplate has been opened. You have to write code which parses the ParentPicture String for the @TOPXX name (e.g. from right side to first occurence of ":" and then to next ".") Then you can use this name to set this picture window invisible. These kind of script for setting picture windows invisible should work both on server and client without any difference. You should use a Global script diagnostics window or APDiag.exe to check if there are any scripting errors on the client. If it still does not work, please feel free to post your experience here, and I will have a try on this.

Bas Posts: 5 Rating: (0)	This is the solution after reading your answer, thanks it works! char* PictureName; char* MainPictureName; char* PictureWindowName; //Step 1 PictureName=GetParentPicture(lpszPictureName); //Step 2 MainPictureName=GetParentPicture(PictureName); //Step 3 MainPictureName=GetLocalPicture(MainPictureName); //result "@1001" //Step 4 PictureWindowName=GetParentPictureWindow(PictureName); //result"@TOPxx" //Step 4 SetPropBOOL(MainPictureName,PictureWindowName,"Visible",FALSE);

Bas Posts: 5 Rating: (0)	However the script works great at monitor 1, it doesn't work on monitor 2. How is this possible and what can i do about it? Can I use the SSMGetScreen function?
