Hi! 

Is it possible to create additional events for a faceplate?

I only have <OnActivated> and <OnDeactivated> and I would like to get an event if f.e. somebody is clicking on the faceplate.

Greetings!

Split from WinCC Unified – TIP’s for Faceplate.

I also looked a lot for this feature.

Ended up putting a button with zero opacity over the faceplate instance.

Yea I ended up at this point to. Which isn't a state I would like to use...

For some applications I'm using SVGs or dynamic Widgets to achieve my goal.

These are at least clickable.

At my plant I use symbols for different elements (f.e. a pump), which can be colored depending on it's state.

Because of many different plants and many pumps each I don't want to draw them every time and use a faceplate instead.

Well we do the same, like you I also have an hidden button the difference comes that mine is inside the Icon FP. and the only reason I have the hidden button is because the icon is so small.

I then pass all I need know through the interface, which if wanted can be changed from within the RunTime.

Following wil follow a few pictures with en example of an motor started with a frequenzyconverter.

the button has opacity 0.3 just so I can see it while placing, ones the FP is loaded it changes it to 0.

(Property interface)

Script to open my detailed view of said motor.

Interface from outside the FP.

let i = Faceplate.Properties.Index;
let Type = Faceplate.Properties.PopUpType;
let Title = Faceplate.Properties.PopUpTitle;
let left = Faceplate.Properties.Left;
let top = Faceplate.Properties.Top;

if (faceplate[i]){
faceplate[i].Close();
}

faceplate[i] = Faceplate.OpenFaceplateInPopup(Type, Title, true, false);
faceplate[i].WindowFlags = 91;
faceplate[i].Left = left;
faceplate[i].Top = top;
faceplate[i].Adaption = 2;

The code if you wanted to copy it.

P.S. the index is both used so I can only have one instance of the PopUp open at a time and I can decide to have only have one PopUp for all motors/valves or have them open seperatly so I can se detailed view of more then one motor/valve at the same time.

Does anyone know if this has been improved in V18?  

I am also struggling with this. 

In the Comfort Panel I could get the Press and Release Events of a Hidden button to show as an event of my Faceplate.  I could then assign the Press or Release Events to whatever was needed in the project.  Assigning values, starting pop-ups etc.  

I am not seeing any clear way to get this functionality in Unified Comfort

Hey,

something new here? Is it possible to add the press event of a button to the faceplate?
