Hello,

how can I use this parameter of the OpenScreenInPopup function:

As reference the link to the manual: OpenScreenInPopup

I like to open all the popups only in one screen window and whenever this one is closed, all the open popups should also be closed.

Thanks

 Hi,

tx1288

how can I use this parameter of the OpenScreenInPopup function:

parentScreenPath (optional)

HMIScreen (string)

Path of the parent HMI screen. If this value remains empty, the popup window is global.

 

The syntax of the screenPath can be found here: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/mdm/109773780?c=112604171019&lc=en-WW

An improved description can be found in chapter 5.4 of "109758536_Unified_TipsScripting_V30_en.pdf" available here: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109758536.

You have to use an absolute path because the Systemfunctions are missing an object context, therefore you should use a path startting with "~/". For example "~/MyScreenWindow2" would be used when the parent screen is loaded in a screen window named "MyScreenWindow2" within the base screen.

You could also use the Property "Path" of a ScreenWindow as ParentScreenPath. I think this might be only possible from a script function and not from a function list.

By the way the function for opening a Faceplate in a Popup can be found here:

Hello Michael,

thank you very much for your answer.

But even with the absolute Path, or the Path variable from "Screen.Parent.Path" I'm not able to open a normal screen as pop up.

There is no message in the traceview, it just happens nothing.

And as I see now, it is really important to close all popup screens before performing a screen change, because the MTP1500 runtime crashs if there is still one open.

Runtime simulation is working without crash, but keeps the popups open.

Thanks, Andreas

I didn't know that it crashes when not closing popups. I've just tested it and it crashes.

Another disappointment from Siemens & Unified.

the problem, this is a sporadic issue.

For my system sometimes it works, somtimes not. Acually the Siemens support team couldn't reproduce this error.

But at least, I'm not the only one with that error.

In V19 upd2 both absolute and relative paths work. The parrentScreen can be either assigned by:

- properity of object you call your script from:

item.Parent //opens the popup in the same screen where the object opening the popup is

 - absolute address:

'~/ScreenWindow_1/Screen' //opens the popup in ScreenWindow_1

 - relative address:

'../Screen' //opens the popup in Screen window one level higher than the object running the script is in

Notice the Screen in both addresses, which are not names of actual screens loaded in screen windows but rather what I assume the properities of said screen windows storing the name of loaded screens.
