Universal / pre-made / generic popup like motor

[Fou]

It would be great to have a project that already includes a large set of pre-made popups, such as digital, analog, motor, valve, or PID popups.

Has anyone seen something like that?

In the new Mimic editor, there is such a thing as Faceplate. But that’s exactly what requires some intervention from the developer so that you can make these faceplates so that others can use them. So far, the main problem in them, as it seems to me, is channel binding, since different people can call the same things in different languages (for example, the tag code).
Well, there’s also a whole list 🙂

Hi,
You could download the Image pack from the website. Then use the images in the mimic components.

@Mikhail
can you share the link for css documentation ?
You say it was inspired by that document. I want to create typical popup and i will be happy to share with all the people after.

Probably, you mean this document. It is not translated. Of course, we will prepare docs for mimics later.

Also useful:

If you tell me more about what you plan to implement, I will try to guide you.

I have a main (welcome) screen with a generic motor faceplate used for all motors. Three channels are passed to the faceplate to display different states (Run, Stop, Alarm), and this works correctly.
Each motor faceplate includes a button that opens a motor control popup (Start/Stop commands, status, etc.).
How can I pass a text value and a channel reference to the popup when it is opened from the faceplate button?

A popup is a separate view that has its own view ID. There is an old good mechanism named scheme templates that is also supported by mimics. It allows to use only one MotorPopup.mim file for similar popups.
Example of the view arguments in the Views table: cnlOffset=200&titleCompID=4

I suppose, you should add an export property to the faceplate to be able to set the view ID. By clicking the button the action script is executed to open a popup having the specified view ID.

[Fou]

can we add arguments by scripting to an link something like :
mimic/mimic/9?bindingFileName=Bindings\Motor2.stb
and “motor2” it’s a text value?

[Fou]

or change the View id in the link of the button?
like the propeties Button.link.viewId =8 or 9

8 Popup\FVNR.mim bindingFileName=Bindings\Motor2.stb
9 Popup\FVNR.mim bindingFileName=Bindings\Motor2.stb

[Mikhail]

All the above ideas can work.
A popup can be opened by an action script, or by changing a link URL.
