You can animate an object so that when it is selected, it writes a value to the registry. Common uses for this type of animation include applying different filters to embedded lists when an object is selected, and displaying different layers when an object is selected.
When animating an object to write a value to the registry, you need to:
- Set the PickType to 8 (for Registry)
- Use the PickParam expression to define the values that are to be written to the registry.
For information on animations that use the registry pick action, see Local Variables (Registry Key Settings).
From Geo SCADA Expert 2019 onwards:
- The location from which the REGISTRY function retrieves a value varies, depending on the type of client from which the function is triggered and the user that is logged onto that client. With ViewX and Virtual ViewX clients, the value is now stored in the registry of the User Account database item that is associated with the logged on user.
- You cannot use the REGISTRY function if you are accessing the database as the Guest User or Super User. You can only use the function if you are logged on via a Geo SCADA Expert User Account.
For more information, see REGISTRY.
