Show Another Display in a Full-Size Window

You can use a script to set a pick action to show another display in a full-size window (as opposed to an inset window). For example, you can create a script that causes a web page to be displayed. The web page is displayed when a Mimic item is selected.

The script for a new window is App.OpenWindow, for example:

Public Function GoWebPage

App.OpenWindow "http://www.schneider-electric.com"

End Function

OpenWindow has to be followed by the address of the display. The address can be a URL or a Geo SCADA Expert display. The address for Geo SCADA Expert displays has to use the format:

SCX:///LOCAL/<Database Class>/<path>

An easy way to find the address for a Geo SCADA Expert display is to access the display, then add it to your favorites. If you display the Favorites Bar, you can right-click on the display link and select the Properties option to display the Properties window. You can then copy the address from the Properties window and paste it into your script.

If there are double-quotes in the address or URL, you need to enter additional double-quotes around them in the script. For example, if the address is for an Alarms List with filtering, the address could be:

App.OpenWindow "SCX:///LOCAL/AlarmList/Area = "Filter1"

In the script, this would need to be defined as:

App.OpenWindow "SCX:///LOCAL/AlarmList/Area = ""Filter1"""
