Hi all,

after referring to this below link
http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/iterating-through-components-on-a-screen-through-scripting/16335

I got to know that we can iterate trough all component from a root container.

what i would like to have it to iterate all checkbox and make them visible and invisible based on condition.

componentList = []
window = system.gui.getWindow('Auswertung/Recht')
container = window.getRootContainer()

for component in container.components:
		# If the type of the Root Container and Component match, 
		# we're currently iterating over a container
	if type(component) == type(container):
		print "A container: %s" % component.name
		# Otherwise, it's something else. 
	else:
		print "Not a container: %s" % component.name

I have tried the following way

window = system.gui.getWindow('Mag Sch Auswertung/Mag_VWA_Re')
container = window.getRootContainer()

for component in container.components:
		# If the type of the Root Container and Component match, 
		# we're currently iterating over a container
	#print type(component)
	if 'PMICheckBox' in str(type(component)):
		print component.name

if anyone has a better suggestion pls let me know.

If you’re doing this as event processing in the same window, consider:

root = system.gui.getParentWindow(event).rootContainer

Since you’ll 90% of the time need recursive processing, the final would look more like:

root = system.gui.getParentWindow(event).rootContainer
def checkChecks(container):
  for component in container:
    if type(component) == type(container):
      checkChecks(component)
    elseif str(type(component)) == 'PMICheckBox':
      print "Checkbox: " + container.name + '/' + component.name
      # you could probably also use isinstance(component,com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.application.components.PMICheckBox) somehow
checkChecks(root)
