Add confirmation message with Toggle Switch

[Transistor]

There is a problem with your approach. The Toggle Switch will turn on before the onActionPerformed event occurs.

If you want to do this, I suggest:

• Create a Confirm / Cancel dialog view that can be used anywhere in your program.
• Give it parameters. For example,
  • Title (for optional titlebar on popup).
  • User prompt. e.g. "Confirm switch on MANUAL mode?"
  • Message handler name. You are going to need to to add a message handler to the MANUAL toggle switch to respond to the sendMessage passed back from the popup.
• On the Confirm button, right-click, Configure Events.
  
  

Script

def runAction(self, event):
	msg = self.view.params.messageName
	system.perspective.sendMessage(msg, {'confirm': True}, scope = 'page')

• Do the same on the Cancel button but set {'confirm': False}.
  That should be all you need to do on the popup.

On the toggle switch:

• Add a custom property confirmedSelected. Set it to false for now. This is the value your application will actually use - not the props.selected value which will change state before you have confirmed it.
• On the toggle switch, right-click, Configure Scripts.
  
  

Script

def onMessageReceived(self, payload):
	if payload['confirm']:
		self.custom.confirmedSelected = True
	else:
		self.custom.confirmedSelected = False
		self.props.selected = False

• system.perspective.sendMessage | Ignition User Manual
• Component Message Handlers | Ignition User Manual (Read the docs and watch the video.)

Remember, the MANUAL mode tag will be contolled by a binding to custom.confirmedSelected (and not props.selected).

Thanks for highligting the subject missing info.

Add the tag from the dropdown. (Don't type it out in the title. I fixed it.)
