Hi,

I have a table, which has scripting associated with it, in the mouse click event. Is it possible to call that table’s mouse click event from another component, in ignition?

Something like execEvent(“click”). Please help me.

Thanks.

I suggest that you make a custom method on the table. Then in the mouse click event and in any other component event just call the custom method on the table.

Here is a video about custom methods: [inductiveuniversity.com/video/c … om-methods](https://inductiveuniversity.com/video/component-custom-methods)

You can also find out about custom methods in the Ignition User Manual.

Best,
