Wonderware InTouch offered “CONDITION” scripts. Each CONDITION script had 4 components: 1. On True - a one shot on a false to true transition 2. On False - a one shot on a true to false transition 3. While True - a script that ran at a specified interval while a condition was true 4. While False - a script that ran at a specified interval while a condition was false These were used extensively in most projects. Your feedback would be appreciated on the possibility of implementing a feature similiar to this. Keep up the outstanding work guys!!! ---

I like this idea… I suppose this could be implemented as options on the “tag change scripts” that currently exist for both the gateway and clients. Regards, ---

I forgot to mention that the above scripts were based on an expression, not just a single tag. Keep up the good work guys!!! ---

For what it’s worth, you could (kind of) work something up like this right now- create an expression tag, and then use a tag change script. If the first thing you do is check that the value is true or false, you can determine your rising or falling edge, more or less. I say “kind of” and “more or less”, because there are other things like changing qualities that might trigger these events. This feature would do a bit more work to make sure it was triggering only at the correct time. Still, with a little bit of ingenuity in either your expression or script, you might be able to get really close. Regards, ---

This is a good idea. The while true / while false scripts would be easy to write using a timer script, but the on true / on false scripts might be tricky to get correct right now, as transitions may be cumbersome to detect reliably. I’ve added this to the feature request system. ---

Another thing that wonderware offers is scripts based on a window opening, closing, and periodic scripts based on the window being open. Is there any way to fire a script when a window opens or closes? ---

Yes, windows have an activated, closed, closing, deactivated and opened event handlers that you can respond to. ---

Travis, Thats good to know! Can you point me to the best way to make use of these events? ---

Sure, take a look at this following page in the user manual [http://www.inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/event\_types.htm](http://www.inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/event_types.htm). Basically, you just select the window in the project browser you want to add the script to and press Ctrl-J which brings up the event handlers window. There you can select one of the internalFrame events to write a script for. Hope this helps. I can help more if I had an idea of what you are trying to accomplish. ---

This was very very very useful in wonderware. ---

Travis - Wow! I just saw your reply and checked it out. My question was more academic than immediate need. Now I have to ask, and as we are in the wish list area, why Ctrl-J? Why not have it show up with a right click like other components? I would have stumbled on this long ago if it had been a right click. Thanks for pointing me to it! ---

Hi Russell, You can also get to the window event handlers by right clicking on the titlebar of that window while it’s open in the designer. Dan ---

Yeah I went to talk with someone else here about accessing the events and by doing that saw all the many and wonderful ways to access the window events. I had my right-click blinders on and did not even think to look at one of the other ways to access the events. I still think it would be worth adding to the right click menu.
