Ignition Perspective Root Container Events

Ignition
1

I created a template device for an analog input in which if you click on it brings up a faceplate popup. The event is placed on the root container. In action though this doesn't work and I am not sure why. I have tried the following:

  • Using the OnClick Event
  • Using the OnSelect Event
  • Using different popup screens to ensure its not a faulty path.
  • moving the objects in the template in order to click on the root container itself.

Nothing seems to work. Maybe I am using the wrong action or just have some sort of misunderstanding of how this should work?

Have you tried it in the browser? Popups don't work in Designer as its "browser" is limited to the view you're working on.

Yeah you were right.
