I’m trying to pass parameters a project in applet mode, I’m using the code of a previuos posts:

from javax.swing import JApplet  
from javax.swing import SwingUtilities  
applet = SwingUtilities.getAncestorOfClass(JApplet, event.source)  
value=applet.getParameter(“paramName”)

and I get the instance of the applet without problems but when I try to get the parameter I have None.

I try to use the function applet.getParameterInfo() to check that I have parameters and I’m getting None too.

I’m using Ignition version 7.6.4.

Any suggestions?

Hello @NestorRodriguez,

I have the same problem as you. I’ve gone through many related threads and the conclusion seemed to be these 4 lines.  
Not sure if you had given up or somehow figured out how to make this work.

Thank you in advance
