Perspective Table - Expand Subview function

Ignition
1

I know there are onSubviewExpand and onSubviewCollapse events built into the Table component, but is there a function I could use in an onRowClick event script to expand and collapse a subview?

I am trying to make it so that clicking anywhere on a row will open the subview to that row.

Thank you.

I am also trying to achieve same functionality. For most of the use cases it would be best to open subview by clicking the row no matter where to click

Do you have an image of the functionality in case I don't understand?
I saw it is listed as planned I think.

Do you mean like the context menus that are new?

I don't have 8.1.25, haven't tried them myself.

I am passing parameters and navigating to a page when I click a row sometimes.
I would benefit from faster ways to show table construction information.
I would benefit from faster ways to show subset views based on row data.

I am not sure if the tools exist already and I don't know about some good capabilities already possible.

The functionality I was after was being able to click anywhere in a table row and have that call a function to expand the row's subview... There is no way to do this programmatically, you just have to click on the arrow to open the row subview

I was able to place this as part of the onRowClick Event of the Table:

def runAction(self, event):
	self.expandSubviews([event.rowIndex])

it resulted in the Table expanding the subview for whichever row I clicked.

Can you show me an example of unexpanded and expanded?

I thought it would require an event script to hide/unhide something, and setting row information to a custom property.

Didn't know about the function. I will try to try it.

I am missing something. When I click on my rows, nothing happens.

I found an example. Displaying a Subview in a Table Row - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation]

I believe you should have used event.row instead of rowIndex here.

Your script will break if the table is filtered.
