I want to open a pop-up when I click on the United States row like picture "1". Is it possible?

If possible, please tell me how to do it.

You can use the onRowClick event handler to do this:

Thanks for letting me know. But when I click finland, another window should come out. What should I do in this case?

For example, when pressing United States, 'params = text' is entered and

What should I do to make it enter 'params = hello' when I press Finland?

```auto
country = event.value.country
system.perspective.openPopup(id='bob', view='test7', params={'TEXT': country})

```

If you really wanted "hello" if Finland, then:

```auto
country = event.value.country
if country == 'Finland':
	country = 'hello'

system.perspective.openPopup(id='bob', view='test7', params={'TEXT': country})

```

When I selected Finland, the pop-up worked fine.  
No pop-up window appeared when pressing Indonesia  
What should I do?

if `country != 'Finland'`, then `a` doesn't exist and the code is halting.

Try this instead:

```auto
country = event.value.country

if country == 'Finland':
	a = 'hello'
elif country == 'Indonesia':
	a = 'Indonesia'
else:
	a = 'something else'

system.perspective.openPopup....

```

ps. it's best to avoid calling the same function for different cases; it's better to call it once after setting up the variables passed as the args of the function inside the case (ifs) statements.

E.g. instead of:

```auto
if condition1:
   funcCall(1)
elif condition2:
   funcCall(2)
...

```

do this:

```auto
if condition1:
   index = 1
elif condition2:
   index = 2
else:
   index = -1

funcCall(index)

```

The code has to be structured in a way where all referenced variables have an assigned value.

**Example:**

```auto
#def runAction(self, event):
	country = event.value.country
	
	if country == 'Finland':
		a = 'hello'
	elif country == 'Indonesia':
		a = 'Indonesia'
	else:
		a = 'None'
	#system.perspective.openPopup(id...

```

Note how the variable is assigned a value no matter what country equals.
