I'd like to use onMouseclick function in a power table. The idea is when I click any cell in the power table the green circle in the image will appear. Please help me. Thank you!! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/2/8295c873221146744d65891b84cdf651a97f160b.png) ---

What is the green circle? Is it a container or some kind of docked window? ---

The propertyChange event handler would probably be more appropriate for this. The following script will do what you are wanting: ```auto if event.propertyName == 'selectedRow' or event.propertyName == 'selectedColumn': container = event.source.parent.getComponent('Container') #Change this to the actual path to your container selectedRow = event.source.selectedRow selectedColumn = event.source.selectedColumn if selectedRow == -1 and selectedColumn == -1: container.visible = False else: container.visible = True ``` It simply checks to see which row and column is selected whenever a selection changes. If none are selected, the container looses visibility, but if something is selected, the container regains visibility. ---

just to add the component in the picture can be drag. I just want if the component is hidden because i drag it to the right. when i click the power table cell it will return to its original position. sorry for the insufficient info. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/e/0e5735f7f58feeb9c1979b2c998b763455f5dbe3.png) ---

Is that a Perspective split container? Perhaps we are using the wrong terminology; a power table is a Vision component. ---

Okay. I believe that I am seeing what you have going on there. If you add the following script to your power table's propertyChange event handler, the side panel will automatically close whenever you select a cell: ```auto def closeSidePanel(): seperator = event.source.parent.parent.getComponent('Left Line') chartPanel = event.source.parent.parent.getComponent('Easy Chart') rightPanel = event.source.parent.parent.getComponent('Pens and Axis') totalMovement = rightPanel.width system.gui.transform(seperator, (seperator.x + totalMovement), seperator.y, duration = 10) system.gui.transform(chartPanel, chartPanel.x, chartPanel.y, (chartPanel.width + totalMovement), duration = 10) system.gui.transform(rightPanel, (rightPanel.x + totalMovement), rightPanel.y, (rightPanel.width - totalMovement), duration = 10) if event.propertyName == 'selectedRow' or event.propertyName == 'selectedColumn': selectedRow = event.source.selectedRow selectedColumn = event.source.selectedColumn if selectedRow != -1 or selectedColumn != -1: closeSidePanel() ``` **Edit:** to make this bidirectional, replace `totalMovement = rightPanel.width` with: ```auto #This will make it open or close depending on the position of the panel if rightPanel.width > 0: totalMovement = rightPanel.width else: quarterOfChartWidth = float(chartPanel.width) * 0.25 totalMovement = (-1) * int(quarterOfChartWidth) ```
