Hi

Im new to Ignition so got a question. Is is possible to pass a parameter to a popup window , when clicking on a template repeater with a number of instances ? .

Obviously I can do this when you have a number of different instances on a screen, but clicking on a repeater Im assuming there is no way to determine which instances you clicked on .

Regards

Chris Wray

You won't be able to capture the events on the Template Repeater to know which instance you clicked but you can certainly achieve this other ways. For one, you could use a button inside the templates to open your popup and pass parameters accordingly.

Create an event script (on mouse click) on the template to open and pass parameter to a popup when each template is clicked.

just to let you know actually you can capture events on a template repeater. you just as normal pass a parameter to your pop up on the template. The template repeater will know which instance it is.
