Panel loader¶

BrowseName: PanelLoader
SuperType: Container (Container)
TypeView path: Tipi > UI > Contenitori > Pannello dinamico

Container that displays different alternative panels at runtime according to the set logics.

Applications

Typically used to define a space in which to display various alternative panels, based on the set logic.

Configuring the object

Set the initial panel

In the Panel property, set a dynamic link to the panel to display.

Use the object at runtime

Change the panel to display

Invoke the Change panel method by a NetLogic, by another object (e.g. a button), or by an OPC UA client.

Note

at runtime, the object contains only the nodes of the set panel. When the panel changes, it deletes the nodes of the current panel and creates the nodes of the new panel. Also displays the Current panel variable, whose value is the NodeId of the panel node displayed.

Note

thanks to the Change panel method and the two Panel and Panel node alias properties, it is possible to change the panel without changing the alias or change both the panel and the alias.

Exit animation	ExitAnimation	PanelLoaderAnimationTypeEnum	Type of exit animation on the change of panel.
Visible	Visible	Boolean	Show/hide the window. (Inherited from Element)
Enabled	Enabled	Boolean	Enables/disables the interaction with the user (True = enabled; False = disabled). (Inherited from Element)
Opacity	Opacity	Float	Opacity level (0 = transparent) (Inherited from Element)
Left margin	LeftMargin	Size	(Only if Horizontal Alignment = Left or Center or Stretch) Distance between the left edge of the object and the left edge of its container. (Inherited from Element)
Top margin	TopMargin	Size	(Only if Vertical Alignment = Top or Center or Stretch) Distance between the top edge of the object and the top edge of its container. (Inherited from Element)
Right margin	RightMargin	Size	(Only if Horizontal Alignment = Right or Center or Stretch) Distance between the right edge of the object and the right edge of its container. (Inherited from Element)
Bottom margin	BottomMargin	Size	(Only if Vertical Alignment = Bottom or Center or Stretch) Distance between the bottom edge of the object and the bottom edge of its container. (Inherited from Element)
Width	Width	Size	Width of the window. It can assume values greater than or equal to zero. The Auto value sets the width equal to the width of the content (in this case, in the absence of content the object collapses). (Inherited from Element)

Horizontal alignment	HorizontalAlignment	HorizontalAlignment	Alignment of the object on the horizontal axis. Left = the left side is positioned on the left side of the container, except for the left margin; Right = the right side is positioned on the right side of the container, except for the right margin; Center = the center of the object is positioned in the center of the container, except for the left and/or right margins; Stretch = object width equals container width, except for the left and/or right margins. (Inherited from Element)
Vertical alignment	VerticalAlignment	VerticalAlignment	Alignment of the object on the vertical axis. Top = the top side is positioned on the top side of the container, except for the top margin; Bottom = the bottom side is positioned on the bottom side of the container, except for the bottom margin; Center = the center of the object is positioned in the center of the container, except for the top and/or bottom margins; Stretch = object height equals container height, except for the top and/or bottom margins. (Inherited from Element)
Rotation	Rotation	Size	Rotation of the object around its center point. Positive values indicate clockwise arc degrees. (Inherited from Element)
