Facility Control

I need to be able to change a parameter's constraints based on a selection made in the panel. For example, I need a parameter to have the following options based on a toggle selection.

0 = DAK Constraints need to be 0, 7 and 10
1 = DASH Constraints need to be 0, 1 and 2

0 can technically be influenced by a secondary data selection too, but I'll start small.

Thanks!

This is a simple panel that replaces a parameter's constraint.It contains all of the basic pieces you would need to do what you're talking about.

Check it out and let me know if you have any additional questions.

Cheers!

James

#DashBoard

I copied your code above and was able to get it to run. I tired to duplicate by hand what you did and failed miserably. At any rate, I don't know what I'm supposed to be linking to on the XPression side. I need it to send out a singular value - in my case it's 0,1 or 2 (option1) or 0,7 or 10 (option2). In my case the labels can be the same, but the data they associate with is different.
#DashBoard

Admittedly, the previous example doesn't solve quite what you're trying to do (it shows how to create a button array with different labels for each element). What you're talking about would be changing the choices for a single parameter.

I've adapted the example to do just that. Let's see if this gets us a little closer:

<abs contexttype="opengear" style="">

      <params>
         <param access="1" constrainttype="INT_CHOICE" name="Test  Toggling" oid="params.testtoggle" precision="0" type="INT16" value="10" widget="radio-toggle">
            <constraint key="0">Choice 0</constraint>
            <constraint key="1">Choice 1</constraint>
            <constraint key="2">Choice 2</constraint>
         </param>
         <param access="1" constrainttype="INT_CHOICE" name="Constriant Toggle" oid="Constriant_Toggle" precision="0" type="INT32" value="0" widget="radio-toggle">
            <constraint key="0">Constraint 1</constraint>
            <constraint key="1">Constraint 2</constraint>
         </param>
      </params>
   </meta>
   <simplegrid height="160" left="16" top="14" width="593">

   </simplegrid>
   <param expand="true" height="90" left="20" oid="Constriant_Toggle" style="style:toggleButton;" top="199" width="583">
      <task tasktype="ogscript">// creating an array to hold the constraint values 
var cArray = new Array();
//obtaining the value of the ConstraintToggle parameter to decide which constraint list should be pushed into the arrray
if (this.getValue() == 0)
{
   // Placing the values into the array if the ConstraintToggle parameter is equal to 0
   // each value has two keys assigned to it because when the array is converted into a choice constraint option the key's determine which option has been selected by spewing out the value 1
   cArray.push({key:0,value:'Choice 0'});
   cArray.push({key:1,value:'Choice 1'});
   cArray.push({key:2,value:'Choice 2'});
}
else
{
    // Placing the values into the array if the ConstraintToggle parameter is equal to 1
    // each value has two keys assigned to it because when the array is converted into a choice constraint option the key's determine which option has been selected by spewing out the value 1
   cArray.push({key:0,value:'Other 0'});
   cArray.push({key:71,value:'Other 7'});
   cArray.push({key:10,value:'Other 10'});
}

// using the params.createIntChoiceConstraint function to convert the values in the array a choice constraint option
var choiceConstraint = params.createIntChoiceConstraint(cArray);
// the params.replaceConstraint function replaces the current choice constraint on the ConstraintParameter with the choiceConstraint variable.
params.replaceConstraint('params.testtoggle', choiceConstraint);</task>
   </param>

#DashBoard

I managed to get it to work after all. I think I was thrown off by the data being ordered by the OID and not the name I gave the parameter.
Thanks for the help!
