Facility Control

Hi,

I'm creating a Custom Panel in Dashboard to act as a Multiviewer Routing Page.

Ideally what I'd like to do for Source Selection is to mimic the way the Group Category Soft Panel behaves. Dragging across elements from a Group Category Soft Panel doesn't seem to work.

Any one know of an easy way to get this going?

I have a bit of code I found on these boards that pull the Source/Dest Vales from an Ultrix and adds them to a choice constraint so I can present them as buttons. This works well as an X-Y solution but I'd like to get this going through Group Categories.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Chris,

I'm not an Ultrix expert, so I don't have the whole answer for you, but perhaps I can point you in the right direction. 

Wat you can do is look at how the panel you like implemented it.   

If you go to the "Group Category Soft Panel" you mention and go into "PanelBuilder Edit Mode", you can <Shift> + Double Click on an element.   It will show you the underlying source that is used for that element.

Something like this:

If you click the "Go Up" button a few times, you can actually go all the way to the top of the panel, and see the underlying source for the whole panel.   

From that, you can probably reverse engineer how that panel is doing what you want, and mimic that in your panel.  So if you shift-double click on a button, andyou see it's calling a function like OnClickGroup, you can then go up, and find the function "OnClickGroup" to see what it does.

Hopefully that helps.

Hi Ben,

Thank you very much, it has indeed.

Ultimately, I'm trying to achieve something like this:

The 4 Boxes will be MV destinations and clicking on them will select that Destination, then select Source and press Take.

I can make this work if manually add toggle button and reveal/hide panes but this way would be far easier once set up.

I'm struggling currently with associating the PIP Dests with the sources from the Category selection.

Cheers,

Chris
