The Mimic.OpenInset function allows the script to open a defined display in a new window. The new window is set to be a specific size.
| Syntax |
Mimic.OpenInset(URL, X, Y, W, H) |
| Description |
Opens a defined display in a new window. |
| Arguments |
URL {string} The address of the display that is to be opened. The URL has to use the Geo SCADA Expert address format. X {integer} Represents the horizontal position of the new window—the position on the 'X-Axis' at which the window begins. The number represents a percentage of the original Mimic's X coordinate. Y {integer} Represents the vertical position of the new window—the position on the 'Y-Axis' at which the window begins. The number represents a percentage of the original Mimic's Y coordinate. Width {integer} Defines the width of the new window. The number represents a percentage of the original Mimic's width. Height {integer} Defines the height of the new window.The number represents a percentage of the original Mimic's height. |
Example:
Mimic.OpenInset "SCX:////CMimic/OverView", 20, 20, 20, 20
When the Mimic object that is associated with this script is selected, a new window will be displayed. The window will be inset at coordinates 20, 20. The coordinates are calculated as a percentage of the original Mimic's coordinates, with the top-left corner of the original Mimic being 0,0. So an X coordinate of 20 will be the original Mimic's X coordinate + 20% i.e indented from the left of the original Mimic by 20%. The Y coordinate will be the original Mimic's Y coordinate -20% i.e lower than the original Mimic by 20%.
The height and width will be 20% of the height and width of the original Mimic.
The original Mimic is the Mimic that contains the script.
