Our site has used custom faceplates for nearly all common modules for 15 years & migrated them all from Fix32 to iFix, etc. Today I am attempting to add an "Alarm Summary" object like the one on the factory (frs) faceplates and I can't figure out how to get it to behave the way (I think) it does on the standard one. It could be some secret stealth bit of code I'm missing in the "initialize" or "activate" section of the script . . .
What I want is for the faceplate's alarm summary to only load active alarms for the specific module associated with the faceplate. There's a tab on the "properties" dialog box where one selects an option (I don't recall the exact wording) like "present context only" which one would think would do the trick. But instead I'm getting the entire alarm summary for all the areas associated with the station.
I've checked my configured properties versus the factory faceplate and even copied the frs faceplate alarm summary over to the custom faceplate, to no avail. Am I correct to expect I can filter only the alarms from the module in question on the faceplate's "mini" alarm summary? Can anyone help me with what I'm missing here?
Thanks, John
