[I have attached 2 photos to illustrate the questions better:

1. I am curious as to what the object name format is when trying to access the properties of RECT in Panel P1 in Module B with setValue or getValue

setValue example:

Code: Select all

setValue("ModuleNamePanel.RECT ???","visible","true);

2. I am curious how RECTANGLE in Panel P1 in Module B gets the naming format of the graphic object in getShapes or getShape

getShapes example:

Code: Select all

dyn_string shTemp;
shTemp = getShapes("ModuleName","PanelName","ShapeType","RECTANGLE");

SEE IMAGE 2
3. I am curious about the naming format of the graphic object when attempting to change the attributes of the RECT in PANEL A of Module C with setValue or getValue

setValue example:

Code: Select all

setValue("ModuleNamePanel.RECT ???","visible","true);

4. I am curious about how RECTANGLE in Module C's PANEL A gets the naming format of the graphic object in getShapes or getShape

getShapes example:

Code: Select all

dyn_string shTemp;
shTemp = getShapes("ModuleName","PanelName","ShapeType","RECTANGLE");

If you want to access a shape in a different module the syntax is
setValue("ModuleName.PanelName:ObjectName", ....);

As written in my answer the syntax is setValue("ModuleName.PanelName:ObjectName", ....);
A panel is only loaded in one specific module. Cascaded embedded modules must not be taken into account.
