Custom Templates

[mhargreaves]

I have created a custom template layout for our system. It is based on TEMPLATE1 and consists of a naviModule, mainModule and infoModule.

I have changed the naviPanel to contain our custom buttons - what control function do I need to call when clicking on the button to load a particular panel into the mainModule area?

If you want to load a panel for a specific module you can use the CTRL function RootPanelOnModule().
For the panel topology there are references available which can be used for the Panel-Topology, e.g. panels/objects/STD_PANELS/PT_sum2.pnl

I've tried the RootPanelOnModule but it doesn't work for me- I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

When I use the PT_sum2.pnl object, the panel appears in a new module rather than the embedded module from the template.

You a probably using different module names and therefore a new module is opened when using the standard object.
With the function getVisionNames() you can get all Vision module names which are currently opened.

Thank you - that helped me solve it.

The module was actually being referenced as mainModule_1 instead of mainModule
