Show/Hide content script functions

Note: The Show/Hide Content() script functions are for use with AVEVA OMI ViewApps only. These functions cannot be used with InTouch HMI applications.

The Show/Hide Content() script functions let you write scripts for AVEVA OMI layouts, Industrial Graphics, Application Server objects to display a graphic, layout, or external content item (for example, a web page, video, or text file) inside a specific pane within an AVEVA OMI ViewApp. The Show/Hide Content() script functions are complementary to the Show/Hide Graphic script functions and the Show/Hide Graphic animation feature.

• Use the Show/Hide Graphic script functions to load or hide a graphic in a modal or modeless popup, in an InTouch HMI application or an AVEVA OMI ViewApp.

• Use the Show/Hide Content script functions to load or hide a graphic, layout, or an external content item into a pane in an AVEVA OMI ViewApp. When a Layout linked to an asset is added to a pane in another layout, any empty panes in the linked Layout that have the "Use for Autofill" flag enabled will attempt to fill the empty panes with content from the linked asset, using the “Current Only” autofill setting.

The Show/Hide Content functions let you specify:

• The specific content to show or hide in a pane.

• The pane in which to show or hide the content.

• The screen that contains a pane in which to show or hide the content.

• The type of content you want to show or hide.

• Any property overrides to apply when showing the content.

• Whether to confine the search for a pane in which to show or hide the content to the source screen, the primary screen, or to search all screens, and whether to search in the top level layout or a nested (embedded) layout.
