Set configured references

The ShowConfiguredReferences property is available in Industrial Graphic Editor under the Runtime Behavior section of the Properties pane. If you set the ShowConfiguredReferences field to True, then in the runtime, on right-clicking any element, the Configured References dialog box opens and displays the attributes configured on that element.

To set the ShowConfiguredReferences property to true in the design time:

• In the Industrial Graphic Editor, under the Runtime Behavior section of the Properties pane, in the ShowConfiguredReferences property dropdown box, select True.

  

You can also set the ShowConfiguredReferences property to true in the runtime using scripts as shown in the below example:

1. In the Industrial Graphic Editor, add an element and create a Pushbutton animation to change the _showref custom property.

   

2. Use the DataChange script as in the below image to change the ShowConfiguredReferences value to True or False based on the value of the custom property _showref.

   

   Note: You cannot use User Input animation to set the value of ShowConfiguredReferences to True or False as it is only supported in the Scripts. Hence, you can use the above alternate method.

3. In the runtime, when you click on the Pushbutton, it will trigger the ShowConfiguredReferences property value to True. You can then right-click the element to view the Configured References dialog box.
