Animation limitations

The OMI web client has some limitations which apply to all animations when used with any Industrial Graphic Editor element and other limitations which apply only to a specific animation.

The following list shows the limitations for all supported animations. Any animation not listed is not supported by the OMI web client.

All animations

Keyboard shortcuts are not supported.

Action script animation

Animations with a While Center Down trigger type do not work the same as in the desktop client. The script does not stop triggering at the proper time based on the mouse position.

Blink animation

Blinking may stop after a period of time. This has been observed with the CalendarApp and with the ComboBox element.

Element style animation

Changes to element styles, numeric formatting, etc. are not automatically propagated to the OMI web clients.

You must undeploy and redeploy the affected ViewApps to see the changes at runtime.

Push button animation

No limitations.

Slider animation

No limitations.

ToolTip animation

Because the OMI web client uses different technology to render elements on different platforms, we suggest you check the appearance of tooltip animations on each type of platform where a ViewApp will be accessed.

User input animation

• You cannot encrypt string input.

• You cannot define a character to use to hide password input. The default # character is always used.

• You cannot input a multi-line string.
