dpTreeSetIcons()

Synopsis

int dpTreeSetIcons(mapping icons);

Parameters

Return Value

In the event of an error -1, otherwise 0

Errors

If an icon can not be found, the is displayed instead of the actual icon.

If an empty mapping is passed, all settings will be deleted and the default icons are displayed.

Description

Sets any icons for a system, a data point type or a data point element in the data point tree view.

The icons must be located in the /pictures directory (first the /pictures project directory is browsed, then the /pictures installation directory).

The definition is global effective for the entire UI (i.e. all occurrences of the data point tree view).

The specification of the system is optional. Wildcards ("*", "?", etc.) are not supported.

If an icon was set for a data point element and the corresponding data point type is embedded to another data point type, then the icon of the first data point type is not used automatically and needs to be specified explicitly (see example 2 below: ANALOG1 is embedded to ANALOG2 as .analog).

The icons are shown in their original size in the data point tree view.

Example 1

It is assumed that the name of the local system is "dist_1" and the used icons are stored in the /pictures directory of the project.

Create the script icons.ctl with the following code:

main()
{
  mapping map;
  map["dist_1:"] = "dist_1.png";
  map["dist_1:[PUMP1]"] = "pump1.png";
  map["dist_1:[PUMP1].state.on"] = "on.png";
  map["dist_1:[PUMP1].state.on_2"] = "on_2.png";
  map["dist_1:[PUMP1].state.off"] = "off.png";
  map["dist_1:[PUMP1].state.mode.remote"] = "remote.png";
  map["dist_1:[PUMP1].state.mode.local"] = "local.png";
  map["dist_1:[PUMP1].state.mode.auto"] = "auto.png";
  map["dist_1:[PUMP1].state.mode.man"] = "man.png";
  map["dist_1:[PUMP1].state.mode.service"] = "service.png";
  dpTreeSetIcons(map);
}

Start the PARA and the script with the following command line options in the Console:

WCCOAui -m para -s icons.ctl

The following icons are displayed in the data point tree view at the data point type PUMP1:

Example 2

It is assumed that the name of the local system is "System1" and the used icons are stored in the /pictures directory of the project.

Create the script icons.ctl with the following code:

main()
{
  mapping map;
  map["System1:[ANALOG1]"] = "analog1.png";
  map["System1:[ANALOG1].C1.AVG_WT0"] = "ava.png";
  map["[ANALOG2]"] = "analog2.png";
  map["[ANALOG2].analog.C1.AVG_WT0"] = "ava.png";
  dpTreeSetIcons(map); 
}

Start the PARA and the script with the following command line options in the Console:

WCCOAui -m para -s icons.ctl
