Hi Community,

I want to be able to use the alarm name value from the item that is selected in my AlarmList widget. My understanding is that the itemClick event binding is what I need, but I am not quite sure how to properly setup and extract the information using it. I have an alarmList widget in my application called AlarmList1. I tried creating the itemClick event binding using widgets.ReadAction, but I’m not able to get methods to appear when selecting my AlarmList widget in the properties dialog. I’m not sure if I missed a step or a configuration.

Can anyone here share the steps that have worked for them?

My Software Versions are: 
Automation Studio=6.7.0.187 
Automation Runtime=6.7.5 
Visual Components=6.0.0 
OPC UA C/S=6.6.1 
Mapp Services=6.5.1 
Mapp View=6.5.0

Thanks!

You already get the variable (operand) called name into the context by using the ItemClick event. So just use that one. The AlarmListItem does not have any events/actions exposed by itself.

To add to Philipp’s reply

In the EventBindings you get the arguments Philipp pointed out and use them when selecting expressions to assign one of those to another widget, session variable or OpcUa variable.

The arguments can also be used for conditions directly
