MappView Compound Widget Issues mappView 6.5.0

[J.Bruick (JB Bruick)]

Im trying to create my first CompoundWidget for mappView and im running into a ton of issues.

First question this link no longer works http://www.br-automation.com/iat2015/contentDefinition/v2 so how do i view what definitions are required.

Otherwise im trying to make a bindable propterty for a real value and i keep getting errors that say it requires a default value but no matter what i try for a default value i will get a build error. Ive tried 0, 0.0, 0.0F, 0.0f, 0.0r, 0.000000 and nothing is working)

Below is my compounwidget file

Hello,

In the Bindable properties help section, it is written: “The data type must correspond to the one that has a widget property in element Mapping to a widget contained in the compound widget”.

From your screenshot:

• The BindableProperty DisplayName is mapped to TxtName, which is the TextOutput. The TextOutput’s value property has the type String.

  

• The BindableProperty AxisValue is mapped to NumAxisValue, which is the NumericOutput. The NumericOutput’s value property has the type Number.

  

• etc.

One trick you can also use is to create a regular content file, that matches the size of your compound widget and you can then use the graphical editor to configure the widgets. After your widgets are configured open the content file in text mode and copy-paste the widgets to the widgets part of the compound widget file.
