This macro expression represents:
Syntax:
$.par("xx")
- xx = the name of the Pma object parameter or Pmg object parameter.
Obsolete syntax of the macro expression:
$par:xx
Evaluation of this macro is in the
cascade way (bubbling), i.e. the parameter is primarily searched in the object, in which the macro expression is used.
If it is not found, then it is searched in parents of this object (in objects where the object is immersed), and finally it is searched in the
PmaRoot or
PmgRoot object.
This macro expression can be used:
- in configurators of
Pma objects, e.g. in the "
Panel title" configurator, etc.
Its use is in fact necessary in case of the prototype/instance concept (the
PmaPrototype and
PmaInstance objects, where parameters allow the difference of each instance).
- in configurators of
Pmg objects, e.g. in text configurator of
PmgString,
PmgButton objects
Note: The parameter can also be detected in the script by means of the
PmaObject.GetPar or
PmgObject.GetPar methods.
The relation between Pma objects and Pmg objects:
It is important that it is possible to deliver the
Pma object parameter into the panel as a
Pmg object parameter. The basic principle is that the
Pma object parameter cannot get inside the panel automatically (the
Pmg object cannot directly "see" the parameter defined outside the panel). It is necessary to to create the corresponding parameter in the
PmgRoot object and set it to the value of the
Pma object parameter when opening the panel. This can be done:
Example:
If
nmb is parameter of the
PmgRoot object and if the panel was opened for example by method
Pm.CreateView(
pMe.PmPanel,"/panel", "pars:{nmb:2;}", "target:main;").
Open() and if the
boil text identifier marks the "
Boiler" localized text, then the result of complete macro is the text
"Boiler2".
