DspSym with Genies

Hi Tim,

DspSym was updated in the 2018 version allowing it to display genies. We did this as we wanted vector based symbols with animation.

We don't support displaying genies at runtime that have genie parameters, as the substitution that occurs is a configuration time concept.

Of course, you can still "parameterize" your genie using metadata as Steve mentioned. We do this with the Alarm priority genies of situational awareness projects.

Do a search for DspSym in the ExampleSA project to uses of it. In particular have a look at PageNavigation.ci which demonstrates the manipulation of the genies metadata. But then you know how to use metadata functions... ;)

There is no direct way to pass tags, other than using the usual page background cicode tricks. (<- that is not an endorsement to try that...)
