OMI ViewApp - SA_PlantModelPicker component

I need help regarding the SA_PlantModelPicker component, present in the Situational Awareness Library. I can attach it to an Intouch ViewApp, however, when used in the OMI ViewApp, a red X is displayed with the message "Empty." I am unsure if I can use this component in the OMI ViewApp.

System Plarform 2020 R2 P01

  • Inacio - if I recall correctly, the PlantModelPicker graphic uses the ListBox .NET control.  OMI doesn't support .NET client controls embedded in Industrial Graphics.  I'm not aware of an analogous ArchestrA App, but I guess the question is, what are you trying to accomplish?  Maybe there's a different way to get the same result.

  • Thank you for your help!
    I am trying to create a screen that lists analog instances, so the SA_PlantModelPicker component would be useful for building a filter through the areas. I would use SQL queries to fetch the tags after the area has been selected.

  • Just spitballing in my head - a couple of outside the box ideas

    1) somehow using the AreaHeirarchy.xml file in the GalaxyData in conjunction with importing system.windows.forms as an ArchestrA App, then populating the listbox using that (using the PlantModelPicker as an example for the code)

    2) Using GR Access.

    I also know that there is a alarm/area tree in the AlarmApp archestra object, and I THINK (there are a couple, not sure if this is one) that the source code is provided for that as an example on the system platform disc.  If you're Visual Studio savvy that may be another avenue, but highly customized.  

    Unfortunately, nothing I'm thinking of at the moment comes to mind out of the box that would be easy to use.
