WinCC PRO V15.1 Push Button Click event in face plate

I have several items which all relate to a process step. There are 20 steps all with the same variables.

I want to add variables in each step.

Step number, step name, process function, etc...and I want to have a button that sends you to another screen to add other related variables. Button X.

Button X, when used on the screen and not in a face plate, uses a "click event" to call the screen name and also set a bit to indicate which step is being edited.

I would like to make this collection of variable entry elements into a face plate, but when I define the variables in the face plate, there are no click event functions...no function list at all.

See attached for screen shots.

Select VB script

Sub "on press left"

smartags ("property_1\variable.tag") = 1

end sub

To get the correct syntax, you can place the button on a regular screen and select the function list. make it do what you want, then select "vb script" and the function will be shown converted to vb script syntax.

I could not get this to work with complex functions like change screen, but it might work if all we do is change the state of one of the faceplate tags.

Need to test.

Just posting update on what I found so far.
