FactoryTalk View: Close the window opens with global object

[anhtuandrg]

Dear all,

I have a button in global object, and that button that button use to open a pop-up window and transfer parameter tags to that pop-up. The problem is when a click in 2 objects in main window, there will be 2 windows. Is there anyway to close the first window after the second window showed up. Because I don't want have a distract when the first window disappears, then the second window shows up. I came up with idea that i will Abort the first window after the second window showed up, but 2 windows have the same name in FTView designer. So when I did that, the second window was closed, not the first one. I wonder that if 2 windows have different name.

Can you guys give me some advices?

Thank you for you reply, gclshortt

I read the thread but those solutions were used for FTViewME. I'm using SE. Do you have any other idea?

Or, is there anyway to just replace the pop-up window in FTViewSE? I mean, the second pop-up window will replace the first one

Can you guys give me some advices?

You could have the button close popups on press, and open popups on release?

Hi ASF,
Thank you for your response.
I tried that way, but my client, he don't want see a distraction between appearing the first pop-up and disappearing the second one. We are converting from iFix SCADA to FTViewSE SCADA. In old system, there is no distraction, the parameters in pop-up window change smoothly. So he want me to do them the same . Have you ever got that problem before? Any suggestion?
