Hint

Undocumented triggers are internally used by atvise. Their functionality may be changed in future atvise releases.

Trigger functions

webMI.trigger.connect(triggerName, function(e){...}[, scope])

Connects to the trigger "triggerName". If the trigger is fired the callback function will be executed.

The parameter "scope" is optional. Three different scopes can be defined as follows:

• global – The trigger can be called anywhere in the visualization

  webMI.trigger.connect("globalTrigger", function(e) {...});
  

• internal – This trigger is valid within the same display

  webMI.trigger.connect("internalTrigger", function(e) {...}, "");
  

• display – This trigger is valid for a defined object display

  webMI.trigger.connect("displayTrigger", function(e) {...}, "myDisplayID");
  

Example:

webMI.trigger.connect("setValue", function(e) {
    alert(e);
});

webMI.trigger.fire(triggerName, value[, scope])

Fires a value to the trigger with the name specified as "triggerName".

The parameter "scope" is optional. Three different scopes can be defined as follows:

• global – The value can be retrieved anywhere in the visualization

  webMI.trigger.fire("globalTrigger", 23);
  

• internal – The value can be retrieved within the same display

  webMI.trigger.fire("internalTrigger", 23, "");
  

• display – The specified object display will retrieve the value

  webMI.trigger.fire("displayTrigger", 23, "myDisplayID");
  

In the control "in_out_value" exists a trigger "setValue":

webMI.trigger.connect("setValue", function(e) {
    var text = passwordMode ? makeStars(e.value) : e.value;
    webMI.gfx.setText("input_label", text + unit);
});

Now this trigger can be used to set the value of the control "from the outside":

webMI.trigger.fire("setValue", 100, "in_out_value_Example");
