Alarm viewer Info

Post by Bauer222 »

When the info button is pressed, but no alarm row selected, I would like to have a popup telling the user to "!Select item first!" .

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

To elaborate, we have the Alarm Viewer setup so that when you have an Alarm Row selected and you press the info touchcell, a popup appears with info from the Text Library which is tagged to that specific alarm.

When an alarm is generated, the Alarm Viewer page comes up but no alarm is selected by default and our customers don't know that they have to select a row to get the info button to function.

We would like to either have the top row selected by default or display a message to 'Select a row first' if the info button is pressed while no row is selected.

Any suggestions???

I don't know if this will help - I've never user the alarm viewer list so I don't know specific details about it, but the standard windows listbox has a property named SelectedIndex which has the value -1 when no item is selected. Maybe the alarm viewer has something similar.
