Hi All,

 

We wanted to pass parameters to our application which is rendering in an iFrame of external application (build on angular). We wanted to utilize window.postMessage() API as part of iFrame contract where we can send information from external application to thingworx app.

 

 

Is it possible ? 

 

Thanks and regards,

Vishal Vaidya

Just a couple ideas:

 

1. You could pass parameters in through the iframe URL.  Just construct the URL in a TWx service with your param values and bind it to the iframe

 

2.  For using the window.postMessage(), have you tried using an expression?  

 

Hope that helps!
