Select Widget default value

[Wayne_Beck]

I am using the select widget to select the sequence to play.  I would like to have this list default to a specific sequence.  Is this possible?

Hi @Wayne_Beck ,

One of the ways to set a default selection for select input widget is as shown below:

• Create an Application Parameter by clicking + next to Application Parameters. The app param value is a JSON formatted array. For example.
  • [{"val":" l-Creo 3D - Figure 1.pvi"},{"val":" l-Creo 3D – Figure 2.pvi"}]
• The object attribute name val must be specified in the Value Field and Display Field properties of the Select widget.
• The app param is then bound to the List property of the Select widget. This binding has a filter on it with the following expression:
  • return angular.fromJson(value);
• Bind the Value property of the Select widget to the Sequence property of the Model widget
• Now, put the PVI file name in as the default ‘value’ for the select widget as shown below:

Hope this helps!

This helped but now I face a few issues.  I would prefer my list not have "l-Creo 3D - Installation Orientation.pvi" in the drop down and just be "Installation Orientation".  Second my play button no longer works to start the sequence.  Any help on this would be great.

Hi @Wayne_Beck,

• To change the display name in the list, update the array in the Application Parameter as follows:
  • [{"val":"l-Creo 3D - ShoulderReplacement.pvi", "name":"ShoulderReplacement"},{"val":"l-Creo 3D - ElbowMotorReplacement.pvi", "name":"ElbowReplacement"}]
  • Now, update the Display filed property of Select widget to name as shown below:
• Drag and Drop a button widget on to the 2D canvas and bind the click event to the PlayAll property of the model widget

Thank you again I now have the list showing correctly.  But I am still unable to get my sequences to play with the button.

I now have some of the sequences working.
