Referencing Widgets in Services

Hi all,

I've been developing in Thingworx for a while now and I was wondering if it was possible to reference a Widget Property in a service, something like:

if (condition) {

[WidgetProperty] = [Something];

} else {

[WidgetProperty] = [SomethingElse];

}

I know that Widgets have pre-defined services and inputs/outputs but my question is: Could I write a code that defines the input of the property based on a condition? If possible, how do I reference this property in the service?

Thank you.

You can not access widget reference in Thingworx JS service .This is doable in Studio (which is another AR product ) using angular snippet . But as per Thingworx it is not feasible .But you can use expression/Validator widget to evaluate a JS expression(condition) and use the output to bind to widget services .

Thanks ,
