Create a point with a specific proxy ext

To simplify the creation of communicating control points, instead of creating a template and reusing it, you can simply add a suffix to the template.

The format is the following:

  • pathToABog {proxyExtSlotName=DesiredTypeSpec} or

  • TypeSpec {proxyExtSlotName=DesiredTypeSpec}

You can also put this value in a variable and reuse it

Example:

$MyModbusPoint = control:BooleanWritable{proxyExt=modbusCore:ModbusClientBooleanProxyExt} will create a BooleanWritable with a ModbusClientBooleanProxyExt instead of its standard NullProxyExt


BREAKING CHANGE: since the 46.13.1 you must put the suffix between curly braces: {   }


You CANNOT put $MyVar {slot name=TypeSpec} in the template cell, the brackets and their content must be IN the variable value


Example: If you have a variable $MyVar= control:BooleanWritable and you put

$MyVar{proxyExt=modbusCore:ModbusClientBooleanProxyExt}, the import won’t work


This suffix can only be used at the creation of the component, an existing component won’t be updated


To add a new sub component in a NON EXISTING slot, use the 

subComponent

 column, this syntax can only be used to change already present slots.
