<p dir="auto">Has someone maybe a small example how to set this up?</p>

I was trying to make use of the placeholders (like $T for example) which I completed at the end in the Connections tab.</p>
<p dir="auto">Now I got it working by only creating the local parameters (HIDE_WINDOW_A, HIDE_WINDOW_B, ...) and giving them a default value '0' in the connections table.<br />
Then in the button's and windows which are to be hidden I used these newly created local parameters directly. (instead of using the $T).<br />
And now it is working fine. :-)...  still don't know what I'm doing wrong when using the connections table....</p>

<p dir="auto">thanks for you feedback. I can see that our documentation is not enough. Please, see the example attached:<br />

<p dir="auto">Yes, I have seen this document but somehow I cannot get it working. After a while I started to create all kind of possibilities and none of them worked. The funny thing is that I already managed to do this in the past but I didn't saved it...<br />
<img src="https://forum.rexygen.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f615.png?v=6d51e091ff9" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--confused" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":confused:" alt="😕" /></p>
<p dir="auto">So for the button I should use the alias HIDE (between curly brackets?) and is it  'W' or 'L'  ?<br />
And the object which's opacity needs to be changed is then also the alias HIDE, inbetween brackets and 'R'? Or is 'L'.<br />
Is it important in which order the parameters are assigned in this table?</p>

<p dir="auto">thanks for question. Did you look into the HMI docs? The Local items are mentioned here: <a href="https://www.rexygen.com/doc/ENGLISH/MANUALS/RexHMI/RexHMI_ENG.html#x1-120003.2.1">https://www.rexygen.com/doc/ENGLISH/MANUALS/RexHMI/RexHMI_ENG.html#x1-120003.2.1</a></p>
<p dir="auto">You just need to specify Alias (used in button as control and other components as HIDE parameter), Default value (Connection String column) and type = L - see the Figure 3.3 in above mentioned docs.</p>
<p dir="auto">Let me know if it helped.</p>
<p dir="auto">Kind Regards,<br />
Tomas</p>
