If I understand correctly you want to call up displays by pressing a button on the ann panel? Wouldn't it be more usefull if the operator uses the block detail button on the alarm display? Or create an extra,custom button on the CAD display using the references from the alarm? Or floor operators use windows stations and exceed emulation, they haven't got ann panels but still have to be able to call up displays related to the alarm on the cad page. We simply use the block detail in that case, but i can imagine it would be possible to use other references from the alarm to call other displays via a custom made button on the cad page....

How can I configure a relationsship between display and compound:block for ALL displays that we have? The Foxpanel configuration is limited to a low number of buttons. This is acceptable for that specific case. But what can I do in the case where I want create thousands of relationsships between compound:blocks and displays? Or is it possible to configure virtual buttons within Foxpanel or within the source files? use case: The operator should be able to call up a display for every compound:block in the current alarm display.
