We have a View item plugin that should ‘advertise’ the currently selected camer - the camera being displayed in the view item plugin - in the smart client it way, that a built in hotspot window is picking up the camera and shows this camera’s video feed.
Is there a special message or property that I would need to send or set?
Thanks in advance.
This sounds much like the Hotspot sample, please explore it.
If the sample does not fit or does not answer your question please elaborate.
Please find my explanation below.
The Hotspot sample does not really help. I don’t want to implement my own hotspot. I would like to use the built-in hotsspot and get the ‘active’ camera (which is processed within my view item) displayed in the built-in hotspot.
Now - the hotspot sample help to a certain extent. The built in hotspot is picking up my camera, as long as the hotspot sample’s floating window is active. When i close the floating window, the camera is no longer picked up.
For a better understanding, i’ll add some screenshots.
Now, I do realize that the background plugin in the hotspot plugin is sending the ‘SetCameraInView’ command, and I assume that this is somehow triggering the functionality I am looking for. But is that the way forward without the hotspot plugin being active? Do need to send this message in myself? Actually that would be incorrect, because I am not inserting a new camera into a view.
Any help is apprechiated.
The following images show the ‘basic setup’. 2x2 view and in the bottom right view item, we have the buil-in hotspot and 2 view item plugins on the left side. With the hotspot plugin being active, the built-in hotspot (bottom right) gets poulated with the camera of the ‘active view item’. In case the floating hotspot windows is closed, it does no longer work.
Milestone Development will start an investigation.
