Description

The OTX Group activity is the easiest of all tree nodes. She can be used to combine multiple activities in a group. All activities within the group can thus be regarded as logically contiguous block. The author thus shows the togetherness of the contained activities and produces clear and transparent processes.

The run-time behavior of a group activity can be adjusted via the ValidFor property of nearby, see ValidityConcept.

OTL Examples

Integer Integer1;

//Group
group 
{
   Integer1 = 123;
   if ((Integer1 == 123))
   {
      Hmi.ConfirmDialog("true", null, @MessageTypes:INFO, null);
   }
   else
   {
      Hmi.ConfirmDialog("false", null, @MessageTypes:INFO, null);
   }
}

//Group realisation
group 
{
   realization()
   {
      Integer1 = 123;
      if ((Integer1 == 123))
      {
         Hmi.ConfirmDialog("true", null, @MessageTypes:INFO, null);
      }
      else
      {
         Hmi.ConfirmDialog("false", null, @MessageTypes:INFO, null);
      }
   }
   realization()
   {
      Integer1 = 123;
      if ((Integer1 == 123))
      {
         Hmi.ConfirmDialog("true", null, @MessageTypes:INFO, null);
      }
      else
      {
         Hmi.ConfirmDialog("false", null, @MessageTypes:INFO, null);
