Specify displayText for bundle

Hi,

When using a table view (viewwindowtype 5), how can I provide a custom display text for a column?

It seems that the displayText node expects a treenode for param(1), which works fine for node-based tables, but of course for a bundle there is no cell node.

Please see the attached model, where I gave both global tables a custom GUI. For the node-based Global Table it works (I see the custom display text "value + [Click Me!]", but for the bundle-based table it doesn't as cellNode is null.

The engine code for resolving custom display text is:

if (format->displayText) {
   Variant temp = format->displayText->evaluate(cellNode, row, col, precision);
   if (temp.type == VariantType::String) {
      customStr = temp;
      str = (char*)customStr.c_str();
   }
}

It looks like the row and column numbers are passed in as param(2) and param(3), so you should be able to use those to determine display text for bundle table views.

Finally I got it working:

customgui-viewwindowtype5-JV_bruteForce.fsm

It is based on the answer of @anthony.johnson

https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/22094/how-to-access-node-array-values.html

if you parse the name on table into a table declaration you can get access to values of a bundle even if you haven't got a cell node.

It is obviously not what you are looking for, because it will cost a lot of system time to build for each cell a new table of all values.
