How to access an object on which I click in GUI?

Hi,


I would like to ask, how can I access an object (flowItem) on which I click in GUI? I know that it can be access through button click with "objectfocus", but is it also possible to get this reference based on OnOpen trigger, or based on static text?


Thank you.

The question is when do you want to access the click.

You can place OnClick behaviour on the flowitem:

Or if you want to find the highlighted object in the first perspective view:

Object persp=views().find("active>Documents/Perspective/1+/~");
return selectedobject(persp);

Example model: ItemClick.fsm


Or are you looking to implement a sampler (pipette icon)?

Thank you,


the provided code (located in the OnClick trigger) works perfectly even in combination with GUI.
