Hello, I am trying to create a control screen on the left hand side that auto populates depending on what equipment is present on the main screen. So if we have 3 pumps on the main screen, the side screen should autofill with 3 pump start/stop button that correctly reference the names of the pumps.

Could anyone point me to a resource that would help with this setup?

Thank you.

Is this a single application, or different applications on the same server, or thin clients etc? Is your main screen and side screen separate monitors or just different parts of the screen...?

I've assumed different monitors on a single application using popup pages and extended desktop...:

If you have different pages for your equipment on one application (rather than different widgets on one page) I’d maybe have the page set a tag value (use “SET” in the page source code) i.e if pumps page is open set it to “1”, if the valves page is open set it to “2”… Then on your side screen source code, you can use “ShowPage” to show a specific page depending upon the tag value above. Note the comments in the help files so you don’t end up opening endless amounts of windows etc….
