Buttons for switching between tabs: Live and Playback
Bear in mind that, depending on their user rights, some users may not be able to access all
tabs.
Required HTML syntax:
Live tab: onclick="SCS.Application.ShowLive();">
Playback tab: onclick="SCS.Application.ShowPlayback();">
Tip: For advanced users it is possible to create many other types of buttons using the approximately
100 different function calls available for the XProtect Smart Client. See
Scripting (on page 165) for
more information.
In the following we have created two shared groups in the XProtect Smart Client . We have called
them Group1 and Group2. Each group contains two views, called View1 and View2.
We have also created an HTML page with buttons allowing users to switch between our four different
views as well as between two of the XProtect Smart Client 's tabs, Live and Playback. When viewed
in a browser, our HTML page looks like this:
HTML page with buttons for navigating between views and tabs
We have saved the HTML page locally, in this case on the user's C: drive. When the HTML page is to
be used for navigation, saving the HTML page locally is necessary because of security features in
Internet Explorer.
When saving the HTML page locally, save it at a location to which an unambiguous path can be
defined, for example in a folder on the user's C: drive (example: C:\ myfolder\file.htm). Saving the
HTML page on the user's desktop or in the user's My Documents folder will not work properly due to
the way Windows constructs the path to such locations.
