When a faceplate is placed on a page (via drag & drop from the toolbox), it initially only contains the standard events that each control element contains. The faceplate does not automatically publish all the events of the controls it contains.

To access individual events of internal controls from outside, these must be defined in the Events tab of the Faceplate inspector .

Let’s take a look at this faceplate as an example:

It contains a label, three conveyor technology elements and two buttons. Here, for example, it may be necessary to be able to evaluate the click events of the two buttons at runtime.

We can add further events to the faceplate by first switching to the Events tab.

In the right-hand input field Target event, we now select an event of an internal control element that we also want to evaluate externally. In the left-hand input field Name, we then assign a unique name under which this event can be addressed in the faceplate.

If this faceplate is now placed, these two events now appear in the control element inspector and can be processed.
