Presentation type

The content can be rendered in different ways (Read/Write or ReadOnly, Online/Offline data etc.). The layout of the rendered UI can be orchestrated by directives from PLC code (panels, UI elements arrangement, etc.).

Built-in presentation types

Built-in presentation types are reserved for the use with PrimitiveTwins or IValueTag objects. These objects are mediating values between the application and the controller.

PresentationType Meaning
Control Renders controls that allow editing of online values
Display Renders controls that display read-only access to online values
ShadowControl Renders controls that allow editing of shadow values
ShadowDisplay Renders controls that display read-only access to shadow values

When you omit PresentationType parameter, it will default to Display.
