I am currently developing a virtual warehouse for a company who produce product tracking software.
The aim is to be able to navigate around the warehouse, and when required, be able to click on a desired location which should then display the content of that location in the form of a text message. I have managed to get all this working fine, except for when I click on a location. Instead of that single location displaying a text message, all 2000 locations in the warehouse instantly display their own text messages.
This is not only visually confusing, but is also causing considerable performance problems due to the processing requirements of the operation.
The following is a segment of my code which produces a location / text switch. This is basically repeated with the various names changed, to produce the other 1999 locations. How can I alter this so that a single location will display its text as opposed to all of them ?
