Support Questions / Re: Making form size independent using MainMenu
« Last post by Archie on May 22, 2024, 11:26:11 AM »If you are using 3.99y, in the MainMenuButton.vb code at line 264 is where it sets the form size to fill the screen less the main menu
Code: [Select]
If MenuPosition = AdvancedHMI.Controls.MenuPos.LeftOrTop Then
If pf.width < pf.height Then
'* Menu is on left
f1.Size = New Size(System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Size.Width - pf.Width, pf.Height)
f1.Location = New Point(pf.width, 0)
Else
'* Menu on Top
f1.Size = New Size(pf.Width, System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Size.Height - pf.Height)
f1.Location = New Point(0, pf.height)
End If
Else
'* Menu on Right
If pf.width < pf.height Then
f1.Size = New Size(System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Size.Width - pf.Width, pf.Height)
f1.Location = New Point(pf.location.x - f1.Width, 0)
Else
'* Menu on Bottom
f1.Size = New Size(pf.Width, System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Size.Height - pf.Height)
f1.Location = New Point(0, pf.location.y - f1.Height)

Support Questions / Making form size independent using MainMenu
« Last post by Automatikai on May 22, 2024, 10:41:51 AM »I have finally figured out how to do my screen navigation using the MainMenu, but can't seem to find where the size is overridden on the sub screens. I want the MainMenu to stay docked as it does, but I'd like the screens to appear at the size they are defined as in the properties of the screen and still remain movable. Somewhere the Main Menu overrides the size and makes the sub screen all the same height as the Main Menu, and full width.

« Last post by Godra on May 19, 2024, 02:38:23 PM »As Archie suggested, use a BasicLabel first.
You could as well put 3 of the BasicLabels controls next to each other and address them differently: F400024, F400025, F400026.
One of them should show the correct value.

To show a floating point on the DigitalPanelMeter, Set the ScaleFactor property to 1000 and the DecimalPosition to 3

Support Questions / Re: Only reading 1 array register
« Last post by FlippinBits on May 15, 2024, 11:08:37 AM »Yes, this is the second time for an issue like this. First was a ControlLogix V32. I was not able to read several registers from an outside network and the HMI stopped reading from the PLC. A download "fixed" that. Rockwell recommended a firmware update, which I did. Have not seen that one again.
Second is the one posted here, which I have already described.
This recent one with the 5380 is version 32.12.
I updated the ControlLogix L83ES to version 32.16.
Yes, at least some of the data was in a UDT.
I am in a production environment. Luckily, it has only been informational data affected, machine performance, HMI display. So didn't stop anything from running. Other than the time to troubleshoot and fix...
