Support Questions / Message Display By Bit Not changeing Backround Color at Runtime/Debug

« on: January 24, 2017, 01:41:29 PM »

Hello,
   I am using AHMI v.399p. Using MessageDisplayByBit. When I change the Background color for each message the colors will change in design mode. When I enter debug/Run mode the Background color does not change with the message...

   Any Ideas?


Thanks,

Support Questions / Stacklight Events?

« on: January 07, 2017, 05:56:06 PM »

Hello,
   I would like to run some code when a StackLight color changes state. Is there a way to do this? Perhaps an event is generated?

   If not, would I have to subscribe to the PLC address? If I need to subscribe, how would I subscribe to a Compact Logix PLC tag or array?

Thanks

Support Questions / Basic Label Tranperancy?

« on: January 07, 2017, 05:49:49 PM »

Hello,
   I would like to place a Basic Label over each  StackLight Color. When the light is on, the Basic Label is visible and vice versa. I would like the basic Label background to be transparent when the label is visible. When I set the Basic Label Background Color to transparent, the background is still solid? Any way to get a Transparent Background on a Basic Label?

Thanks,
-Rob

Hi Archie,
   Is there a way to define the Forground Color of the NumericSevenSegment display? Ie: "White" when Idle, "Amber" when Paused, "Green" when Running, "Red" when Faulted? Maybe a property I can pass a color to in Hex?

Open Discussion / Read PLC values directly into a VB variable?

« on: November 21, 2016, 10:15:47 AM »

Hello,
I would like to read a PLC tag value or array directly into a VB variable or array. I would like this to happen in the background without having to display a control or controls...

Is it possible to read values from a PLC without having a control visible on the screen? Is there a specific tool for this?

Thanks,
-Rob

Open Discussion / How to Use Advanced HMI with other Windows Controls

« on: October 01, 2016, 05:04:09 PM »

Hello! I am trying to create a new button using a custom button control that allows for some pretty unique properties such as gradations. In addition to these unique properties, there are the standard windows button properties and events. How would I read and write to the Advanced HMI PLC communication capabilities, say using a typical MouseDown event?

In other words, is there a way to incorporate controls other than the Advanced HMI controls?

Thanks!
