Additional Components / Re: New Keypad

« on: February 03, 2023, 02:58:05 PM »

I know this thread is ancient, but the v3 has features my customers definitely want/need.

I got the keypad to pop up as desired, but after entering data/closing the new keypad the standard keypad pops up as usual.

Is there a way to do a global replace of the standard keypad or a way to prevent the standard keypad from appearing after the v3?


I'm also using an additional write instruction to relay the data from v3 keypad to desired tag...where the standard keypad has that built in.

Is using the additional write instruction the preferred method or is there a way to build that in?

Just follow these steps:

- Download the control again since I just updated it
- Open a fresh solution of AHMI, open the MainForm, build the solution (Ctrl+Shift+B), add a ModbusTCP driver and set it up, close the form
- Follow the steps to replace the MessageListByBit control with the one you downloaded
- Rebuild the solution
- Add the MessageListByBit control to the form and test it

Another post to bring this back from the dead, but I've been trying to follow these steps and keep getting the same "BC30456   'GetComComponent' is not a member of 'Utilities'." error upon rebuilding the solution.
Using v399xR1, tried with VS 2019 and 2022.
After the error I can repeat the add existing step with the original MessageListByBit.vb from a working project and can rebuild without a problem.

That worked for the Message Display, nice!

Anything for the Message List?

Did some more testing today - still no luck

In the MessageListByBit I tried changing the object fore color (including transparent), individual message back colors, and individual fore colors.  The only color I can get to change is the entire object background.  I also tried setting the object background to transparent with the hopes the message backgrounds would show up.
All messages would display in black.  Font style and size changed with no problem.

In the MessageDisplayByBit I got similar results from above with the exception of the object fore color.  Changing the fore color of the object changed the message text.


As for the MultiState & MessageValue: That works to change individual message backgrounds and foregrounds. If that was available in a list form it'd be perfect

Any update to getting the actual message text color to change?  I'm new to AdvancedHMI and I'm trying to get my components to look the same as all of the other screen brands I've done (because we know how people accept change on their machines!), which is white text on a red background.

I've been searching through other posts and came across this one regarding message backgrounds: http://advancedhmi.com/forum/index.php?topic=1610.0

I installed the latest patch from the link but that didn't change anything for the text itself.
