Glass Buttons

<< < (4/5) > >>

bachphi:
In the downloaded demo folder, there are 2 DLL files ( GlassButton.dll, GlassButtonVB.dll). Adding either one of those will work, but not both.  I am curious to know why the author generated 2 dll files?

Godra:
I would suggest that GlassButton.dll file is compiled C# code and GlassButtonVB.dll is compiled VB code.

Both of them represent the same project and that's why only one works at the time.

Take a look at the source zip file.

* Edit: This should be the simplest way of adding this control to AHMI. Previously, there was another explanation with different steps, which might be reflected in the posts below.

It may be simpler, but I would recommend to follow Archie's method. The reason is if you move this project to another PC and do a build clean, your  DLL will be gone.

First,  Add the DLL file to the AdvancedHMIControls\Support using Add Existing Item.
Then Add Reference to AdvancedHMIControls project , no need to add reference to AdvancedHMI  project

Godra:
Sounds good to me.

I have corrected my post to reflect that.

Rookie 2017:
HEY GUYS,

So im a complete noob to this stuff and and VERY slowly catching on.  But in this instance, I messed something up for sure.

I added the DLL file to the AdvancedHMIControls\Support, then added Reference to AdvancedHMIControls project , the button shows up and looks great! but no plc click......

Please speak slowly and use small words, lol

Thanks in advance
