Open Discussion / AdvancedHMI Logo

« on: May 17, 2016, 04:58:19 PM »

The logo on the main screen sent with the application is made for a dark background.  I would like to place the logo on the main screen of my project (give credit where credit is due) but my screen is not dark.  Do you have a preference as to the color of the word "Advanced"?  Currently it is white.

Support Questions / Re: BasicLabel ValueChanged event problem

The problem with the 399e version is that the Prefix and Suffix properties do not work.  The "Return" statement that was add ('* 24-APR-16 Ver 3.99e) bypasses the prefix and suffix.

Sorry, this was my fault.

I began the project with version V399d.  There was a problem with the control in that it always returned True/False regardless of the BooleanDisplay property.  I solved the problem by changing the MyBase.text to m_Value in the "If m_Value = "True" Then ... Else ... End If".  I had also added some other choices.  When the v399e came I replaced the control with the one I modified.

Feature Request / Re: GraphicIndicator Text Color

« on: May 12, 2016, 11:37:42 AM »

You can change the control's Font ForeColor to anything and it works but as soon as the Form is reloaded the text color changes back to Black.  The control's Font ForeColor is still the color that was set.

When you first create the control the font color is the same as the parent Form.  If you ever change it then it will always be black when the Form is loaded.

Feature Request / GraphicIndicator Text Color

Is there a way to change the GraphicIndicator's text color?  If the graphic is dark you cannot see the black text.

V399e
I have the poll rate set to 6000
The PLC is a CompactLogix and it is in the program mode, just to make sure the value would not change.

The ValueChanged event is triggering constantly event though the BasicLabel value has not changed.  The PollRate seems to have no effect.
The TextChanged event is working properly and only triggers when the value has changed.

Additional Components / Re: Line shape as AHMI control

« on: May 09, 2016, 03:38:40 PM »

Attached is a basic line control that includes PLC properties for three color choices and visibility.  The orientation is forced to vertical if the control width is <=10 and is forced to horizontal if the control height is <=10.  The angle of the line is determined by the control’s size and can be flipped by setting the “OrientationFlip” property.  The line width and type are adjustable through property settings.

Feature Request / iniFileName for MessageListByValue

« on: May 02, 2016, 02:23:15 PM »

I cannot seem to find the iniFileName property for the MessageListByValue.  I have a list of over 150 alarms that are assigned an alarm number.  I was hoping to use the MessageListByValue to display a list of active alarms.  I don't want to add each message one at a time.

I could use the MessageDisplayByValue control but I wanted to see more then 1 alarm at a time.  Currently I am updating the PLC message address with the next active alarm message number every 3 seconds.

I hate to ask but is this something that could be added quickly?  I am kind of under a time crunch.

Feature Request / Illuminated Momentary Button

« on: April 28, 2016, 08:03:58 AM »

•  This functionality could be added to the PilotLight3Color control by adding darker colors.
•  It would also be nice to have yellow as a selection for the Momentary Button color.
