« on: May 08, 2017, 07:02:30 AM »

hello

in my hmi project
i have 6 pages

the first one is the main

it has 5 buttons each button opens a form

what i do is the other five forms have close button that closes them and return to the main page

the button code is

Code: [Select]

Me.Hide()
            mainpage.Show().

now when i run the application

i can go to tow pages
when i try to open a third page it gives me runtime error

so i need to close them not hide them

but when i try the code

Code: [Select]

Me.close()
            mainpage.Show()
or

Code: [Select]

Me.close()
           
 it gives an error too

so what is the best way to open the forms and close them


the open form code i use  is

Code: [Select]

page1.show()

Tips & Tricks / flickering solution

« on: May 03, 2017, 03:59:29 PM »

hello

i faced an annoying problem with my project

wich is  pictures and controls  flickering when loading the form

i found two solutions

1- set  DoubleBuffered to true in the form properties

2- put this code any where inside your form.vb

Code: [Select]

Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() As CreateParams
        Get
            Dim cp As CreateParams = MyBase.CreateParams
            cp.ExStyle = cp.ExStyle Or &H2000000
            Return cp
        End Get
    End Property 'CreateParams

the second solution worked great for me

and i also kept DoubleBuffered  true


i hope this can help others

Support Questions / making my own class ImageDisplayByValue

« on: April 29, 2017, 06:24:06 AM »

hello
what i do some times is to read true / false address then the picture changes according to it

something like (ImageDisplayByValue) one image is jpg and one is animated gif

the way i do it is i put picturebox , basiclable and timer then add the pictures i need in the project  resources

after i put the basiclabel values and properties

i go to the timer code

and write this

Code: [Select]


 if basiclabel.value = true then
picturebox.image =  Global.MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.My.Resources.Resources.imageOff
else
picturebox.image =  Global.MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.My.Resources.Resources.imageOn

end if
 

now to my question

can i make my own class to do all the above


the reason i do this is that  ImageDisplayByValue does not support animated ( gif) images and treats them all as jpg

with thanks

Support Questions / connect advance hmi to the hmi not to the plc

« on: April 19, 2017, 04:38:32 PM »

hello

can we connect advance hmi
with an hmi and not with the plc?

i have some delta dopB HMI with Ethernet

i use Eremote to connect them

but i don`t find it as good as advance hmi
for many reasons
the most important problem is
that Eremote connects to the hmi as a video
so it needs a strong internet connection on both sides
