Title: Missing Drivers in Toolbox
Post by: godspeed1986 on March 22, 2016, 01:02:35 PM

Hello all,

I'm new to AdvancedHMI and wanted to build a simple HMI project to communicate to a Controllogix PLC. I installed Visual Studio Community 2015 and downloaded AdvancedHMI. I followed the instructions to make a project but I don't see all of the drivers in the toolbox. I built the AdvancedHMI project with success. I believe I need the EthernetIPforCLXCom driver which does not show up in the toolbox. Is this an issue with 3.99d or is there a way that I can add it manually?

Thanks for your help.

This is an issue with 3.99d and VS2015. There has been no definite solution that has proved to work, but the drivers will eventually show up. Here is a thread that discusses a couple methods to try:

Thanks for the quick response. I'll look through that thread for a solution.

Update: This resolved the issue. I added a driver to the form, built the solution, exited Visual Studio, and reloaded the project. I was able to see all the drivers in the Toolbox afterwards. Thanks for the help.
