If I may ask one more....I am having trouble bringing in the purchased controls into the newest release (Digitalpanel meter blue)  The previous versions never posed a problem for me but now I am unable to correct the errors that generate,  paticularly with the "callBack" used in the DigitalPanelMeterBlue.vb

Archie / Darrell......Thank you for replying!  I forgot to mention that I was using DisableSubscription successfully,  it was bringing it back that had me stuck.
Darrell I will apply your suggestions right away and let you know!!
OUTSTANDING HMI design software!!   So many uses!
By the way I am using Arduino boards with an Ethernet shield/Modbus TCP library and I wanted to let you know as well as anybody who reads this that should you decide to use Arduino as a controller ONLY use the 32bit Due!!!  Using the 8bit (Uno/Mega2560) is a waste as the processor speed is so limited that the HMI application is very slow to respond.  As soon as I switched to the 32bit the performance is outstanding!!

Hello!  I am creating a UI for a test set where one ModbusTCP (ModbusTcpCom1) driver is always communicating to the controller and on a separate form a second ModbusTCP (ModbusTcpCom2) driver will have its IP configured by the user via a label and be able to enable/disable ModbusTcpCom2 with a button click. This is so that while the form is open but the ModbusTcpCom2 is not needed the application won't send out communication errors.
Changing the IP address was easy enough and that part works fine but I can't seem to enable/disable the second com.

This is my first time using this forum and it seems to be a wealth of knowledge and if anybody can point me in the right direction...........

Thank you!!
