How to change emailer settings

[ddddd13]

When using the emailer it will send out an email on startup if I use the TriggerType ValueChange. This is the easiest way for me to send an email as all I have to do is increment value. I have tried
Emailer1.TriggerType=ValueChange
and
Emailer1.TriggerType = AdvancedHMI.Controls.EmailerEx.TriggerTypeEnum.ValueChange
Neither one actually changes the Type.

What am I doing wrong

You shouldn't have to set that property since ValueChange is the default value.

Because on startup the value changes from nothing to something, which is a change. You will need to ignore on startup. That’s something you will need to do manually I suppose as I don’t think that’s natively in the controls.

I am trying to stop the email from being sent on startup by setting it to GreaterThanValue, then changing it to value change after it has started.

It looks like as of V3.99y Beta 35, this is in the emailer to not send on startup.

Ok. So your saying I need a newer version of software?

I got around the problem by making the first email message "system restart".

However, I was trying to change the property Emailer1.MessageTo without success. I used.

Emailer.MessageTo=7155555555@vtext.com

I am sending out 5 emails one after the other and it would send them all to the number that was set in the property field on startup, not the one I changed it to with the above code. I guess refresh might have taken care of the problem. I got around it by using 5 emailers. What are your thoughts on refresh? Or would that send another startup email?

Is it the same message going to all email addresses? If so, have you tried putting them all in MessageTo with a semi-colon separator .

No, the operator can turn on and off receiptants but your idea would likely work if changing the MessageTo property would actually change in the program.

In the end I got this to work, lets not waste any more time with it.
