Re: Change Brightness Levels

Is there a method to have this setting persist through power on? If I set an initial value the display will always set that value when it powers on. If I don't set an initial value the display defaults to 0 brightness. Attempting this: void SystemTagBacklightBrightnessLevel_ValueChange(System.Object...

Block Modbus Writes

Is there any way to control the modbus write commands? I'd like to write a whole block at once instead of sequentially. Each tag has a .Write method but it looks like the modicon driver does each write command immediately and doesn't automatically group them like with reads.

Re: Tag to Open File in PDF Viewer

What's the full path on the device its self? I'm getting an error at runtime where it can't find the file but I've put it in every possible location. It's getting installed (you can browse manually and find it using the open button) but I can't figure out the path. I've even tried just setting at co...

Application Start Function/event

Hi I'd like to run a script immediately when the app starts and I'm looking for what would be the best way to do this. Right now, all I can think of is sticking a call in my startup screen. I don't really like putting a call in my current startup screen because that's a little error prone (easy to c...

Re: Trendviewer History Control via Script

I think I might know what happened. I thought the button I was working with only had actions setup in the script environment... turns out I had a "Toggle" setup through the ui so they were likely fighting each other.

Trendviewer History Control via Script

Hi, wondering if anyone else has encountered issues with this because I can't explain it. For whatever reason, in order to turn on the history for a trendviewer via script I'm having to turn it "Off". Here's the code I've got on a start/stop button: void startButton_Click(System.Object sender, Syste...

Popup window closing

Hi, Anyone else done a confirmation popup and drove an event back to the originating screen? The trouble I'm having is getting the event back to the originating screen. I can watch for tag values changing or do things within the popup window but I can't figure out how to (for instance) change the vi...

Popup window minimum width

Is there a minimum width for popups? I have one defined as a small 70x70 but when it runs, it looks more like 150x70. If I make the popup larger it works as expected. I tested a blank popup defined as 5x5 but at runtime it looks roughly like ~150x30.

Persistent Menu Best Practice

What's the best way to have a persistent menu in iX? From what I can tell, there seems to be two ways to populate a the same menu onto many screens. Either create a template screen, or set it up in a background screen. Setting it up as a background is definitely easiest from what I can tell but ther...

Projects on Network Drives

Strange error, anyone else see this? I can save/work on projects stored on network drives without trouble but they don't simulate. Works a-ok from my local drive. It doesn't really give any errors, best way I can describe it is nothing happens. The button responds, looks like it's about to launch, a...
