Re: update text box before showing pop up screen

I did not get the chance to try Ron's solution, but setting the tag to "always active" worked. Thanks, Edmund!

update text box before showing pop up screen

I have a pop up screen with a text box on it. The text box has a bunch of different messages that are controlled with a tag. My PLC sets that tag to pick a certain message, and then it changes the New Screen variable to show the pop up. The one annoying thing about it is that the pop up always shows...

Re: is it possible to minimize iX or alt-tab?

Success! Thanks again, Edmund! Here is some more information for future readers of this topic who want to know why you would do this in the first place: It is possible to open VisionView (or whatever program you are using) from iX with a button (as described in my earlier post) and then just close t...

Re: is it possible to minimize iX or alt-tab?

Edmund, you are a force to be reckoned with. Thanks so much for all that code! After some trial and error, the window-switching part of the code is working great: IntPtr windowHandle = FindWindow(null, "VisionView"); if(windowHandle.ToInt32() > 0) SetForegroundWindow(windowHandle); The program-launc...

Re: is it possible to minimize iX or alt-tab?

After posting, I searched more and found this thread, which is exactly what I need (Edmund's post at the bottom). http://ixtalk.beijerelectronics.us/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1282&p=2726&hilit=focus#p2726 But I have a panel rather than a PC, so that code doesn't work for me. I also don't know what the nam...

is it possible to minimize iX or alt-tab?

I have a T10A HMI running iX. On the same machine, I have a Cognex vision system. I was able to install Cognex's VisionView software on the T10A HMI, and launch it from my iX interface. Once it's running, I can minimize it or put it behind iX, but once I do that, I can't get it back in front. I need...

Re: disabling the Title Bar on Popup Screens

Ah, I see. So we're talking about the title bar on the emulator window within the iX developer rather than something on your actual HMI. I never would have guessed that from the post's title. I'm surprised that's a frequently asked question. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to clear that up. Sorr...

Re: disabling the Title Bar on Popup Screens

For me, there isn't a title bar on normal screens regardless of which of those options I choose. I think I'm missing something here. Thanks anyway. From what you guys have said, it seems like that post has nothing to do with pop ups, so I would think the title should be changed (from "How do I disab...
