Progress bar how-to

[Jan.Eckert]

Dear Beijer Support Team,
I would like to use the Progress bar in my project and don't know how. Once the object (progress bar) is placed on the screen the selection field for the Tag is grayed-out. How do I associate the Tag with this object ?

Thanks in advance
Jan

You need to go to dynamics and set it there. The progress bar is in the "Windows Controls" section of the screen Objects, indicating that it is a Windows control, not a normal iX Dev control. Which is why you use it differently than the other controls in iX Dev.

Thanks Marc,
so if the dynamics/general button is grayed-out in my project for the T10A, that probably means it's not support by my hardware ?

Thanks
Jan

If you can place the object on a screen, then you should have access to all the dynamic properties of the object, regardless of what HMI you are using. Sometimes when people convert from one HMI type to another, iX Dev will leave objects on the screen which are not supported. But if you can create a new object, then you know that it is supported.

You probably didn't click on the progress bar object, and that is why your Dynamics field is grayed out.
