AUTO return to Startup screen

[Kardanas]

Good day,

I was wondering is there function that after some time of inactivity application returns to startup screen?
(operators tend to leave settings screen and since startup screen usually is used as process parameters monitoring scree - they can miss


Thank you.

Here is an example of a Script Module modified from a VNC Disconnect script.

Script Module Name is : "Inactivity_screen" be sure to create the

Code: Select all

void Inactivity_screen_Created(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)

by clicking on the left side
Change

Code: Select all

Globals.Screen1.Show();

to the name of your home screen.

You will need additional tags to the project(all are INT16, ReadWrite):
System_InacticityTimeBeforeLogout: Set Initial Value to time taken before screen changes
Mouse_Move_Hysterisis: Amount of mouse moment to count as activity
In_Act_Time_Acc: Time accumulated inactive. If reaches System_InacticityTimeBeforeLogout value will change screen.

Code: Select all

I would like to put another check that only counts up when you are on any page that isnt home so it isnt always changing even after already being moved to the correct page. Ex: if(Globals.Screen1.Active == false) but I dont think that exists and you might have to do something with a bit tag to flag it being displayed or not.
