x2 Pro, iX Developer & Internet Explorer

[DPClearmarkSolutions]

Hi

I am new to the x2 Pro and iX developer.

What I’m trying to achieve:-
Open up a web page on the x2 Pro to connect to our printers web server.
How I normally achieve this on a Proface HMI is by a script on a button to open up Internet Explorer from Windows CE, Saving the IP address in the favourites of Internet Explorer and put the IP address into the compatibility mode of Internet Explorer settings.

What I’ve tried:-

Using iX Developer I’ve used the web browser function and put in the IP address of the printers web server, this did not work, I put in the google address and I could fetch up the google page. (All the obvious things are ok, IP address and subnet mask, I can ping each device from my computer on the local network and I can open the web server up of the printer from my computer)

So I believe the web browser function on iX is basic, is there a way I can do it like I do on the Proface.
This would mean I would need to access Internet Explorer in the Windows CE platform and put the IP of the web server in compatibility mode, and then create a link to open it from the x2 Pro interface.

If anybody has any ideas how to do this that would be very much appreciated.

Kindest Regards

David

I've tested this browser on our panels and it seems to be more functional than the built in browser.

The version I used to test was: Windows CE 2013 20170216

After extracting the .RAR file to my Project Files folder, I use the script to launch it from a button.

Hi Russ!
Can you upload the script or teach us how to do it??

Thank you,
Andrea

EDIT:
I try putting this code into "Button" script on X2pro12 (after uncrompress ZKBrowserWEC2013_20170216.rar inside "Project Files" folder:

Code: Select all

namespace Neo.ApplicationFramework.Generated
{
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    using System;
    using System.Drawing;
    using Neo.ApplicationFramework.Tools;
    using Neo.ApplicationFramework.Common.Graphics.Logic;
    using Neo.ApplicationFramework.Controls;
    using Neo.ApplicationFramework.Interfaces;
    using System.Diagnostics;
    
    
    public partial class Grafici
    {			
		void Button_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			string path = @"\\";
			Process.Start("zk_browser.exe", path);
		}		
	
    }
}

But when I click on Button the Panel hangs showing the black screen "Welcome to X2 pro 12". I need to cycle power to restart the panel.

What we've to do????
