External program check

Hi GoranW!

If you want to start other applications on a panel you cant use the user32.dll becuse it don´t exists. But there is a code.dll instead.

Have a look at this post first and see if it helps, if not let us know.

Hi Edmund

im kind of new with this and really need some help

This isnt same problem as the head line, but i have 2 T15C screens and working with ix2.0

I want to be able to take the control of the other screen using Remote Desktop Connection. So i saved the connection, put it in the Windows file, and used the Run action in ix. At first it works, but the "connection" ends up behind the ix program and i cant reach it, altough i can see it in my toolbar and if i close the ix program its visible.

Can i in someway make it appear on top of everything so i can start the connection and then get back to the program when i am done ?

i can also press the button many times and for everytime it starts a new "connection". how can i stop that if i only want it to start once ?

Best regards Jesper

You can set whether or not the iX project is always on top.

In C# you should be able to detect whether or not a particular application is running on the screen. Then you can use an if statement to decide whether or not to launch your Remote Desktop Application.

Is there a way to Open a "note pad" application on a T7A HMI?
The reason why I am asking is that down the road I might need to edit a NC program code as Txt file in the HMI environment and using an already existing Editor would help ding so.
Any Ideas?
At this moment it is not a "hot topic" for me but this could happen sooner than later.

Greetings
Would appreciate any ideas.
