Recipe saving name

Post by jmsmoreira »

Hi there,

Is there a way, that when you change and save a recipe, to show the current recipe name, instead of having to write the entire name again?

There is no way to do that. The recipe dialog box that comes up when you use the actions is not modifiable. Rather than typing in the recipe name, you can simply press the recipe that you want to modify and that will put the name in the save line so you do not need to type it in.

There is a system tag that can be used to display the latest loaded recipe.

How do you get that dialog?

I'm using the Save Recipe action, and all I get is the keyboard to write the name I want to use.
I don't get a list with the existing recipes.

By the way I'm using the IxTA panel.

The setting I am using is below. What version of iX Developer are you using and what HMI do you have as your target? I am using version 1.31.121 and targeting the QTERM A7.

The "System Tags" dialog can be displayed from the down arrow in "Tags".

I'm using IX 1.31.93.0 in an IXT10A.

I found what is happening, is that the virtual keyboard is appearing on the front of the Save recipe dialog.

If I press escape I can the same dialog as the one you posted.

Is there any way that I can stop the keyboard to be shown?

Yes, but it stops it from being shown for the entire project. There is no way to selectively enable/disable the keyboard and have the change only affect the Recipe dialog box.
