Start with a fresh copy of AdvancedHMI, go to Build > Build Solution.  Open MainForm.vb, in the very top of the Toolbox, you'll see AdvancedHMI Components.  Drag/drop FormChangeButton onto the main form.  In the properties (far right side of visual studio), find the property FormToOpen, select Page2.  Run the application and press the button

dmroeder, there is a few more posts in this forum that suggest the same, like these 2:

  - https://www.advancedhmi.com/forum/index.php?topic=2563.msg16237#msg16237

I did bother contributing to your pylogix project since it's open sourced and people can find it useful.

I guess I missed those threads and never made the connection.  Thanks for the contributions!

bachphi, that's nice.

Could you post any more info or screenshots (like setup flow text file and a screenshot)?

I have a repository on GitHub which showcases Node-RED and pylogix / pycomm3 libraries, which can be seen here:

   https://github.com/GitHubDragonFly/Node-RED_PLC_Example

There is also a link to this post so anybody looking for more information can get it here.

Wat!? You're GitHubDragonFly?  I did not know that.

Support Questions / Re: Auto Start?
« on: October 27, 2023, 03:23:14 PM »
I expect this has already been answered somewhere, I just can't find it.  I have developed my project and it works well.  However, I'd rather not ask the operators to click the "start button".  Is there a way to have the project start automatically upon Windows bootup?

Thanx

Just put a shortcut to the executable in the windows startup folder.

  • Windows Key + R
  • type shell:startup
  • Press Enter

This will get you to the startup folder

If it wasn't obvious to you, then there are definitely others, you should post your solution.  I'm definitely curious.

Support Questions / Re: List of tags...
« on: September 29, 2023, 10:48:28 AM »
The tag "MyFloat" is in fact just "MyFloat".  The tag name is not "MyFloat[100]".  You need to look at some additional properties of each tag that is returned.

Code: [Select]
Dim TagList() As AdvancedHMI.Drivers.CLXTag = EthernetIPforCLXCom1.GetTagList
MessageBox.Show(TagList(0).ArrayElements1)

The CIP object that returns the tag database contains other things as well.  In your example, __DEFVAL has to do with AOI definitions.

It is literally PROGRAM, always.  so PROGRAM:"ProgramName".TagName (no quotes).  You don't use routine name, local tags aren't part of a routine, they're part of a program.

I like the irony
Spam to post about anti-spam. Spammers have no limits.

I kinda whish I could meet someone behind stuff like this.  It would be interesting to know the details behind what exactly is going on.  How much of that is automate, how much is human interaction, what tools are being used etc.  As annoying as it is, it's also kind of interesting.

There is a podcast I listened to about people game itunes charts.  You can pay them a few bucks, they'll pump your stuff up to the top.  It all took place out of one country. There was one guy who figured out how to do it, he trained others how to do it, they had their own mini economy of gaming ranks.  Fascinating.

Removed the link and kept the post, I like the irony

To add a little to what Archie is saying, during the VS install process, you need to select ".NET desktop development". This is optional and not selected by default.  You can see the option here (step 6):

Hey skeller2023, welcome!

There hasn't been a lot of new development going on lately.  The support is good though, there are number of really sharp users on here that are active. 

I'm a casual user, I'm not 100% sure what you are asking with regards to limitations, so forgive me if I'm off base here.  As long as you are using AdvancedHMI and adding to it (not taking parts of AHMI and adding them to other projects), then you can do whatever you want.  Whatever you add to your project doesn't necessarily have to be GPL2.  When it comes to deploying your project, you need to give the entire project to the end user to comply with the license.  In other words, you can't just give them the compiled executable, you must give them the entire project.

Not that it really matters but I'm curious about your sources telling you to use the CLX driver.  I can see one or two places being mistaken, certainly not "everywhere".   If it were here, it wouldn't take very long before that was corrected.

As I posted over at the other forum, use EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom driver, not EthernetIPforCLXCom

Any reason for not using the latest version which supports the ReadUDT?

LOL, sometimes I overlook the simple solutions :)  But it was fun to think about.
