Open Discussion / Re: Where is the Numeric Input?

Thanks again Archie.

Does my version of Advanced HMI have the numeric input?

I would like to upgrade to VS 2010, but for some reason the installer never works on my work computer, possibly the slow connection to the internet.  Also the IT department where I work is lame and I don't want to get them involved.  The only reason I was able to install VB 2008 Express is because I was able to download the complete installation .iso file and didn't need to be connected to the internet to install it.  Is there any way to get around that?  Thanks again for all your help.

Hello all;

Just wondering, where is the numeric input pad I see in the screenshots.  Or is it called something else?  I have Advanced HMI ver. 3.21 because it seems to be the only one that works with Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks;
Tony

Ok, I figured it out; I added the path to the program in the parenthases.  For example;

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Documents and Settings\electrician\My Documents\MD20\md20ldrw.exe")


Thanks for your help Archie ;-)

Hay Archie;

Thanks that worked perfectly.  Now I just need to know where on the system to place my program so that the HMI can launch it instead of IExplore.exe.  Thanks for your help

Hello all;

I'm new to Advanced HMI.  I have been playing with it and was able to link some indicators to a CLX controller.  I think it's very intuitive and seems to be easier to work with than RSView, big Kudos to the developers.

However, I have a project in which I will need to be able to launch another application from the HMI.  I think it would be great if I could use the Multi-form Demo button to launch the application, and also be able to close and return back to the HMI.  Is this kind of thing currently possible?
Any Ideas or input would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Tony
