Again I am completely new to PLC and HMI. So I studied a little more and got to the point of having a digital meter taking value from the PLC and displaying it.  So I was excited and started to add more items from the toolbox. 

While I am spinning again.  For some reasons, I cannot get back to the editing screen. The vb, designer.vb and resx files can be opened from recently files foulder and I can click start and it will show the display screen.  however I cannot get back to the editing window again.  how can I get back to the editing window? please help.  Thanks.

Is there a general manual out there for beginners? Thanks.

Thanks.  The com port shows in properties/Misc but not properties/(applicationsettings) as in the video.  changed ComPort to Com4 and run it and get a momentary message of "comcomponent property not set".

Hi I just start to learn HMI and have installed the Visual Studio 2017 community and AdvancedHMI.  Having trouble setup the driver.  None of the drivers under toolbox/AdvancedHMIDriver Components will display the information as shown in the AdvancedHMI Quick Start video under Properties/(applicationSettings) to allow set up the Com components properties.  Please help! Thanks. Alvin

FYI: the PLC is AB Micrologix PLC 1000 which is connected to com4 (a USB port) of my laptop by a USB1761CBLPM02 cable.
