« on: January 17, 2023, 11:10:50 AM »

Hey, does anyone know if its possible to display a video in advanced hmi, and if thats possible could you display different videos depending on plc output? I'm trying to display a different short video depending on what button I press.

Yes I included it.

Code: [Select]

Private Sub DataSubscriber21_DataChanged(sender As Object, e As Drivers.Common.PlcComEventArgs) Handles DataSubscriber21.DataChanged
        MyStringLabel.Text = ""
        For i = 0 To e.Values.Count - 1
            MyStringLabel.Text &= Convert.ToChar(e.Values(i))
        Next
    End Sub

Now the program is throwing this error message at me.


  Message=String must be exactly one character long.
  Source=mscorlib
  StackTrace:
   at System.Convert.ToChar(String value, IFormatProvider provider)
   at System.Convert.ToChar(String value)
   
  This exception was originally thrown at this call stack:
    [External Code]
    MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.MainForm.DataSubscriber21_DataChanged(Object, MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.Common.PlcComEventArgs) in MainForm.vb
    AdvancedHMIControls.DataSubscriber2.DataChangedSync(Object) in DataSubscriber2.vb

Thanks for the response! I've tried the solution but the build keeps failing. It says that events is not a part of of Event.Args. Do I need to change these values in the code you sent me? Here is how I have the code at the end

Private Sub MyStringLabel_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyStringLabel.Click
        For i = 0 To e.Values.Count - 1
            MyStringLabel.Text &= Convert.ToChar(e.Values(i))
        Next
    End Sub
End Class

I'm trying to output what my barcode reader sends to the PLC on the display of advanced HMI. Currently the plc recieved the barcode string as a series of sints with each sint being a letter or number in ascii. What tool should I add to my hmi program to display this barcode?

Support Questions / Image display by value but for gifs

« on: January 16, 2023, 12:14:19 PM »

Hello, is there currently any function to display an gif on my hmi. I want to use a bit in my plc to play a gif on my hmi based on an outcome. I know I can use image display by value for pngs but I specifically want something animated.
