Click event using Basic Button Advance HMI
« on: June 22, 2016, 03:49:37 PM »
I am trying to Perform Click using VB.Net code to Click Basic Button (Advanced HMI) .

'Set up another button to Click Button BT!, which is windows button and it works fine.

Public Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Me.BT1.PerformClick()
    End Sub
When I try it on AdvancedHMI button it does not work.
btbStop is PLC stop button.

I want to use the Click to change bits in PLC. Thus if I can activated Button in code, I can make it work.

Public Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Me.btbStop.PerformClick()
    End Sub

Any Ideas.

Thanks

Archie

This will not work because the BasicButton does not perform its PLC writing during a Click event, instead it uses the MouseDown and MouseUpEvent.

Is your objective to write to the PLC within another part of your code?

Yes:
My objective is to write to PLC  depending on the certain parameters in my program. Mostly just a bit.

You will need to write the values using the driver instance directly. For instance, if you are using the ModbusTCP driver:

ModbusTCPCom1.Write("40001","1")
