Hi, Archie, I have the same issue. I have downloaded the patch from your link. Since I am a newbie for VB. Could you show me the steps to add the patch?

I have found four files with the same name as the patch (MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.dll) in the AdvancedHMI folder.

One in the Debug bin of AdvancedHMI.
One in the Debug bin of AdvancedHMIControls.
One in the Debug bin of AdvancedHMIDrivers.
One in the Support of AdvancedHMIDrivers.

Should I just replace all of them with the new patch?

Also I haven't expressed my gratitude the other day as you answered my question so quickly and patiently. I really like working with AdvancedHMI, it is such a useful tool and I really appreciate you share it with us.

Hi, Archie, I have downloaded Version 3.99s and working with it. But I still can not get the second page to work well. I am using EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom1. Everything is working well in the MainForm. I have put the same EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom1 in the second page. On the second page I have also put a illuminate button. But I cannot read from PLC. Is there any other Code set up I should do? I really appreciate your help on this.

Here are the steps that I did , worked for me.

1. Open solution & MainForm.
2. Build the project.
3. Drag & Drop EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom1 driver onto the form change ip address
4. Drag & Drop a basic label, scroll down to PLCAddressvalue and put something like N7:0
5. Drag & Drop  FormChangebutton and select FormToOpen to page2
6. Open Page 2.
7.  Drag & Drop EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom1 driver onto the form change ip address
8.  Drag & Drop a basic label, scroll down to PLCAddressvalue and put something like N7:1
9. Run your project

Hi, bachphi,

Thank you for the reply. I have done the exact same thing you described and the basic label on second page is still not working properly.
The main form works well.

I have

5. Drag & Drop  FormChangebutton and select FormToOpen to page2
6. Open Page 2.
7.  Drag & Drop EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom1 driver onto the form change ip address
8.  Drag & Drop a basic label, select the ComComponent to EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom1,
scroll down to PLCAddressvalue and put something like N7:1.

Hi, bachphi,

I have restarted a clean program just to make sure I have done anything wrong. I did the same as you did but still
can not get value on the second page. The first page (main form) works well. I really don't know what I have done wrong.

[bachphi]

lol, why dont you d/l the "t" version and try it again.
I will be d/l it soon.

[Archie]

I created a sample project with two pages communicating with a MicroLogix. You can download it from here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/advancedhmi/files/advancedhmi/3.5/SampleProjects/

It is the project named EthernetSLCMainMenuStyle

You should be able to just edit the PLC.ini file to set the IP address of your PLC and run the program.

lol, poor guy. I guess he will come back with something like "I cant d/l because I dont have a sourceforge account"

Hi, Archie,

Thank you for the sample program. It works well on the second page.

One thing is that I have also downloaded the 3.99s and it also worked well.

Yesterday I did the very same thing with 3.99t, but it didn't work.

Anyway I am so happy that the program worked and I really appreciate your time and help.
