Momentary pushbutton

[Archie]

I'm not able to replicate this with the same settings you have. Is your button on a Panel or GroupBox?


If the BasicButton is not in your Toolbox, how did you add it to the form?

[boldive]

The button is on the panel.

BasicButton was taken from Toolbox which is part of initial AdvancedHMI project.

I was asking Godra how to add his version of BasicButton into Toolbox.

This is what I get with the same properties of BackColor=Black and HighlightColor=ButtonHighLight

[boldive]

This is weird. I did what you did. Add another BasicButton on the form and on the panel on the form. In both scenarios Highlight True/False works just fine. However, the BasicButtons which I had before don't behave this way.

It looks like I need to delete them and add again. Will update soon.

Thanks for your help!

Why don't you zip up your application and share it via Dropbox, Google drive, etc. Then we can really see what's going on.

Change FlatStyle to standard.

You have errors, to fix add AdvancedHMIControls in the spots that show error:

Code: [Select]

Private SubScriptions As AdvancedHMIControls.SubscriptionHandler


[boldive]

Thanks a lot!  It works now.

Great, by the way, before you send an application strip the bin and obj folders from the four main folders in AHMI.  This will make the size substantially smaller.  The only time you wouldn't want to do this is if the recipient needs it compiled.  Must of us already have studio installed, so we can just rebuild.

Your app looks good so far.  The only thing I would recommend is to try and eliminate the blinking when changing forms.

Thanks for feedback.

After changing  FlatStyle to standard I got errors after build.

All referenced to SubscriptionHandlerEventArg is not defined.
As you have recommended before I add

Code: [Select]

Private SubScriptions As AdvancedHMIControls.SubscriptionHandler
In Solution Explorer under AdvancedHMIControls I see SubscriptionHandlerEventArg.vb
Should I declare it somewhere?

Looks like you need to add "AdvancedHMIControls" on line 559, 566, & 607.  The software will tell you what has an error, you just have to read it and do what it says.

Thank you Phrog30. One of the software suggestions was to add line

Code: [Select]

Implements SubscribtionHandler
at the beginning of class code. Errors are gone.

Today I was online with PLC and see big flickering of indicators connected to Micrologix1400 PLC. On the forms I have 2 com drivers: one for ControlLogix and one for SLC/Micrologix.
Indicators associated with ControlLogix have no problem at all. However, indicators linked to Micrologix have big flickering and randomly changes indicator colors even if PLC bit doesn't change.

Any ideas what it can be?

Thanks

Are you using I:x/x or O:x/x addresses? There is a known issue with physical IO addresses that may cause the problem you are seeing.

[boldive]

Yes, most of them are I:x/x and O:x/x.

So, I need to map them on B3 bits and use B3 in AHMI?

Thanks.
