Message Handler

[ddddd13]

Archie;

I cannot remember how the Message Handler works. I know I need to enter the SMPT info, but what calls the message handler itself. Example, I have a button called send message. How does that run the message handler. Also there is a variable in the property called Value. Is that the # in the emailer that will be used? Example 5 would use the fifth line in the file which has the number of the person to email, the time to wait, the number of the second person to email, the time to wait, and the number of the third person to email.

Thanks,
Dave

The value indicates the message number and a change in value will initiate sending an email as defined in the AlarmToEmail.txt

The first digit in AlarmToEmail.txt indicates the message number

I assume the following is what you mean by changing the value. Keep in mind it starts with 0
MessageHandler1.Value = 1

It does not work. We tested MessageHandlerPLC I don't remember if we tested MessageHandler.

I have tried sending from three different email servers including yours.

Any more ideas?

- Set EnableEventLogging to True
- Run the Application
- Post the contents of ErrorLog.txt and EventLog.txt

VS SUCKS!!!!
Why do they think they are better at deciding when and what to save. They Crashed another form. If I was able to save it when I wanted to and not have to worry about them overwritting I could simply go back to the last copy and start over without having to redesign the entire form. How %&*#@
stupid.

Any time you run the application Visual Studio will save all the files, so you will at least have up until the last time you ran the application.

Now I have a blank form. On this page is supposed to be 48 radio buttons. if I try to load a radio button from the tool box it labels it radio button 49. How can I delete the form to get rid everything associated with the form and start over?

- Windows -> Close All Documents
- Close Visual Studio
- Re-open the project in VS
- Build->Rebuild Solution
- In Solution Explorer double click the form you want to open

I did one better I rebooted restarted VS and loaded operator reports. Blank Screen. The code is there yet but the controls are not on the screen.

With VS 2019, it is important to close all document because it has a startup bug when a design view is open.

In VS2019, "Reopen documents on solution load" is actually a good option to uncheck (Found in Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions):

How do I now get rid of that form to start over.

If you are sure you want to completely delete it with no recovery possible, then right click it in Solution Explorer and select Delete

[ddddd13]

I did as you suggested now I have a copy of the correct form in the second solution. But again I cannot right click and click use existing as the form operator reports.vb[Design] or any form with [Design] are not found. In other words how do I get that back to the first solution that has the corrupted designer form?

In the second solution in Solution Explorer, right click AdvancedHMI project and select Open Folder in File Explorer.
Do you then see these 2 files?

OperatorReports.designer.vb
OperatorReports.vb
