Use of Advanced HMI button to start a batch file

[Aparajit]

Just wondering, whether I can use Advanced HMI in non PLC environment, executing a program, start a file etc.

It's .Net so yes. Search the web and you will get tons of info.

Thanks dmroeder! As I look at the property of the button, for address_click, normally I give reference to the bit address. Where do I write the code, Process.Start (file path)?

Just use a regular button. Drag and drop, double click and it will bring up the code.

Yeah sorry, I should have been more specific.  As @MajorFault said, double click the button, this will will bring you to the code editor, specifically, the button click event.  Put the code I mentioned in there.  The "PathToBatchFile" is obviously the windows path to your file "C:\MyBatchFile.bat", process.start accepts a string, so the path will need quotes around it.
