Setting IP Address for EthernetIPforCLXCom from .ini file

[scott.clark]

I would like to read a .ini file on startup and set the IP address of the EthernetIPforCLXCom driver.  How would I go about doing this?

Thanks!

In the AdvancedHMI project there is a directory named SampleIniFiles.

- Drag CLX.ini out of the folder and to the top level of the project
- With CLX.ini file selected, go to the Properties Window and select Copy To Output Directory to Copy If Newer
- In the driver instance, in the IPAddress property put CLX.ini
- Edit the CLX.ini file to set the IPAddress you want

Works great, thanks!

I have a new project, using version AdvHMI3.99w, and have not been able to get this method to work.

I have the MainForm with driver: EthernetIPforCLXCom1
property IPAddress  is set as "CLX.INI"

CLX.INI file contains:
[EthernetIPforCLXCom1]
IPAddress=192.168.1.100


It works fine with the 192.168.1.100 set directly in the driver, but when using the INI file method, the screen objects do not populate. 

What am I missing?

Check in your bin\Debug directory and make sure the CLX.ini file is getting placed there. Make sure you have INIFileName property set to CLX.ini and INIFileSection set to EthernetIPforCLXCom1

Thanks, I had missed the added properties in the driver since I had used it last.

Works, Great
