ME Chart Control - can I make a "filled" trend curve?

Posted By Jake104E Mar 14, 2023 08:45:00 AM
Found In Egroup: Advanced Software \ view thread
I want to use the ME Chart Control in FTview SE 10.0 (as it has been pointed out here in this Forum, that it also works for SE). I have looked at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBT8aKgbIiE And will soon have the UDTs and relevant tags created for me to test it. Now - I am doing ...

Exactly! This display had "yes" in "Cache After Displaying" in Display Settings. When unchecked - the VBA unloads. Thank you. Now - I wonder what the best setting is? I assume that caching will load displays faster - but also use memory. ------------------------------ Jake104E ---- ...

RE: How to use the XY Plot Object in FTview13

Thanks Philip. OK - so I am back to the previously suggested ChartEx. My reluctance was "replacing one ActiveX with another ActiveX" - but if the v13 XY-Plot cannot do what I am looking for - then I will have to try ChartEx. And hope it works in FTVSE. I already have all my chart data in a ...

Quite frustrating though... already on day two I suspected the ActiveX - but as the crash seemed random, I spent some time on "stabilizing" the solution, before I made more systematic investigation. Here I got sidetracked by the apparent stability of an early version and I looked at "new changes" since ...

How to use the XY Plot Object in FTview13

I have 6 x 200 tags with data. Each 200 tags must be displayed as a curve, where the value of the tag is on the Y-axis, and the X-value is a 0-199 position on the x-axis. These tags are updated every 2 seconds. I have previously used a 3rd-party active-X - but as this has made my application ...

After exhausting testing, elimination of code, comparison with earlier versions etc. I believe I have found the root cause of the crash: I am using a "TeeChart" ActiveX control to make a special X-Y-scatter chart. Such a chart type is not available in FTview10 - hence the use of a 3rd-party object. ...

I have just installed all Windows updates in my VM. But the FTview still crashes at some point. Here the crash is 22:39:36 The Event Viewer - "Windows Logs - Application" shows no trace of that.

Hi Bob, I have seen this thread - as I also googled this event when I looked in my Windows log three days ago. I am not that comfortable with all the not very specific suggestions. But I may just update Windows on the VM where I have my installation - and hoping this will solve the problem. It is ...

I have a screen with a footer, a header and a main display. Footer and header is always there, but the main display changes based on buttons in the footer. When the application is running and the VBA Window is open, the VBA-modules of the three open pictures are shown in the project tree of the VBA Window. ...

I did that Friday - to a VM with FTview 13.0 with a roll-up from September - and Windows 10 with all updates at that time (because that's when I made the VM). Installed the APA-backup of the FTview 10.0 installation. It started up - but I could make it fail with intensive navigation between displays. ...

Hi Bob. I agree. In my many years of programming it has always come down to a logic error in my own code. OK - not entirely - there have been a few very exotic issues (at least one...) - where I stumbled into a known issue of the underlying software. And I frankly don't expect that to be the case ...

Can I disable a button in FTview 10.0? I have a button that I want to disable for a short time - and then enable it again. How can that be done in FTview 10.0? In iFix or WinCC a property on the object can be set to enabled/disabled. When disabled, the object is "grayed out" and does not accept ...

I want to run some VBA-code when a display is completely loaded - i.e. all elements are loaded. The Load-event seems to run when the display starts to load. Is that so - or what? And what event should I then use? ------------------------------ Jake104E ------------------------------

It appears that the crash is related to a command where I change the active display. I use the VBA statement Application.ExecuteCommand ("Display Picture1") where the "Picture1" is a .gfx file. In the help to this statement it says: The ExecuteCommand method is asynchronous and therefore ...

Tried following the link - but despite a TechConnect on my account - somehow I cant see anything. Anyway - it is a 3rd party solution. I today use TeeChart - and it works with FTview 10.0.
