RE: Conversion of FTVME Information Messages to Optix

Posted By MaxOld Mar 09, 2026 02:30:44 AM

Hi, An enumeration type sounds like a nice solution as well. However, I really liked Adam Ackermans solution of using it in a similar manner than alarms and only controlling it from the PLC. -------------------------------------------

Hello, Our program uses FT View ME Information Messages and I would like to use those in a similar manner in Optix. (Basically a key value converter with the trigger value and the message that is displayed in the dialogBox when that trigger value is detected) However I would like some advice on ...

RE: ListView for tag arrays

Thank you very much. In case someone plans to use the script "From PLC to Model" to work with Listviews 2 things have to be considered: it copies every parameter including "BlockRead" and "SymbolName". Depending on the use case and the project size these are not necessary and the script should skip ...

Thank you for your help! I tried some combinations of local Variables and connecting those to the PLC Tag, but it appears it only works with objects. The project is appended. In my main project I have multiple instances of potential ListView apges. These contain Switches, TextBoxes, ...

Hello, i started experimenting with the new ListView. I have an array of UDTs for which I would like to use the Listview. Basically every array element should get a row. However when setting the ListViewRow/Rowitem/kind to my UDT, the ListView/Model to the array of UDTs in Commdrivers and the ...

RE: Optix: Closing virtual keyboard

Interesting. I will test that. What I found ist that when you disable the keyboard it closes. However you have to enable it again after some milliseconds. If not you can not open it again. -------------------------------------------

Hello, I am currently working with virtual keyboards in Optix. Is there a way to close a keyboard via script? In certain situations I would like to be able to close the keyboard without the user having to click somewhere outside the keyboard. Kind Regards ------------------------------- ...

RE: OptixPanel Webbrowser query strings

Thank you for your help! While typing out my previous reply I realized that it most likely is not going to be a very simple solution and I would need to write a script anyway. Which is what I did today. So now everytime Optix starts, I check whether the html/js needs to be altered and do the required ...

I have to be honest that my html and server knowledge is very limited. I only received a folder with html files and javascripts that I have to implement into the Optix HMI. As these contain the documentation/manual they vary for each machine. This is why I would like to avoid changing the javascripts ...

OptixPanel Webbrowser query strings

Hello! I am working with an html-document and show it in a webbrowser on an OptixPanel. On Windows I can pass query parameters like index.html?id=ID0E1PGQ. However with the OptixPanel I am unable to do so. I tried the Rest-web-ws-server from the Optix-github. It works in the emulator, but it does ...

You are absolutely right, the problem for the regular button was on my end. To make it easier for operators I use a transparent button overlay that is bigger than the button itself and used mouse down/up to colour the button. I need to rework that in some way. Sorry! The momentary button However ...

Good to know, then I will try that again! I am sorry, I didn't phrase that properly. Yes, Optix can differentiate between them, but the following elements apparently use a mousedown interaction and I would be very happy if Optix would not instantly open them but check whether the person is scrolling ...

Thanks for the quick reply! That makes sense, as the scrollbar I see in the datagrid most likely is not the scrollview but the scroll function of the datagrid itself. I hoped I could jump to a line with either but was unable to do so. However the problem remains that in a datagrid I can not jump to ...

Sadly the features demo favorites did not meet my requirements. I already built something else and only need to fix some niche cases where the label is set with a string formatter instead of a string or localized text. Thank you for your ideas though! -------------------------------------- ...

Thank you for your detailed reply! The problem is, that I have some string formatters that only appear once in the project for specific labels. I hoped I could just link a label.Text to the string formatter somewhere else in the project, but when that string formatter is not loaded on the panel ...

I think that could work. The underlying problem is, that I am building a favorite page which needs to rebuild components from other pages. Therefore, it is not one fixed string formatter but rather different ones depending on the component that was set as a favorite. The backup idea would be to rebuild ...
