I only found this works on folders as seen below. Under the Maintenance folder I have two IODiagnostics screens. (need to make more) I created the first one and just duplicated the second. When I want to search and replace it of course replaces on the first also because the search/replace function just ...

I have a question about the search feature. Is there a way to search within a single graphic, similar to the find/replace function in PV where you could search a display and swap out values as needed? I'm duplicating a window that lives inside a folder and only need to change some I/O references - for ...

I have been creating some widgets and all is working great. My question comes in as I develop this widget I am adding variables that will then be tied to PLC tags once I use them in different screens. I have added some functions for visibility and would like to rearrange the order of the tags and have ...

Alright something to think about over the weekend. :) Actually it is probably something simple I am missing. I want to use the "Tile" design from the features 2 demo but ran into one hiccup. Under Navigation is the tiles for each location. For instance the UI Design Under this there are tiles ...

Example - PLC tag has 210 in it. I want it displayed as 2.1. I also want to be able to use the buttons on the spinbox to modify the value and increment in tenths. First we tried using a linear converter with an expression evaluator. which kind of worked, but I wanted to use the buttons and ...

Thanks, and it does work that way. Question though I am hoping I can use the buttons on the spinbox. Let's say the number I have in there is 210 (displayed 2.10) When I use the buttons to increase for example it makes it 310. When using the spinbox directly without any math it goes from 210 to 211, etc. ...

RE: FT Optix Runtime Title Bar

That's what I suspected, though I wasn't sure if there was an option to disable it, similar to PanelView. I figured i could probably test through a web browser, but it seems like a lot more just to run an emulator and test my project. My UI elements are tightly spaced, and the title bar is causing some ...

Is there a way to turn off the title bar when running it in emulator on your computer? I have my computer resolution set to the optix panel and want a true rendering of what it will look like. However, when I emulate it has the title bar on top which adjusts items and I do not have a true display ...

Thank you that does help clarify. Unfortunately, we have VLANs for different machine areas.
