RE: Want to disable input box without it greying out

Ah I must have been blind before, thanks for pointing it out. And no, changing this global setting would not be an option. Since @MaxOld hat a good idea, this now only leaves the settings to be desired that can only be changed globally like that highlight shadow. I think there need to be more individual ...

I will test this out as soon as I am back on the task! Honestly I question the design, why would an opacity of 200% even be allowed by the system... but I will take this kinda hacky approach gladly for the moment since I won't have to use a custom solution again. Thanks!

In here? Neither of these options does anything like changing opacity 🤔 Also, I would like to change this on a specific style only, not globally. ...

I mean, sure, that's always a fallback, but this question is also more about general design. I can always custom build UI elements. However, when there is a dedicated element by Optix which handles stuff like format conversion in our case and is specifically made for displaying time, then I would also ...

As described in FactoryTalk Optix: How to display date and time I added a (actually two) date and time objects to my UI. I also added a clock logic and hooked everything up. This will serve as a permanent display in the top right corner of the UI. Now, I don't want the date time object to be interactable, ...

RE: Best dataType for folder directory variable?

Thanks for the clarification. Yeah I already got some sample code for turning it into the directory path, it's just awkward to have to create a file in the folder I want to export to, just to be able to target the folder... Hope a data type will be introduced some day.

RE: FTOptix Histogram Bar Color

Hey @sahabat inti, thanks for the reply! I feel like this overshoots the target for me a little bit, since it's two smaller histograms that I want to display on the main page and adding library stuff just for being able to change the color of my histogram is not worth it time wise for me. Though if this ...

Best dataType for folder directory variable?

I would like to adjust a design time alarm import / export script and assign a target folder for exporting alarms to. The NetLogic object itself should have a variable for the export directory path and import file path. Now I am wondering which data type would be optimal to use. Both ResourceUri and ...

Hey Shane, are there any updates on this topic in terms of planned features for individual bar colors? Or maybe some new ideas if I could tackle this with a script? Cheers, Maxi

RE: Sequential animation not letting go of values it controls

Thanks for reminding me of the existence of the ValueChangeAnimation..! My initial intention was to have the lever animation move for a longer time forth and back as to describe it is in an unknown state, which is not really the intention of a ValueChangeAnimation (though one could write a script to ...

Hey, I am trying to animate a lever. The lever's rotation normally is defined by a dynamic link that just changes the rotation from like -20 to 20 degrees to indicate the lever is on the left/right depending on a bit/sensor. Now I also want to animate the same lever with a sequential animation that rotates ...

Thanks for forwarding it and for the support! I would not have walked into this issue if I hadn't had exactly 7 custom converters I suppose 😄 Cheers, Maxi ...

I did some more testing, and found that scrolling starts working again at 8 custom converters. When I have 6 converters, the 6th is still visible but slightly cut off. At 7 custom converters the 7th is not visible and no scrolling is possible. And at 8 converters scrolling is finally possible just the ...

Nope, doesn't work! I already tried that before posting and double checked just now, no success though.I tried different mice (corded, wireless), windowed and full screen. Running on Win11 with Optix 1.7.3.39. Any other things I could try?

I have a couple of custom converters now in my project. When creating a complex dynamic link and hitting "+", a list opens of available converters. However, this list is too short / doesn't have a scrollbar, so selection of my converter is no longer possible. Only when opened in a separate tab, space ...

Thank you for your recommendation, that does work. I wrote a design time netlogic and added a NodeId reference variable to it. There I can manually link the desired variable on the target object (which is somewhat cumbersome...). Is there any better way? Like, is it possible to add my design time functions ...
