RE: FT Optix style sheet dynamic link

Could you post the expression in your expression evaluator? Using the (Window)/Width alias should be able to be evaluated since it this object is under the UI folder. I had issues earlier in my experience when I was trying to create a dynamic link to the (Session) alias in a Converter in the converters ...

Alt+Enter is what you're looking for. (Edit) I didn't read your entire post before replying, oops. But I see your issue and it is a bit odd that Alt+Enter doesn't work, it seems as though it ignores the Alt and takes the Enter keystroke as if you're done with editing. I haven't found myself editing ...

@Emre Karakaya I'm not sure if you just put the IP in of the ethernet card or not, but when you access a PLC through a Ethernet module you need to direct it to the slot of the PLC on the backplane. E.g. "[Your IP]\Backplane\0" where you have to use the forward slashes specifically. I ran into this recently ...

You are correct that one functions correctly though that is the one that I configured manually to get the screenshot I used in my post. I have used the vector editor/matrix editor in some place but in this instance the spinbox is just a component that I have but I was also using combo boxes though I'm ...

I'm working on some designtime netlogic where I'm creating a set of UI elements where the values in them change based on a spinbox. E.G. I have a group of 30 UI elements that are being used to display a portion of an array of 120 and I am trying to get to the point where I have a spinbox that would ...

In some global netlogic I created an exported method that I call when the values need to be updated and that appears to have done the trick.

The story continues, now that I have the converters updating in netlogic I made the observation that the UI elements on screen with the converters have stale data when switching directly from the screen where the data is modified and the Key-Value converters were updated. The sequence of events goes ...

As is typical for me after my last post I was able to figure out what I needed to do not to long after posting. I believe I just need some time to get used to how some of the Optix API calls happen in addition to familiarizing myself some more with instances where things are Nodes vs Objects. The thing ...

I've now gotten to the point where I can create a Key-Value converter but now the thing I'm attempting to figure out is how remove existing key-value pairs, or update the data within them. It seems like the easiest thing to do would be to wholesale replace the "Pairs" ValueMapConverter type in the converter ...

After slightly more searching I was able to find what I was looking for in the Netlogic cheat sheet. It was just not in the place I was expecting it to be, I found it under dynamic links. I believe with that I have the tools to accomplish what I was looking to do. As always I really appreciate the ...

I appreciate the help though my brain is moving a bit slow currently, interacting with the database makes sense to me but the disconnect that I'm having at the moment is getting the information from the queryResult into the Key-Value Converter, that is unless you're suggesting just mapping the query ...

Could you either provide a bit of context or point me to an example of what you're referring to there? I'm guessing this would all be happening in netlogic? I would query the table with the information I need in netlogic, which I know how to do, but I'm not sure what needs to happen to get that information ...

Gotcha. I'll put that in my lexicon of things to consider, at least in this application using the Optix APIs is sufficient for my needs so I don't necessary need that ODBC Datastore.

I also wanted to mention this for anyone who wasn't aware in Logix v34 or later there is a DT datatype that is compatible with the Datetime datatype in Optix without any addition modification. You can get this information from a logix controller by executing the following GSV rung.

@asemlucben an observation that I made just a moment ago since I don't normally use the ODBC Databases in most of my Optix applications so far that could be problematic in some situations depending on the size of the runtime license being used is that when that ODBC Datastore is created it consumes a ...

In the application I'm working on a screen where the user can input a number in a spinbox and based off the value of the spin box other labels in the display other columns of the database based on the value selected in the spinbox.

Gotcha. I had an embedded database setup in the the project view already. In between my post and your reply I got it working with the Optix API calls but I'll add an ODBC Database and see if that lets me do it the way I had it originally planned. And to reiterate I was using Microsoft.Data.SQLite not ...

I'm working on some slightly more complicated Data handling in netlogic where I'm dealing with data coming from a Rockwell PLC in conjunction with some data stored in a SQLite database that are used as enumerations for the data coming from the PLC.

Both are things I've considered. I believe the most reasonable method and the one I considered the best in this situation is what you suggested first. As this is an application where depending on the customer where this project or a variant of it is deployed the number of rows and columns in the ...
