What works for me is setting the opacity to 200 of individual elements that should look identical when disabled.

RE: Session Scale Factor Problem with Keyboards

Good to know, however the alphanumerical keyboard already only uses row/column layouts but still has the issue of the gaps not being correct. As you can see in the image above, the size of the keyboard, keys and pre-edit input all scale as they should, but the gap does not. Its not as noticable as with ...

Session Scale Factor Problem with Keyboards

Hello there, I am currently trying to scale my project from a 15" to a 12" panel (Scale Factor ~ 0,7) . Everything in the project perfectly converts to the smaller size, except for the gaps between keys on a custom keyboard/numpad. For the alphanumeric keyboard the gaps stay the same, so everything ...

RE: Trigger Events from Keyboard Buttons (FT Optix)

Thank you for the quick answer! While I have no problem with advanced features, this seems like a lot of compexity for the goal of hearing a sound for pressing these specific buttons. And as I am only using a virtual keyboard I think I will stick with my current solution which works for almost all Elements. ...

Trigger Events from Keyboard Buttons (FT Optix)

Hello, I am working on an FT Optix Project that uses an external acoustic feedback when interacting with (almost) any HMI element. Basically whenever you press a switch or button a signal is emitted from the signal horn. I have a small script with an external method that I call from each element ...

RE: Optix, NetLogic Read/Write access complex UDT from PLC.

Hey, Phil also mentioned that the tag structure is readonly, which is something I struggled with as well. As soon As I ".RemoteRead" the structure I can still find all subUDT values but they are listed as a Readonly list. Am I doing something wrong there? The only solution I was able to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. -------------------------------------------

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
