Use labels (inside a rectangle if you need a background color) to display the date and time instead of textbox?

No problem. There aren't too many questions on here that I am able to answer. Haha. Anyway, I find it confusing as well when I have to write expressions like that.

I used a couple spinbox and label to see if I could do it. I think you can adapt this for your situation?

I had installed VS 2026 side by side with VS 2022, so I just went back to letting Optix Studio automatically pick the code editor, and it reverted back to VS 2022.

I tested Visual Studio 2026 with the latest version of Optix Studio. I just tried some simple test code, and the code seemed to execute fine, but it was like Visual Studio knew nothing about Optix. Like no intellisense and the solution explorer did not list any of the .cs files. Is VS 2026 compatible? ...

I just went through a similar situation trying to pass an image file path with C#. I did discover that "ns=9;" was tacked on front. Could you elaborate further on ns=9;? How would a person know to add ns=9;

I understand, but my concern was the accuracy of the sensor. As I noted above with the pictures, booting up a panel that had been off for hours and had plenty of time to cool completely down already showed a CPU temperature of 30C when the room temperature was only 25C. Anyway, just thought I would note ...

After reading this post FT Optix connection to CompactLogix lagging | FactoryTalk Optix, I became curious, so I checked the CPU temp on a freestanding test panel here on my bench. I know the 50C spec mentioned by CodeAssist is the max ambient operating temperature of whole panel, so I suppose the CPU ...

I did not ensure that the Gateway and DNS were set. They are now. Those are items I rarely have to configure, I didn't even think about it. Yes, it works now. By the way, in the System Manager, I cannot find anywhere the Diagnostics that you referred to. Thanks for the help. ----------------------- ...

I have followed the Widget Development example posted on LinkedIn by @Ash. It uses the RestSharp nuget package to fetch the weather using the Tomorrow.io API. I actually got it working. It works fine on the emulator, both Native and Web presentation engines. However, both engines fail to retrieve the ...

I have seen similar behavior trying to display an IO tag description using the Tag Grid from the Optix Studio library. The IO is point Max if that matters. But anyway, some tag descriptions will display fine all the time, but some will not appear at all, or briefly be visible then disappear, like a flash. ...
