Split from Status bar with picture window.

Switchted to ansi C, now this works like a charm:

OpenPicture("newParentScreen"); //Return-Type: void

What I'm doing wrong with VBA?

Helo SummerSeaSun;

I suggest you have a look at the WinCC v7.5 scrpting manual:

https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109773213

It provides informtion on the 3 scrpting packages you can use with WinCC, ANSI-C, VBS and VBA, and it also explains what each type of script can be used for different functions. You cannot use VBA for example to program every action you want to do in winCC, some must be C--ations, others work better with VBS.

Hope this helps,

Thank you, I've taken a look at it seems that the ANsi C function is the safest for this use case:

OpenPicture Function Changes the specified basic picture. On the client and in case of a picture name with server prefix a picture change is performed in the picture window. If, for example, the picture window is located in a different picture window with a server prefix, a picture change is not performed in the picture window in which the function was called. If multiple picture windows with server prefix are integrated in the picture and the "OpenPicture()" function calls the last picture, the picture change is carried out in the first picture window. For example, "screen1.window1(screen2.window2(screen3.window3(screen4.OpenPicture)))" executes a picture change in "window1". WinCC Alarm Control: WinCC server or WinCC client with its own project If you have selected a server package in the WinCC AlarmControl, the picture change takes place in the picture window of the WinCC Alarm Control when called with "Loop in Alarm". Picture names in different languages If you are going to use multiple pictures with names from different code pages, it is recommended that you use the respective picture names in different "Open Picture" functions. You must compile the associated "Open Picture" function with the correct language and configure it for the message. Syntax void OpenPicture(Picture PictureName)

I'm looking at page 2199 of 

Could you please explain me why this row from example:

Expected end instruction at line ... Dim Dim objPicWindow As HMIPictureWindow

 If I commet that row compilation would success.

Anyway this way I can set .TagPrefix but ont the runtime at function call there's the error:

objPicWindow not defined
