Hi everyone

My HMI is TP1200 Comfort. I want to know is it possible to add a new rectangle object via VB Scripts in Wincc?

Hi,

If you use a VBa script I think it is possible, but VBa is for automateconfiguration steps. I mean like adding a tag prefix to specific object properties in the picture objects.

See this topic:

Also plenty of information in this manual:

Thank you MicroMan

Actually I want to insert a regular Rectangle Object to a screen by clicking on a Bottun Object. I know how to set width and length to a rectangle that already exist on screen, but I didn't find any function to create a new rectangle.

Hi,

I see what do you mean. In this case you do not need to use VBA.

Actually what you need to do is create the object on your screen, and acces to its "visible" object property. See the example bellow. The only difference is that you want to make a rectangle visible not a picture window. It should be accessable.

This example is from:

You should find plenty ideas there. Any question please do not hesitate to ask!

Let us known how you getting on!
