I'm currently busy with a project where I need to control the S7-Manager through the COM interface using the S7 command interface... Basically i need to choose a project, add sources (.awl), compile them and load them onto the PLC... First of all I'd like to ask if there isn't an API for the command interface because it's quite hard figuring out everything by trial and error? Secondly i'll describe my problem: I need to list all projects managed by the S7-Manager, which worked very well. The only problem is it displays every project, even example projects and ones not yet added. So is there a way to only display the 'added' user projects? Thanks for your help!! Meinhard

Meinhard Hello, Use button 'Manage' (Open Simatic Manager ->File->Manage) in order to hide projects from that list. Best regards, Hristo Mihalev
