Hello , PCS7 8.0 +APL something is still not clear to me: I have made a custom block in scl, I dont want to create a block icon, I want to have a faceplate that is on the screen all the time (calling PG_MyCustomBlock_Standard.pdl in a picture window). I want to know how pcs7 knows the communication between CFC block and OS is. Where does it get the properties to know which structure it has to assign a value? If I have 10x the block I want to fill in a tag like .Reset, and upon clicking, the value is changed in the correct structure. I think this is when youclickon a block icon->it transfersthe correct structure to the faceplate. But since i dont have a block icon, how to give the faceplate the correct properties, so i can work with .reset. |

I checked the apl_openfaceplate and apl_configurefaceplate functions, but unable to check what I need.I used the apl_openfaceplate function in a button and yeah, the faceplate opens and the objects are working. |

Hello Silentbob, Thanks for your reply. I'm able to create a picture window where the structure is called and working. I'm still not unable to get it working on the main screen... I tried learning the code from the function: openfaceplate, but not able to check which part of the code I need... If you have some spare time..... |

Hi Oreca, On every screen is a unit which controls the equipment modules. Each unit can be controlled with a set of buttons. These buttons must be on the screen always so no faceplates popping up. I can set a tag for each button referring to the correct structure but that is some work and I just want to make it the way it should be like the way the block icons work. In the openfaceplate function (when clicking on a block icon), the structure is read from somewhere and the correct structure is loaded. I need that procedure so I can set it in the change screen functionwhen opening the properties of the screen... Basically, remove the clicking-on-block-icon-and-opening-faceplate thing Firstanswer yougave Idont understand completely, second way I tried...I believe. It was the not working because the connection is lost between the block icon and faceplate opening. Referring to an object with the faceplate function was not working... |
