Hello,

Are there components out there to buy ? If you want a more nice meter than the one in WinCC Flexible ?

You can use Active X components,
but they are depending from Panel and OS,
so (for me) it is not a good idea to use 3rd party Active X....

Notes on using ActiveX controls in WinCC flexible
Using ActiveX Controls from other providers can lead to errors (e.g. "memory munchers", deteriorated performance, system blockages). The users of the software are fully responsible for any problems that arise when using other ActiveX Controls. We recommend that you make thorough tests before implementing them.

Siemens provides no guarantee whatsoever for conflict-free operation of other ActiveX Controls. Using other ActiveX Controls is the entire responsibility of the user. It is strongly recommended to make thorough tests before implementation. Non-certified ActiveX Controls must behave according to the Microsoft specification. In the case of conflict, the user must provide proof that the specification has been met.

Any ActiveX controls of your own that are incorporated in WinCC flexible, programming must be in compliance with the SDK guidelines (Software Development Kit) that are included in WinCC flexible SDK for PC. Information on the WinCC flexible SDK is available in the Catalog ST80 and in Entry ID 15247601.

So... be careful, my friends with ActiveX
