get computer name / panel id MP377 touch panel, XP embedded, CE embedded

ChrisB_isi Posts: 7 Rating: (4)	Anyone have any ideas how to get the computer name, panel id or something similar from the MP377 panel in runtime? I have multiple panels and a common application. I want to be able to identify each panel when my initial screen loads so I can use that information to restrict some things that are panel specific. Hope this makes sense. (WinCC Flexible 2008 SP1, XP Embedded OS, CE Embedded OS, MP377) Thanks in advance.

Did you already encountered the area pointer "Project ID" or even "UserVersion"? For more information, please refer to chapter 2.4.1.6 of this manual: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/18797552
