If your specific problem(s) can be solved with Openness Scripter, start with that because it will give you the very specific objects to manipulate.  Once you get that working correctly, then you can consider expanding to an Add-In, or a fully external application (.exe) with the knowledge of the details that must be initialized, manipulated, and later properly closed out - to avoid relying on GC to clean up 100% perfectly every time.

Hello miktherunner,

I hope you are doing well, i am int intern now and i am working on a project using TIA Openness " Integration TIA Openness in the modular managment of blowing machines".

I have no older experiences with this extension but i am a familiar with TIA Portal especially the version 16.

So i would like to give some advices to start working on my project. In my side, i did some researches and i found some key-words( C#, Visual Studio, DLL, TIA Explorer, Openness Scripter). But i don't know with what tool should i start, can you help me please by give me some advices or propose to me the plan just to begin please?

PS : I found by watching some videos in Youtube that TIA Openness is application installed with TIA Portal (A shortcut) but by asking many people, they told me it is not an application but, it is up to me to create this application which called API. So Can you explain to me please which one of this two approache is the correct?

Thank you
