Active I/O Field on Screen Entry

Hi K!ke,

Does your instruction also valid for TIA WinCC advance ?

I mean to activate I/O field by using script (with .activate).

I try and got error in runtime with "Object does not support this property or method".

I'm not sure if I did it wrong or system does not support.

Hi,

I work with TIA WinCC Advance V13 SP1 and TP1200 comfort panel.

Hi K!Ke,

Here is a detail.

By the way, I'm looking for some detail about HMIRuntime structure where I can find detail for each parameter. I'm not sure which parameter I can read or write.

Do you have any good reference for that?

Thanks,

K!ke

Hello,

for activating the IO-field you can use the vb function".activate"
the keyboard won't open automatically with this function.

The IO-field will be selected untilsomeone selects another field or pushes another object. So I think it would be better to call this function when barcode reader starts reading the code, not with opening the screen (if this screen changeis not automatically)

 Hello K!ke,

Before reading this I figured the .Activate out... first vbscript ever!  I am using a scanner (RFID) which enters a DWORD in hex and then hits enter like a keyboard. Still a button needs to be pushed in order to activate an IO field. 
But you say, that you can "listen" on the USB-port for an input and then run the script? How do I achieve that?

Thanks,

Christian

Dear Christian,

Do you have any solution to "listen" on the USB-port for an input and then run the script.

I also have problem like you

Thanks,
