Unfortunately their basic settings for Graphics-Designer were different and so we now have PDL objects with varying cycle attributes like "2 s" or "User Cycle 1" for I/O-fields, Dynamic Dialogs and so on. Who knows a comfortable and more automatic way, to adjust these different cycles to one specific value? Is there a way to generate overview listings? Thank You.

There are examples in the manual on how to change a trigger whichare quite simple. However your function will need to be fairly sophisticated and recognise things like multiple tags in Dynamic Dialogs, multiple tag triggers, etc. I have attached a very basic example. Please note that this will need some modifications to correctly update all triggers for VBS/C, tags and dynamic dialog scripts. However it should be enough to get you started. Finally, please please make sure you have a backup of your PDL before running VBA code against it ! Attachment changing triggers.zip (445 Downloads)
