philipli Posts: 13 Rating: (0)	Hello, I am using a touch screen for a WinCC 6.0 application. the problemare buttons on the user archive screen table are too small to touch, and the column with of each filed can not be pre-defined. is there a way to solve these problems? I also have another question regarding the data time format on a screen. the WinCC digital/analog clock can display date and time only in mm/day/year format. is there anyway to change the display format as we can on report? i know i can define a few tags in PLC and get date and time from it, but i hope these is a fix inside the WinCC. Thanks Philip

So simply set the format here to change the display in WinCC. NOTE:You must ensure your Regional Settings are English(US) and not English(UK). Finally, please can you use the sub-forums for posting. So this should be inSIMATIC WinCC

So in the Graphics Designer, hold down the CTRL key and double-click the ua control. You can then resize the columns [;)]
