F. Thomé Posts: 34 Rating: (11)	Hi, I want do a Configuration panel in My WinCC Aplication. I'm Using WinCC 7.0 Sp1. So, make 2 buttons: - Button 1 - Open WinCC Explorer - Button 2 - Open WinCC User Administrator So I need some VBS Script to do these functions. I could do it using a C Script, but. The Default Script Language that I have to use is VBS. Help me. Thanks...

F. Thomé Posts: 34 Rating: (11)	Hi cumulus!!! Please be atention!! I don't want to open Windows explorer... I want to open WinCC Explorer. Using a VBs Script. I've tried it usingWScript.Shell, it works to open apllications like calc, notepad and explorer, but it doesn't work with WinCCExplorer. I could solve this problem using a C Script, but i need this script in VBs. Thanks...

In a VBS script bound to button one, paste this code: [code] ' Code snippet to open WinCCExplorer in runtime Dim ShellWSH ' Create a WshShell object for access to Windows shell Set ShellWSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") ' Run WinCCExplorer.exe. This assumes you have your WinCC bin folder in your PATH. ShellWSH.Run "WinCCExplorer.exe" ' If WinCCExplorer is already open, set focus to the application window ShellWSH.AppActivate "WinCCExplorer" [/code] As for button 2 you simply replace "WinCCExplorer.exe" with "PASSCS.exe" which is the User Administrator app. Please note that this is only tested on WinCC 6.2; however, I think it should work fine with 7 as well.
