Set to1 bit while pressed WinCC Unified

Hi everybody !

I'm working on WinCC Unified V17 and I want to use the function "Set to 1  bit while pressed" available on WinCC standard.

I don't find this function on WinCC Unified.

Can you help me to create or to find this function please ?

Thanks in advance 

Hi mguerinmgea,

take a look at 'SetBitInTag'. You can use this at the 'Press' event and 'ResetBitInTag' for the 'Release' event.

Kind regards

 Thanks for your answer.

Yes I use these function for Press and Release actions.

But I want the same function for mouse click and release but I cannot..

Hi mguerinmgea,

I do not really understand your request. For the 'Press' event, the description is as follows:

Occurs when the operator clicks on a button using the left mouse button or presses the <RETURN> or <SPACE> key when a button has the focus.

Would you please describe your problem in more detail?

 Hi,

I would like to use my MTP1200 as a touch screen and as a normal screen with a mouse.

So i need the same functions for these two methods of use.

My problem is that I cannot have the function "Set 1 bit while pressed" if I use my MTP1200 with the mouse because right click doesn't work with the 'Press' and 'Release' functions.

You can find attached a screenshot of my software (sorry it's in french). I configure 'Press' and 'Release' function to set and reset a bit.

It works when I use my MTP as a touch panel but it don't works if I use MTP as a screen with a mouse.

So, I want to know if and how can I use or create a "Set 1 bit while pressed' function on mouse right click event ?

Hi mguerinmgea,

sorry, but your screenshot shows that the events 'Press key' and 'Release key' are used, not 'Press' and 'Release'. Have you tried 'Press' and 'Release'?

Kind regards

 You're right !

It works with 'Press' and 'Release' functions.

Thanks for your help Stefan !

it’s still too bad that the 'Set bit to 1 while pressed' doesn't exist on WinCC unified .. 

Hi mguerinmgea,

mguerinmgea

it’s still too bad that the 'Set bit to 1 while pressed' doesn't exist on WinCC unified .. 

the request for a system function "set bit as long as key is pressed" is known at Siemens. So this function should come with a later version.

Kind regards
Stefan

Please note:

if you use functions 'press' and 'release' you have to pay attenction because if the 'visibility' of button go to '0' while is pressed the bit will stay to 1 also if the button is not visible and you release the finger from touch.

The bit will not reset untill you press and release the button one more time.

 I hope it helps someone
