“Simple Samples” are small projects that demonstrate simple features. The target is give a quick overview about the theme and be used as start point for related discussions. Follow there are a short description and the configuration main steps.

Description:

In this simple sample, trend “first record” Button is activated by an external Button with help of script / system function (SetPropertyValue). The principle of activating object button by script could be adapted to other controls, like alarms and trends.

TIP:

The main point here is to get access to the button visible property.

The buttons are referend by an index and not by his name (the index stay on the property column Name, and the description in the column Static value). To get the right name, click with the right mouse button on the object property (here in Miscellaneous, Toolbar, Elements [0] Button, visibility) and choose “copy property name”. Use this reference in the SetPropertyValue system function (or equivalent script)

Hi,

I'm using Wincc unified V17. Like you mentioned, i can able to toggle the visibility of the Button button from outside, how to control the function of the particular element button.

for example , i want to pause and play the trend control which is the function of Element[2] in the trend control.

The problem is ExecuteToolbarButton method is not available in wincc unified v17. i need an alternate for that!

please help me with this, Thanks in advance!!
