WinCC V13, using Microsoft Forms 2.0 components

gigor

Hello
I have a question on using Microsoft Form in graphics in WinCC.
What I can do is to insert a Control type component, select fron a list of
install on my system components, and then use VBS to control them.
And I whant to use standart windows components, because wincc has
quite a poor and ugly own set of components.
But there are problems:
1) Components don't supprot their interfaces as described in MSDN.
So, if I insert combobox, then select some event for it, and try to
do it dynamic, and I get Item as input variable - when trying to
type code for that Item, auto-complete function gives me only restricted
subset of it's interface, and also some functions not described in
MSDN for this component at all. If I try to use some function, listed
in interface of that component in MSDN (not in auto-complete of WinCC VBS) -
in runtime with debugger switched on i get error "Property of method is not
supported"
SO, is there a way to use full functionality of Microsoft Forms components?

2) More narrow problem - I don't see the way to organize a ListBox-like
component - so, that I have a dynamic list of text items, from wich i can
select one (with highlighting). I tryed every ListBox or Grid -like components
on my system (including Siemens S7-ones) - and for each one there was some
restriction - either I couldn't get currently selected item, or i couldn't
highlight item programmaticaly.
So, anyway, what you could't suggest for organizing dynamic listbox?
Basic set of functionality, which I need:
- Clear the list
- Add items to the list
- Get selected item
- Set selected item programmaticaly (so that selected item whould be highlighted)
- Have a configurable even for selection changes (so that i'm able to organize dependant
second listbox, which is configured according to first lisbox)
3) Is there any components (i mean common controls, windows-style) which I can use in WinCC

Hi Gigor/Akorostel

I am trying to do the exact same thing described by you here. Now I am using WinCC(TIA) v 13.1 please help me in opening the PDL file attached. How do you open or even see it?

Thanks and regards

Hello,

unfortunately you cannot open attachment with TIA V13 because attachment is for WinCC. You must install WinCC (maybe a demoversion will be enough??) .

Hello Raj Iyer,

this PDL-picturefile has the version WinCC V6.0.

You have to migrate this picture (or the whole WinCC-project) to WinCC V 7.2 at first. Then can you migrate it to WinCC V13 Professional.

Hello Raj Iyer,

if you can send me PDL-picturefile has the version WinCC V6.0.

I can migrate this picture to WinCC V 7.2 for you (if you have only this one picture).
