Hello I Want to know if it is possible to read from Visual Basic the "Description" from a Screen attribute?
Hello I Want to know if it is possible to read from Visual Basic the "Description" from a Screen attribute?
Sorry, no. Per the help document:
"This is a brief description of the project screen, for your own convenience. It is not shown anywhere during run time."
If you want to know what screen is open you can load a string tag (for example "currentScreen") with a text value (for example "Test") using the "onOpen" screen logic (built in scripting) or Screen Script (VBScript).
Alternatively there is a way to do this with the Open function using custom properties, but the way I mentioned above is straight forward and easy.

Thank you Scott
Please Correct me if I'm wrong. (This is what you recommend)
1. Create a Strin tag
2. Include a Screen Script
3. Put the following code:
'This procedure is executed just once when this screen is open.
Sub Screen_OnOpen()
' Set the Name of the Screen
$HMI_ScreenName = "My Screen Name"
End Sub
Best Regards and thank you
