Hi everyone,
Updating one app to 2018 r2 from citect scada 2015, an activex that displays a form with a list of items appears just in the main monitor. The client has a multimonitor function with two monitors. If the operator opens de form on the second display, the list appears on the main one.
here the activex -
any idea what is going on?
thanks.
Hi,
Since V2018 you can use so called maps. It's very to create a combobox like this:
In this case the text is linked to an interger in the controller. This requires some initialisation of the map, i.e. the translation of the value:
sEnumMap = Enum_AddEnum("ControlModeEnum"); // Add a new enumeration
IF sEnumMap <> "" THEN
MapValueSet(sEnumMap, 0, "Automatic" ); // Add the enumeration values
MapValueSet(sEnumMap, 1, "Manual" );
MapValueSet(sEnumMap, 2, "Cascade" );
MapValueSet(sEnumMap, 3, "Local" );
MapValueSet(sEnumMap, 4, "Computer" );
END
In the combobox genie you can use
MapValueGet("ControlModeEnum",IntToStr(TagInTheController))
This removes the need for activex comboboxes and makes life easier when upgrading. As a bonus the genie will never be shown on a different monitor.
