Hello there, I'm new at the forums and with HMI programming and would like to ask for some help.
I'm having trouble migrating a VBA code from RSView to FTView. I've read that you have to change the code due to the different way that both programs execute VBA codes.
I have 3 displays, each one containing objects (arms) that are animated (extend and retract motion) using the VBA code. Since those arms don't have servomotors with encoders to precise their position, we use the VBA code along with events to add and subtract values to the tag, simulating its position over to time until it the position step is changed (e.g., step 1 = retracted; step 2 = moving from retracted position to extended position; step 3 = extended.) The steps condition are being used on the events.
I can copy and paste the code and what's being used on the events if it helps to better understand this process.
I'm writing here because I couldn't fully understand the 'group' concept that FTView uses, since it's no possible to use de vbaexec command. And all the exemples that I've read about this use buttons, but in this case there is no button to press on those displays in order to make the animation work. What happens is that I have to press a button on another display to execute the display with the VBA animation. That button executes the events and then executes the display with the animations.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough with the explanation, english isn't my first language. I would really appreciate if anyone has the patience to help me out with this.
