FactoryTalk View SE confirmation pop up display

The customer wants a display to automatically pop up when a button/numeric input on the HMI is pressed, and ask something like "Are you sure?" With buttons Yes and No. No button would just revert back to previous display, and yes button would allow the original button that was pressed' operation to be performed (such as turning on and off a pump or changing a numeric input like a heater set point) as well as return to the previous display.

I would like to stay away from VBA, as I don't have any experience with it - but am not totally opposed if its something as simple as a few lines of code. Sadly, this might be the only way to achieve what I want to do?

Any help with the matter is greatly appreciated.

I'm running FTViewSE and RSLogix5000 with a 1769-L33ER controller.

What version of SE? Version 8 has that functionality built in. Otherwise you'll have to make a popup screen that displays when a button is pressed for example.

The runtime license FTViewSE is version 8, I am programming with FTView Studio SE release #7.

The help is greatly appreciated.

Please find the attached PDF helpful for an overview of changes and features to 8.0 that I put together and took screenshots of.

That is available in Version 8.
The button confirmation (built-in) only works with regular button's (the ones with actions), and only when the action is configured to a direct tag write.


You can't develop version 8 applications with version 7.

If you have 7, you are going to have to roll your own.
