Here is a sample app I created with AHMI. It's already compiled. It was done with VisualStudio17, it should be backwards compatible.. to 15, 13, etc., but I didn't test to find out. I included a Modbus sim in the zip file so you should be able to run the sim and then run AHMI. To run AHMI ...AHMI Updated Alarming v13\AdvancedHMI\bin\Debug\AdvancedHMI.exe.

On the main display you can toggle the different buttons for alarms, then go to the status and history pages. I also include some example mutlistate, numeric displays, numeric entries, and string entries. The numeric and multistate have embedded variables, similar to RA, although, I didn't show that in the examples.

If you have any specific info you need please let me know. I tried to test as best as possible, but there may be a bug or two that slipped by.

Regards,

Thank you. I'm not really trying to showcase the standard controls in AHMI, but I have created an app to address some of the shortcomings. One major thing that is missing from AHMI, in my opinion, is good alarming. That's what I'm trying to display in my sample. I also show navigation, which is done in a manner that I like, but could be changed to suit anyone's preference. But, thanks again for the links.
 
The only thing that loads is the header everything else is empty? Am i missing something? It shows connected to the plc in green but nothing else.

Yes you are missing things. What version of Windows, are you running multiple monitors? A variant of this app has been running for two years and I've never seen what you are describing. This app uses MDI parent, so it's supposed to have a child within the gray portion, which from what you say is blank.

Can you try a different box to run on?

I'm running windows 7, and i am using 3 different monitors. Picture attached of one of my screens.

I'm not seeing any photos. This app is setup to automatically use multiple monitors, up to four, but I didn't test and I could've broke that. Try just using one and see if that helps. If it does I'll try and fix later.

Picture doesn't seem to be attaching for some reason. Trying it on this reply as well. The pic is a jpeg 157 Bytes so im not sure why thats not working.



After playing with it a bit it looks like i can alt-tab and select main parent and it shows correct except for its blasted across two of my monitors.
