Crimson3.1 -GotoPage construct

jacquesp · Mar 20, 2023

Hi

Crimson3.1 uses the GotoPage() to navigate to pages and the argument has to be a Display Page

example: GotoPage(Page1);

However since the argument is not a string it is not possible to construct the page name and pass it into the function?

Pagename := "Page" + "1";
GotoPage(Pagename);

Is there a way around this, that will allow the construction of the Page name?

Does this work?

Code:

GotoPage(Page + 1)

No way round this, only work arounds. Don't know why this isn't easier, one of the things that bugs me about Crimson.

Code:

// auto move between screens

if (PLC1.DB4_CurrentVals.ExpectedScreen == 5 & PLC1.DB4_CurrentVals.CurrentScreen != 5 ) GotoPage(StandardScreens.S0005_OpInstr1);

if (PLC1.DB4_CurrentVals.ExpectedScreen == 6 & PLC1.DB4_CurrentVals.CurrentScreen != 6 ) GotoPage(StandardScreens.S0006_OpInstr2);

if (PLC1.DB4_CurrentVals.ExpectedScreen == 7 & PLC1.DB4_CurrentVals.CurrentScreen != 7 ) GotoPage(StandardScreens.S0007_OpInstr3);

if (PLC1.DB4_CurrentVals.ExpectedScreen == 8 & PLC1.DB4_CurrentVals.CurrentScreen != 8 ) GotoPage(StandardScreens.S0008_ProcessComplete);

I use something like this, and then call it on tick from the screens where I want auto change. Otherwise I use the Triggers on Tags and use those to move between screen.
So for the way you are working, you can pass the name of the page to a Function, but you have to have a separate 'If' line for each page you want to call.

Nope "GotoPage(Page + 1)" does not work either.

Thanks for all the responses though
