I am needing to display a local svg file that is constantly updating within my runtime application. My file is located as C:\Users\mccsf\Desktop\file_to_show.svg.
I am using an ActiveX Control Object to display this webpage and the I am using the Microsoft Web Browser Control type. I am having difficulty now setting the URL for this object to be "C:\Users\mccsf\Desktop\file_to_show.svg". I go to the Property pane, and I attempt to adjust the LocationURL property, but it will not accept anything. A warning message with no text pops up whenever I try to set it. I know that on the SE version of FactoryTalk, you can edit the VBA Code and add the URL to a Navigation command, but with the ME version I do not have ability to edit any VBA script.
Ultimately, I am just trying to display an image using an external network URL within the HMI. I already know that the panel has network access to the image I am trying to show, but I have not found a good way of displaying it so I have gone down the road of ActiveX Control objects because the image is an svg file which is supported by a web browser. I also have a bmp version of the file but it is not exactly what I want to show.
If anyone has had any success showing an image using a specific external URL, I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks
