Factory Talk SE - Me.TagParameters

saeqsae · Dec 13, 2019

Hi all, i'm trying to use a combobox on FTV SE.

When i click on an option, is easy to see the value, read, and execute commands. My issue is when i tried to do the same but with parameters. For example, the combobox should show the String Value of my Parameters /P (The #1 = Tag )

I tried using Me.TagParameters.Item (1) but the VBA code return me an error.

Anyone can help me with this?

You're going to have to manually assign the parameters to strings and then load the strings into the ComboBox.

Thanks, but how do i assign the parameters to string correctly?

Are you using /p or /t? I don’t think it matters. There’s a vba method to grab the parameters passed to the screen

Do you remember the metod? Is it Me.TagParameters ?

jkerekes · Dec 16, 2019

TagParameters property
Returns a collection of strings that contains the names of tag parameters that were specified when the display was loaded. If no tag parameters were specified, an empty collection is returned. Read-only. StringList collection.

Syntax

Display.TagParameters

where

Display – is the name of a Display object or an expression that evaluates to a Display object.

Remarks

Tag parameters are specified with the /T or /P command line option.
You cannot add strings to the StringList collection that is returned by this property because it is read-only.

Thanks, very helpfull. But unfortunatelly i got some error with the syntax now. I'm pretty sure is a dumb error, but i'm newbie on this (FTV and VisualBasic).

-----CODE-----

Private Sub Display_AnimationStart()

Dim List As StringList
Dim Msg1 As String

Set List = Me.TagParameters
Msj1 = List.Item(1)

ComboBox1.AddItem (Msj1,1) <----- SYNTAX ERROR

End Sub

------END-------

Can you help me with this?

Isn't AddItem supposed to be a string?

First of all Msj1 is not the same as Msg1 it may be just a typo in this thread.
I think it should be: Combobox1.ItemAdd (Msg1) I do not understand the (Msg1,1) normally you only need the variable.
For example ComboBox1.AddItem("123456")

AddItem is a function to add an item on to the ComboBox.

You are, right, i realized that too, now the ComboBox it's working. BTW the issue was that you said it, the ComboBox1.AddItem Msg1 is the correct syntax.

Thanks both for your help
