Does anyone know how to get data from a Windows program or file into an HMI tag?
We are running FactoryTalk View ME Station (version 5.0) on a PC and we are using the ProgramLauncher ActiveX control to start a VB script (Windows XP). The ProgramLauncher has a parameter field which we use to pass down text on an HMI tag to the VB script. However, the VB script generates another text field (confirming original text was successfully transferred) and we have no means of acknowledging the message to an HMI tag.
