FT View SE VB Script

[bdossantos]

I am looking for some help with a script that I am working on. I have several trend screens that I want to condense into one and just load different trends. I havent had much luck with the VB script and accessing the tag database. What I am thinking of doing is depending on what button the operator selects it sets a value to memory tag and navigates to the trend screen. when the trend screen loads it checks the tag and them load the proper trend graph. What I dont get is how to reverence the tag in the vb script? Also if anyone has a better way of doing this, I am open to new ideas. Thank you

Private Sub Display_AnimationStart()
Dim objTrendNavTag As Tag
Dim TrendPage As Integer
Set objTrendNavTag = objGroup.Item("Diags\NavTrend")

TrendPage = objTrendNavTag.Value

If TrendPage = 1 Then
Trend1.Definition = "MyEnterprise.Public.Trend.Waste Gas Burner Flames"
End If

txtScreenTitle.Caption = ThisDisplay.Name
'hides the Tag Browser on launch
Trend1.ShowN***plorer = False
'hides the Toolbar on launch
Trend1.ShowToolbar = False
'hides the Date and time bar on launch
Trend1.ShowDateTimeCtrl = False
End Sub

This is what I have so far. I get a error code 424 Object required when I run the script. I am a little outside my understanding on this. I looks like I have to define the tag database with application.CreateTagGroup(Me.AreaName, 5000) but this is defined on a page that run in the background. I added objGroup.add "Diags\NavTrend" but i recieved the same error. Not sure where to go from here.

So i was able to figure it out. Had to add line to define tag database
