GUID for Messages windows?

2021-11-10T17:48:54.168000Z

Since version 3.5.2.0, as stated in the documentation, categories can be enumarated through python code.

To get all the GUIDs:

system.get_message_categories(bActive=False)

Set bActive = True to get only the categories that contain at least one message.

To get a description for each category:

system.get_message_category_description(category)

where category is the GUID of the category to look for.

GUID for Messages windows?

Hi Markus,

Thank you, yet another time.

I can share my small example on how to read messages from script and print to file:

scriptMessagesMessageGUID = "{194B48A9-AB51-43ae-B9A9-51D3EDAADDF3}"
buildMessageGUID = "{97f48d64-a2a3-4856-b640-75c046e37ea9}"
exportImportMessageGUID = "{2af7707f-6167-4a76-a40e-430967be0f18}"
libraryManagerMessageGUID = "{56a60174-4139-411b-86c7-df0da1cfc088}"
log = system.get_messages(buildMessageGUID)
f = open('c:\\output.txt', 'w+', 0)
for line in log:
    f.write(line + '\n')
f.flush()
f.close()

Best regards,
Frank

Hi, Frank,

This documentation is part of the Automation Platform SDK documentation, one just needs to search all IMessageCategory implementations in the CoDeSysV3_TypeList.txt.

As most customers don't have that documentation, I did search that file, and here's the result:

GUID for Messages windows?

2020-02-27T14:49:22.429000Z

Hi,

I am trying to access the messages written to Messages window using ScriptEngine.

Looking in the documentation i found function get_messages() which takes either GUID or string with GUID as input. However, this requires some knowledge about internals in CoDeSys IDE. I hope someone can help by providing the GUID for common message windows. The list I hope can be completed is:

Script Messages = {194B48A9-AB51-43ae-B9A9-51D3EDAADDF3} # Found this one in documentation
Library Manager = ?
Build = ?
Export/Import = ?

Example of use:

print(system.get_messages("{194B48A9-AB51-43ae-B9A9-51D3EDAADDF3}"))

This works fine to get "Script Messages", but can someone provide the GUID to access other message windows?

Best regards,
Frank
