<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi</p> <p>You could use one of the methods from system.ui to show a message box. For example:</p> <div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span class="k">system</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="n">ui</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="n">info</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="ss">"Please update ..."</span><span class="p">)</span> </pre></div> <p>You can also open the "Project Environment" dialog with:</p> <div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span class="k">system</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="n">commands</span><span class="p">[(</span><span class="ss">"project"</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="ss">"checkavailableversions"</span><span class="p">)].</span><span class="k">execute</span><span class="p">()</span> </pre></div> <p>I forgot to ask if you use the CODESYS Test Manager. The Test Manager supports the update of the compiler version, library version and the visu profile.</p> <p>BR<br/> Martin</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi</p> <p>Thanks for the answer, is there any chance to do it semi-automated? <br/> I'm thinking on a solution to open the project archives by script, do the managable changes, then ask the user to finish the settings<br/> and save, close. My script then would wait till projects.all gets empty (none project is open) and would reopen the user saves project file<br/> and export or save it as project archive.</p> <p>So something similar:</p> <div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span> <span class="nv">proj</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">projects</span>.<span class="nv">open_archive</span><span class="ss">(</span>...<span class="ss">)</span>    # <span class="k">do</span> <span class="nv">some</span> <span class="nv">automated</span> <span class="nv">changes</span>    <span class="nv">notify_usr_to_do_manual_changes</span><span class="ss">()</span>    <span class="k">while</span> <span class="nv">len</span><span class="ss">(</span><span class="nv">projects</span>.<span class="nv">all</span><span class="ss">)</span><span class="o">&gt;</span><span class="mi">0</span>:      <span class="nv">system</span>.<span class="nv">delay</span><span class="ss">()</span> # <span class="nv">this</span> <span class="nv">currently</span> <span class="nv">blocks</span> <span class="nv">my</span> <span class="nv">access</span> <span class="nv">to</span> <span class="nv">GUI</span>, <span class="nv">is</span> <span class="nv">there</span> <span class="nv">an</span> <span class="nv">async</span> <span class="nv">function</span> <span class="nv">to</span> <span class="nv">somehow</span> <span class="nv">put</span> <span class="nv">the</span> <span class="nv">script</span> <span class="nv">in</span> <span class="nv">background</span> <span class="nv">and</span> <span class="nv">let</span> <span class="nv">the</span> <span class="nv">user</span> <span class="nv">to</span> <span class="nv">access</span> <span class="nv">the</span> <span class="nv">GUI</span>?  #<span class="nv">usr</span> <span class="nv">saved</span> <span class="nv">and</span> <span class="nv">closed</span> <span class="nv">everything</span> <span class="o">&gt;</span> <span class="nv">reopen</span> <span class="nv">the</span> <span class="nv">project</span> <span class="nv">to</span> <span class="nv">export</span> <span class="nv">it</span> <span class="nv">as</span> <span class="nv">archive</span>  <span class="nv">proj</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">projects</span>.<span class="nv">open</span><span class="ss">(</span><span class="nv">temp</span>.<span class="nv">project</span><span class="ss">)</span>  <span class="nv">proj</span>.<span class="nv">save_archive</span><span class="ss">(</span><span class="nv">proj_name</span>.<span class="nv">archive</span><span class="ss">)</span> </pre></div> </div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi etamgul.</p> <p>Right now, this is not yet possible, but this improvement is already listed in our Jira tracker <a class="" href="http://jira.3s-software.com/browse/CDS-34105" rel="nofollow">CDS-34105</a>, so it will be implemented eventually.</p> <p>BR<br/> Martin</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi</p> <p>I have a set of project archives, but with time they get outdated so I currently use a script to iterate and update the device version,<br/> basically opening the project archive, device.update(version) and saving the project as archive.</p> <p>This sort of works but I also would like to update the compiler version to the newest, if possible.<br/> When I open the archive with codesys GUI it asks me if I want to use the latest or older ones, but I don't <br/> get a message when the script is executed.</p> <p>Is it even possible? If so which interface should I use?</p> <p>Thanks</p></div>
