Post by matthew on High resolution displays with 150% scaling causes CodeSys IDE to be blurry ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have just upgraded my laptop which has a high res display 2560x1600 and I have to have scaling switch on at 150% but everything looks blurry and not crisp, It seems CodeSys IDE is the only software on my system to look this bad, if I switch to 100% it's crisp but way to small. From a bit of research this could be due to the use of old windows forms or something? I have found a temp workaround that sort of works but not great. You have to run CodeSys in compatibility mode and adjust the DPI settings, this works ok and the editor is clear and crisp again but the actual tool bars are small like running at 100% Anyone got any tips for running CodeSys on high res displays with scaling?

Post by tali on Configuration of disabled/deactivated visu elements ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
would be great to have such fucntionality. Sometimes it is not clear for user which elemetns are blocked and which are not - the greyed out eleemtns are not so different for low resolution / low quality screeens. What I have in my mind as well is to have a possibility to detect the visu Element clicked on and get its Access Rights. If it is blocked/deactivated, the dialog can be rised with INFO 'please login first with proper rights'. It is possible now to have a Mose event Handler ( Examples -> EventHandler) and rise the dialog out of ST (Exapmpals -> ST Dialogs). I am struggling still with getting the separate Visu Element under the mouse and its structure info

Post by timvh on library inside library ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
1) it should be possible to access the type SysTime in the project as A_Lib.SysTime. 2) you could add the SysTimeCore library to the library manager of your library (POU Pool). This might seem as a double library, but because of the placeholder resolution only one will be used. Then, in your library manager of your library, select the SysTimeCore library, right-click, select "Properties" and enable the option "Publish all IEC symbols ...." For more information about library development, you could follow our advanced training course in Ridderkerk. The next is scheduled for 24 and 25 June 2026 https://www.extendsmartcoding.nl/codesys-training/

Thank you for the return. The path targets to a CFast card. User has R/W access to it. We will try to change it.

Select in tree "DEVICE", right-click and select "Update Device" Select "Library manager" and Change the version of the Library (down manualy). Samoetimes "Try reload Library". If you open a project version 3.5.19 in version 3.5.16, there are difficulties.

I'm now circumventing the problem by creating a separate TCP client for all Write actions. Upon registering a changed variable, I enable this client, until the change is processed.

It would be such a simple fix to first check if the file is missing or changed before writing to it, onedrive only has a problem because codesys writes to the file every second no matter the change.

Only idea I have is that new textlists are not loaded with an online change. When you add them, maybe you always have to do a full download first.

Hi, Yes this should be possible, you should find the CodesysControl.cfg file on your plc. Open this with a text editor, and change the placeholder filepath for alarms. You can find the Placeholder filepath in the CodesysControl file under Sysfile.

it could be due to security settings. In codesys IDE, go to device-> change run-time security policy, and click the checkbox that says "Allow anonymous login". try if this works.

Should work by using the property Dynamic bitmap - Bitmap version. Change the value of the variable you linked to this property after you updated the image. See: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Visualization/_visu_elem_image.html
