Not sure, but maybe it related to the style. Go to the Visualization Manager in your project and see if a style is selected, or choose another style to see if this helps.

You can use Not(Variable) in that Invisible spot. Example if you want it to be invisible when the bool is false then: Not(True) = False Not(False) = True

Which PLC do you use? If it is a standard CODESYS Runtime (from the store), then maybe update the device in your project to the latest version. If it is not a standard CODESYS Runtime, then maybe contact the supplier.

Post by ben1 on How to write multiple coils (Modbus FC15) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
If I am understanding what you are saying, then yes that would be your problem. I would create an array of bools on the client side for the transfer and try that. Or if client can't be changed then use words on server and unpack. But I am not sure if you or I are mis interpreting but it sounds a bit jumbled. I don't know what you have control of, but, if you are turning on BITS in the server, you should write to BITS in the client with a Function 15. If you are writing to WORDS in the server, you should write to WORDS in the client with a Function 16.

Post by rkohser on Scripted Git clone / checkout being blocked by "Project Environment" popup ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I am trying to build a CI/CD pipeline around our codesys projects. The only entry point if the git url and branch, as we do not put our project file under source control, so we needed to find a way to git clone from the python scripting engine. This is currently how we do this : system.commands["Git", "Clone"].execute( "ProjectLocation=" + project_dir, "ProjectName=" + project_file_name, "RemoteUrl=" + project_git_remote_url, "GitProjectStoragePath=" + project_git_local_dir, ) system.commands["Git", "Checkout", "Branch"].execute( "PrimaryProjectHandle=0", "BranchName=origin/" + project_git_branch ) This works fine, except that, depending on the environment and the project, the "Project Environment" popup gets displayed to suggest for some updates, and waits for a user interaction, even with the "--noUI" flag injected as parameter. I investigated the VersionUpdateFlags, but the problem is that the git clone is an atomic operation that clones and directly opens the generated project without the possibility to inject any updateFlags argument (only used in the ScripProjects.open() function. I also tried to simulate some keyboard events acknowledge the window from script but I did not find the right location for the SendKeys statement, I think before the git clone call is too early and after is too late. So I am wondering if there would be some other way to do that. Is there some more proper scripting api for the git add on ? Is there a global configuration of the VersionUpdateFlags that would allow the popup to be disabled outside from any project context ? Is there some way to automatically acknowledge this kind of messages in a "--noUI" mode ? What do you suggest ? Thanks for your help, Roland Edit : I managed to solve my problem by following these steps in my pipeline : - create a template of a project and opt file preconfigured not to open the popup - open this project - initialize an empty git repo - add the remote, fetch and checkout the needed branch -> no popup is displayed, hourra Edit2 : The initial question was raised on a CODESYS V3.5 SP18 Patch 2 profile. Since CODESYS 3.5.19.30 a scripting API is available for Codesys Git that allows cloning a project with the support of VersionUpdateFlags https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Git/_git_using_scripting.html

Post by pistola on C0357: "GetNextClient" is obsolete, use VisuUtils instead ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm having some troubles with this same issue and I'm wondering if someone can help me out. On a settings visual I allow the operator to enter some values however if they activate the page change button it will change the change with the Numpad dialog open. Since I'm using Visuelems.CURRENTVISU to change the pages I came across this code noted below for determining if the Numpad dialog was active. This code worked great however now in 3.5.19 it's now obsolete. I've tried following the directions in the attached program above however I can't see to get it to work in my program. Can anyone provide some help to determine if a dialog is open? FUNCTION Check_Dialog_Open : Bool VAR_INPUT sDialogName : STRING; // Input variable for the name of the dialog END_VAR VAR pstClientData : POINTER TO VisuElems.VisuStructClientData; // Pointer to the client data structure itfDialogManager : VisuElems.IDialogManager; // Interface for the dialog manager itfMyDialog : VisuElems.IVisualisationDialog; // Interface for the specific visualisation dialog END_VAR // Begin the iteration over the client manager VisuElems.g_ClientManager.BeginIteration(); // Loop through each client until no more clients are found WHILE (pstClientData := VisuElems.VisuElemBase.g_ClientManager.GetNextClient()) <> 0 DO // Get the dialog manager interface itfDialogManager := VisuElems.g_VisuManager.GetDialogManager(); // Get the specific dialog interface using the dialog name itfMyDialog := itfDialogManager.GetDialog(sDialogName); // Check if the dialog is open for the current client Check_Dialog_Open := VisuDialogs.VisuDlgUtil_IsDialogOpen(itfMyDialog, pstClientData, itfDialogManager); // If the dialog is open, exit the loop IF Check_Dialog_Open THEN EXIT; END_IF END_WHILE

Post by ph0010421 on Task time too fast? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello I've made an FB which is a TCP server. It uses the excellent CAA NetServices library. If I have the FB in a task <4ms, then the RT crashes immediately at boot up. If the task >=4ms, it starts and runs perfectly. This is even if the block is not doing anything; just instantiated. Am I missing something silly? Why would a low task time cause this? 4ms is perfectly adequate, but I'm just interested why... thanks PH

Post by trusty-squire on How can you get the active frame index from a frame ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
If you are switching a frame based on the "Switch Frame Variable", then just use a variable that is accessible to your program to set your active frame. If you're trying to see which is the active visualization, then use the "CurrentVisu" variable. Note you'll need to enable this by checking it on in the Visualization Manager settings. If it's neither of those, you'll need to be more clear on how you're project is set up.
