Hi, for this, G_LastClient := VU.PublicVariables.Clients.Current; It fails to do it.

Post by callumo1 on Check For Open Dialogs On Client ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Is it possible to make a function that checks to see if there are any open dialogs on a given clients. I think VisuDialogs.VisuDlgUtil_IsDialogOpen does this for a given dialog name, but is it possible to do this for any dialog. Appretiate any help Cheers Callum

Thanks for your responses. The close listener sounds like an interesting approach, will have to see what I can do with it. I actually solved it as suggested by sturmghost by setting an enum variable to a certain state as soon as I open a dialog. This way I always know which dialog was opened last.

1 + Replying in hopes of getting an answer here. I would also like to modify the look of the FileOpenSave Dialog. I have successfully adjusted the looks of the User management Dialogs but can not find a library file to adjust this particular one. Any help would be helpful. @thk @eschwellinger @sheberle .

Post by pedegani on "Do you really want to perform" dialog boxes ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have the same annoying problem. The confirmation prompt for every single action appeared recently after an update from CODESYS 3.5 SP20 Patch 3 to Patch4, but I don't think it's due to this. Having to confirm every operation while debugging an application is a considerable waste of time and does not help at all to concentrate on development, not to mention that many times you miss the long-awaited event because you are busy looking for the 'yes' button to resume debugging or force a variable. Does anyone know how to disable the confirmation messages?

Post by hemuv on Dialog Open ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm programming an HMI for a machine. I want to log all the parameter's changes (used text field for displaying and changing) for particular User levels. Created a Numpad and want to log oldvalue and Newvalue on 'ok' Button press. To retrieve the oldvalue, i check if the dialogue opened is my Numpad, Then I retrieve the dialogue interface via GetDialogInterface(ADR(myNumpad)) --> numpadData.stVariableValue which contain my oldvalue and save it locally. Problem is sometimes i retrieve the data and sometimes not. Also observed when Numpad Dialogue is Opened, VisuDlgUtil_IsDialogOpen returns False in some cycles.Attached you will find my Project. please let me know what went wrong or if there is a better approach to collect old and New Value of a textfield. Thank you.

maybe the compiler of the IDE can only use this color and other colors have to be licensed? But seriously, I agree with the request.

Hello , will this be changed in an upcooming version? The current method is to use all the color Variables for buttons and object as changeable variables but the amount of work for this results in a bad cost-benefi ratio.

Du kannst das einfach mit den Rechten erstellen. Der Button fürs Servicemenü wird nur sichtbar wenn User "Wartung" angemeldet ist.

Your function block instance is not called, so the code is not executed to set the light on when the button is pressed.

Post by seler on Custom button with output status <sup>CODESYS Forge talk (Post)</sup>
Hi, Im struggle with making custom button. The idea is simple grey light bulb after touch (input var) it changes to yellow but shows output var status not switch status. So if light is physically on, switched by physical switch, bulb is also yellow. How to do it?

Post by rickmotion on Opening and saving files with fileOpenSave dialog <sup>CODESYS Forge talk (Post)</sup>
I have a customer that types in machine programs in a text file for machines and lets the machine execute it. In the old situation they can open and edit these files in a winform application. Now I want to move this to codesys. What I need is a simple way to open, close, save, edit the machine file in codesys visualisation. I want to use the fileOpenSave dialog. But don't understand how it works. I have the file transfer example and some other examples. But it is hard to figure out how the part with the file dialog works so that you can select a folder or file. Does someone know how that works?

Post by warrumungi on Opening a Dialog on a specific Client from ST <sup>CODESYS Forge talk (Post)</sup>
Hi Thanks, Manuel, for providing this solution and insight. I too had exactly the same problem as you did. While I did implement a custom filter, I'd also like to point out what jinlee mentioned above...I see no reference to VU.PublicVariables.Clients.Current anywhere?? In my case I only needed to show a dialog on a "master" client, not all the clients, so I filtered by IP address to do this.

Post by durallymax on Access Variable Visu Dialog <sup>CODESYS Forge talk (Post)</sup>
Is there a way to access the variable in the called dialog? Example: Text Field element with PLC_PRG.myVar as Text variable. OnMouseClick configured to write variable with keypad pop-up. OnValueChanged configured to Execute ST RND(PLC_PRG.myVar,2); Rather than change myVar with each copy of this Text Field, is there a way to access whatever the configured text variable is? Generally try to stay away from ST in visu, but was curious regardless.

Post by rene-h on VU.FbOpenDialog - TargetVisu - 2 x WebVisu <sup>CODESYS Forge talk (Post)</sup>
Hello, i am trying to find a way how to open Dialogs on a Single Visu. The options from VU.Globals are Target and WebVisu, but Webvisu opens the Dialog on both WebVisus and it should be separated. CurrentVisu can only be used when the Dialog is called from the Visu, but its all done in the Code. One Webvisu is for the User and one is for diagnostic reasons, and they should not be interfered from each other. Maybe someone can help me with this. Thanks

I have managed to change my dynamic visu table colors with the template for each column to dark like my rest of the webvisu background is. How ever the empty table (when not populated) and the table header stays white / gray. Is there same way to modify the colors of header and empty table?
