Post by timvh on Visuutils FbOpenDialog(Extended) not open Dialog from POUs ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I had a similar situation recently where this didn't work, but read to the end to see the solution. The reason is that CODESYS only downloads visualisations (dialogs) if they are part of the project or linked to the project. In your case the dialog is not loaded onto the controller. But the solution is pretty simple: Double click on the Visualization Manager in your application. Select the Tab "Visualizations". Here you can see that your dialog is not "checked". Do this manually and load your project on the controller. Then your code should be able to open the dialog, because now it exists on the controller.

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 .

Hello, i have the big Problem that dialog windows in Codesys 2.3 are cut off, as seen in the attached screenshots. I've tried to adjust the screen resolution, i tried changing scaling, i tried the compatibility options. To keep it short, nothing worked. If someone already had that problem and knows a fix, please answer.![]

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.

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