Are you trying to handle your own password? There is a built in Visu user management option, this allows you to add access/visibility to a button. See snips. If you are wanting to handle it yourself, you can open a visu via code with the VisuElems.CurrentVisu parameter (needs to be turned on from Visualisation Manager) or open a dialog using the FbOpenDialog from the VisuUtils Library.
As far as I am aware, it does not. Is it a problem to only display fixed asterisks? If you are looking at it to display the number of asterisks = characters entered, I believe you will need to use code to determine length of string entered and use this to display the correct number. There would be several ways to achieve this. I also believe the above (code to detect string length) would be the solution for the second question, I do no think there is a built in string length monitor, only the default...
Hi macros, I don't understand the purpose of this. A Boolean only has 2 options, why would you not use a button? A combo box seems like a huge complication to a simple solution. There may be some convoluted way to do it but the integer in the combo box variable is Read/Write, so converting either way as you tried would not work. Regards
Hi Guru's, Could you guys possibly send a sample code or some snips to help with this? I am either barking up the wrong tree expecting a different result here or I am missing something that this simple mind can't work out, but I cannot get this to work at all. Everything you have shown and all else I believe is needed is there, but changing dates/times changes nothing...
I don't have software old enough to open this but, I guess I am confused.... Can't you just copy-paste the button?????
I gotta be honest, this one is a bit strange! With the exact same setup mine works. The only thing I could say is I see in your offline GVL snip there are the time filter variables and on the alarm table config you haven't showed those settings - you haven't accidently doubled up with both?
Not sure why those images didn't come through, I'll attach them to this post.
You can imbed the placeholder into the text list. Create a text list with placeholders for the DEVICE. In a text field set this up as your text list, use your appropriate index and then just type the name of the device (or whatever that happens to be) in the Text Variable field. And then you can copy-paste it as many times as you want and just change the device name. Resize the image and play with the font settings however you please. Is that the solution you are looking for?
