Hi, is there a recommended way to trigger on-screen keyboard on Windows 10?
I have an application with a Program Spawn button and a path to c:\Windows\System32\osk.exe
The same button on Windows 7 would open the on-screen keyboard but not on Windows 10.
However, if I change it to notepad c:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe, it would work on both Windows 7 and Windows 10.

Thanks
Vic

Is it possible to make the droplist widget write to a property of a context tag? I haven't been able to successfully change the properties this way of a Context tag this way. I can always set up a hotbox an operator can right click and edit properties in this way. But the most user friendly/ optimal method for data governance would be this droplist widget.

Another way would be to create

Hello

Is there a way to display ASCII charaketers from Siemens S7-300 PLC on VTScada?

Thank you

I am working with a Siemens S7 TIA Portal program and I am trying to pull the part type from the PLC into the VTSCADA system. The issue I am having with the String I\O is I am only getting the DEC form of the tag and not the CHARACTER values. In the PLC in a watch table when I look at the exact tag in DEC I get the value of 2565 but in CHAR I get DB 10 (FW part type). is there something I can do

I've added a custom property to my application which I'd like a VTScada I/O & calculation tag to know about. It's in the Application Section, named BarHistLenth, & has a numeric value.

Can't find a valid expression for my I/O & calc tag. Figured I better ask 'cause trying to do something that can't be done takes forever.

Looking to add the time in the top right comer of the title bar for a popup page, I know a command to display time but how can I get it to show in the same spot on the right hand side? The page title right now is dependant on the tagname thats used for the popup

Hey guys,

We have a decently large application (80k tags) with lots of Flow Computers. We have Low Flow setpoints and Debounce timers settable by operations and just go the Alarm tab on each Analog Status (FC still uses old style tags).

One issue we've noticed is if you change the parent tag type, or have a hard shutdown due to server issues, all these values get wiped out and get set to

I would like to use the selector switch tag type as it has built in feedback alarms and the switch widgets. However, the components I am using will pulse the command to its state. Another reading will verify that the command worked and that the component is in the commanded state. I don't see an option to pulse the output of the selector switch. Will I have to use the digital IO tag and a cou

I couldn't find a "Thin Client privilege" to add to my account but adding "Internet Client Access" seems to work.

Parent Child References are the easiest to map. However, I am exploring the possibility that the hierarchy for an application might require references to properties in an adjacent tag in the hierarchy. I haven't run into issues when concatenating descriptions in this way. However, in other values that require a specific data type (Scan Intervals, Drivers, AIO Scale Min's and Max's), I have exp

Would anyone happen to know a way I could have a button do 2 different things on a single press? Like set values to 2 different tags or set a value and change screens?

Has anyone found a way to print a full help topic from VTScada's online help? The only workaround I could find is selecting all the text, then copy pasting. If anyone's got something better I'd be excited to learn from you.

https://www.vtscada.com/help/ is not the only website with this issue.

It seems like it's a common problem with sites which haven't been upgraded to remain compatib
