How to launch a ScreenMaker Application from Rapid

Picard1de

Hi all,

 

IA'm looking for a way to launch a Screenmaker Application  from Rapid. I did that allready with some Applications that i created with RAB using the UIShow intructions and that works fine but it doesnA't work with the ScreenMaker Application. It looks like that my used "Type-definition" (ABB.Robotics.ScreenMaker.TpsViewMyTestApp) is wrong

 

I did it like this:

 

 PROC ShowMyTestApp()
    CONST string Name:="TpsViewMyTestApp.dll";
    CONST string Type:="ABB.Robotics.ScreenMaker.TpsViewMyTestApp";
    UIShow Name, Type;
  ENDPROC

 

Is there a way to launch a ScreenMaker Application from Rapid ?

Hi again,

 

I changed my Rapid code now to the following

 

 PROC pmShowMyTestApp()
    CONST string Name:="TpsViewMyTestApp.gtpu.dll";
    CONST string Type:="ABB.Robotics.SDK.Views.TpsViewMyTestApp";
    UIShow Name, Type;
 ENDPROC

 

It still doesnA't work but looking into the elog i get a message : Event Message 41664

"the inparameter TypeName is invalid. The TypeName does not match the assembly. Status -5. The view will not be launched"

Found it.

It has to be "ABB.Robotics.SDK.Views.MainScreen"

 

this works
