Using UIshow with Screen maker

tomb

Hi,

I want to call my screen maker program from rapid with UIShow ins.

but i get "Typename is invalid for this assembly error".

 

My code is below .

 

CONST string Name:="TpsViewUserInterface_928.dll";
CONST string Type:="ABB.Robotics.sdk.Views.TpsViewUserInterface_928";
VAR num mystatus:=0;

!

UIShow Name, Type Status:=mystatus;

 

i see type error  (status=-5).

 

My dll files names are :

 

TpsViewUserInterface_928.dll

TpsViewUserInterface_928.gtpu.dll

 

What i need to write as typename to use UIShow Command with Screen Maker?

Thanks.

If your are not able to access this link then the Type should be ABB.Robotics.sdk.Views.MainScreen. Try this.

First thanks for your helps.

I ve tried as below but it is still not working and giving the same error code 

 

CONST string Name:="TpsViewUserInterface_928.dll";
CONST string Type:="ABB.Robotics.sdk.Views.MainScreen";
VAR num mystatus:=0;

 UIShow Name, Type Status:=mystatus;

Hello,

 

The name should be a gtpu dll.

CONST string Name:="TpsViewUserInterface_928.gtpu.dll";

 

The typeName should be

ABB.Robotics.sdk.Views."MainScreen as defined in ScreenMaker"

Any screen in ScreenMaker can be made as MainScreen.

 

So if "UserInterface_1" is made as (main) in ScreenMaker, then type name would be
CONST string Type:="ABB.Robotics.SDK.Views.UserInterface_1";

Hi,

 

Thank you very much. Now it is working.

 

Is it possible to open a screen that isnot set as Main?

Hello,

 

It is not possible to open a screen that is not set as main directly without performing any action from the mainscreen.
