Simple Application [WebWare SDK]

champi87

Hi, I'm new in the programing of robot interface and I want to make a simple application. I would like to make this application in visual basic with visual studio 2008, I have the webware software with its ActiveX controls, I want to make a simple interface for "Load a program" into the controller and "execute the program"
Can someone help me?

Thank you very much and sorry for me english

Klaus

webware is used in VB6 to connect to SC4.

 VS2008 is vb.net used with RAB to connect to IRC5.

Are wee talking SC4 controller or IRC5?

Is the controller S4C and the robot IRC1400

so without VB6 I can't do nothing?

Klaus

No Webware SDK is only to bee used in VB6.

With VB6 and the instruction

 

Dim resulid As Long

Dim File As String

File= "flp1:G4_PRO.prg"

h.S4ProgramLoad(0,File,1,resulid)

 

should it work?

Hello

 

I am sorry to say that this is wrong

No Webware SDK is only to bee used in VB6.

 

Webware SDK is based on COM and activeX components which are still supported by Microsof tools including VB.NET and C#. Just refer toMicrosoft documentation on how to incorporate Activex component to your .NET project.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1w560tdz.aspx

 

I wander if there was not explanantion in the SDK documentation or Help because the events are managed a bit differently in .NET, but Microsoft describe it as COM and ACTIVEX is Microsoft Technology

 

I had also created .NET samples which should still be in the Webware SDK CD

They were done for VS.NET 2003 and should be upgraded to VS.NET 2008 or 2010

Sorry to missinform, but that was what i was told from ABB back in 2006.

Tried my self to use the activeX in VS2003 and it didn't work so i used VB6 with good results

I only have VS 2008 but I don't want to do something complicated only load and execute a program from the computer, Can you help me with this? whats are the instructions that I need? and how can I make it?

Thank you for your interest

JC ALT

You need also to initiate the helper with the alias name , I imagine you did that

 You can look in the sample in the WW SDK CD or installation , there is an application called workcell which contains sample of usage of most of the features
