[Flexpendant SKD5.14] write rapiddata string

markdyk

Hi all,

I have a little problem with writing rapiddata to the robotcontroller. I have the following code:

[code]
    Private Sub WriteRapidString(ByVal Task As String, ByVal ModuleName As String, ByVal VariableName As String, ByVal Value As String)
        Dim AController As Controller
        AController = New Controller

        Dim RapidString As ABB.Robotics.Controllers.RapidDomain.String
        Dim RD As ABB.Robotics.Controllers.RapidDomain.RapidData = AController.Rapid.GetRapidData(Task, ModuleName, VariableName)

        If TypeOf RD.Value Is RapidDomain.String Then
            RapidString = DirectCast(RD.Value, RapidDomain.String)
            RapidString.FillFromString(Value)
            RD.Value = RapidString
        End If

        AController.Dispose()
        RD.Dispose()
    End Sub
[/code]

When I do exactly the same for a RapidBool then the code is working well. The variable on the controller is modified when the code is executed. When I try the code above (changed the rapidbool vars to rapidstring vars) then the code is executed, but it seems that the line "RD.Value=Rapidstring" is doing nothing.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Ok, I think I'm getting close

when I replace
[code]

RapidString.FillFromString(Value)

[/code]
by
[code]

RapidString.FillFromString("Testing123")

[/code]
Then the rapidstring is modified with "Testing123". Why isn't it working with a string variable?
