Writing to field on Jog screen

[ger21]

I'm saving my jogging values to the profile with M99999,
And I want to load them using a VB plugin, but it doesn't seem to work.
Using this code:

Code: Select all

keystring = UC.Readkey("2022_Jog_Speeds", "913", "False") '// Jog Speed %
        If keystring = "" Then
            UC.Setfieldtext(True, "10", 913) : UC.Validatefield(True, 913)
        Else
            UC.Setfieldtext(True, keystring, 913) : UC.Validatefield(True, 913)
        End If

        keystring = UC.Readkey("2022_Jog_Speeds", "2027", "False") '// Jog Distance
        If keystring = "" Then
            UC.Setfieldtext(True, "0.001", 2027) : UC.Validatefield(True, 2027)
        Else
            UC.Setfieldtext(True, keystring, 2027) : UC.Validatefield(True, 2027)
        End If

Is there way to specify AS3Jog in a plugin, or is it something else? Thanks.

Gerry, you're close, change the 'true' to 'false' in the setfieldtext call:

Code: Select all



        If keystring = "" Then
            UC.Setfieldtext(False, "10", 913) : UC.Validatefield(True, 913)
        Else
            UC.Setfieldtext(False, keystring, 913) : UC.Validatefield(True, 913)
        End If



I just made the above change and tested it quick.

regards,
Eric

Damn. I tried that, but I set the Validate to false as well.
I found one little line in Robert's manual that mentioned not true was for the jog screen.

Thanks.

Next question.
How to get the Button State of a button on the jog screen?

Code: Select all

Dim Btnstate1 As Boolean = UC.Getbuttonstate(161)
Dim Btnstate2 As Boolean = UC.Getbuttonstate(162)
MsgBox(Btnstate1)
MsgBox(Btnstate2)


These always return False? (They are both Toggle Type)

Answering my own question, use this instead:

Code: Select all

Dim Btnstate1 As Boolean = UC.GetLED(145)
Dim Btnstate2 As Boolean = UC.GetLED(146)
MsgBox(Btnstate1)
MsgBox(Btnstate2)
