RSLogix Automation Interface - RSLinx Whoactive??

thread791-53116

RSLogix Automation Interface - RSLinx Whoactive??

RSLogix Automation Interface - RSLinx Whoactive??

(OP)
Hi all... I've got a VB program using the automation interface.  I want to allow the program to be able to open up a Linx WhoActive window... so that you can select the driver and node of the processor to go online with.  Does anyone know if there are any references or another way to get a whoactive window from vb?  I browsed through my list of references in visual basic, and there are a few RSLinx references, but I don't think any of them will work for what I'm trying to accomplish.  This would be much more useful than having them enter the driver and node manually.

Thanks

Couldn't you just write a simple function that opens RSLinx?

I suppose one could do that pretty easily - but I still wouldn't have access to any of the objects selected in Linx.  All I really want to do is open a whoactive window, have the user select a driver/node - and have that returned to my VB.  Kinda like when you open controller properties, you see they have a whoactive button there that does exactly that.  I don't believe there is a way to do what I'm asking, but I was throwing it out there in case someone a bit more advanced than myself could help out.  Thanks for your reply.
