Dialog selection
9.1
Dialog selection using PLC softkeys
Configuration
Description of the procedure:
● The systemconfiguration.ini contains a section [keyconfiguration]. The entry specifies an
action for a special PLC softkey.
● A number is given as an action. A "Run MyScreens" call is involved if the number is greater
than or equal to 100.
● A section for defining the action to be performed must be created in the easyscreen.ini file.
The name of the section is based on the name of the operating area and the dialog name
(see entry under [keyconfiguration] → Area:=..., Dialog:=...) → [<Area>_<Dialog>]
→ e.g. [AreaParameter_SlPaDialog].
● The action numbers (which were given in the systemconfiguration.ini → see Action:=...) are
defined in this section. There are two commands involved:
1. LS("Softkey menu1","param.com") ... Loading a softkey menu
2. LM("Screen form1","param.com") ... Loading a screen form
Selecting softkey menus via PLC softkeys
"Run MyScreens" makes it possible to select "Run MyScreens" softkey menus and
"Run MyScreens" dialogs via PLC softkeys. This can only be done if the "action" attribute to
be specified when configuring the relevant PLC softkeys has a value greater than or equal to
100.
PLC softkeys are configured in the file systemconfiguration.ini in the section
[keyconfiguration]:
