|---|---|
ProgramLocation Required | This connection contains the complete path and file name of the FoxIt reader program. This property can be an explicit string or a string tag. For example, you can use a string tag whose value is Windows\FoxItReader.exe , if FoxIt Reader resides in \Windows . |
FocusEnable Optional | While FoxIt reader is running, the FactoryTalk View ME project may not be visible if it is in the background or minimized.When the assigned tag transitions from a zero to a non-zero value, the FactoryTalk View ME project is restored to the foreground. |
LaunchEnable Required | When the assigned tag transitions from a zero to a non-zero value, the control launches FoxIt reader. The application is launched, maximized, and given focus. This connection must be a tag. |
NewInstance Optional | This connection configures how the control will act if FoxIt Reader is already executing when the FactoryTalk View ME application attempts to launch another instance.If the configured tag is set to zero, the control will restore FoxIt Reader to the foreground. If the configured tag is set to one, the control will attempt to launch an additional instance of FoxIt Reader. |
MaximizeEnable Optional | If FoxIt Reader becomes hidden behind the FactoryTalk View ME project or minimized to the Taskbar, this property allows the application to be maximized. To restore a minimized application, before triggering the LaunchEnable tag, set the tag configured in MaximizeEnable to a non-zero value and the tag configured in NewInstance to zero. |
CloseProgram Optional | When the assigned tag transitions from a zero to a non-zero value, the CloseProgram property will close FoxIt Reader.If multiple ActiveX controls are used to launch multiple applications, only the control that launched a particular instance of an application can be used to close that application. |
