FactoryTalk View SE Client object model

The

FactoryTalk View SE

Client object model provides a way to manipulate the graphic objects on a display at runtime and to have programmatic access to tag properties.

Using the

Microsoft

Visual Basic for Applications Integrated Design Environment (VBA IDE), you can write display code that uses the Graphic objects in the

FactoryTalk View SE

Client object model to interact with the objects on displays at runtime, as well as load, hide, and unload displays. In addition, you can create tag groups, read and write tag values, receive notification when a tag value or quality changes, and access extended properties for HMI tags.

You cannot create new graphic or tag objects, or edit existing objects, with the

FactoryTalk View SE

Client object model. Any changes you make to a display and its objects at runtime are not saved. For example, if you change the position of an object on a display, the next time the display is loaded, the object will be in its original position. This does not apply to ActiveX controls which might save property changes after a test run has changed them.
