Greetings, I am transitioning from Rsview32 to FTVIEW SE V13. The majority of our projects contain VBA codes, and we utilized (gTagDb.QueryForTags ) to link tags from folders to tag groups. For example, we would set CycleTags(0) = gTagDb.QueryForTags("Cicli\*"), with CycleTags defined as Tags DataType. Are there any alternatives to the (gTagDb.QueryForTags) method in FTView SE or any functions that can achieve the same outcome? Thank you.
Is there anyone who can provide assistance?
Have you explored the TagGroup.Add function in VBA for search engine optimization (SEO)?
When working with VBA for search engine optimization, have you considered utilizing the TagGroup.Add method? By using this method, you can manually add each tag in a folder. However, the gTagDb.QueryForTags method allows you to add all tags in a specified folder at once. This is especially helpful for folders with over 200 tags, as adding each tag individually would be time-consuming.
In FTView SE, there isn't an exact equivalent to the gTagDb.QueryForTags method used in Rsview32. However, you could potentially iterate through the tags manually using the HMI tag dictionary. Alternatively, you can potentially make use of OPC UA or OPC DA servers for more complex or dynamic tag retrieval. There's also the possibility to use tag arrays, which provide a way to handle large amounts of data more efficiently. It might require some tweaking to your current setup, but these are potential routes you could explore.
You might want to explore using the Tag Integration feature in FTView SE - this allows you to access tags from a Logix5000 data server. With this, you can group tags and see them within the HMI tags database. However, VBA support in FTView SE has limitations when compared to Rsview32, though scripts can still be written using VBA. Unfortunately, it does lack the direct equivalent of the "QueryForTags" method. Another approach would be a 'workaround' via manually entering tag names into an array, albeit this is not as efficient as the Rsview32 method. Be sure to thoroughly test out any methods prior to full implementation!
