User Interface
This sample application uses these controls – Group Box, Data Grid, Buttons and Labels.
As the above user interface image shows, we are binding a set of signals to a data grid control. The 1 and 0 buttons on the right are used to modify the value of a selected signal.
Managing signals can be done from the IOSignals.cfg file. All modifications done in this file are reflected on the data grid and also vice versa.
InternalsMemory management:
- Using Dispose wherever needed to avoid memory leaks.
Stability:
- Exception handling.
Data binding:
- How to use a Signal Binding Source and a Data Grid (recommended when there is a great number of signals). The data grid property Data Source connects to a Signal Binding Source, which in turn connects to nine I/O signals in the robot controller using Databinding, which is an easy way of displaying signal changes in the robot controller. By using the property 'signalBindingSource1.Current' it is possible to set a new value to the selected signal of the data grid.
Others:
- GTPU Message Box is used for showing messages to the user.
