Hello im trying to edit some screens in Screen4. When i open a lset file i san select buttons and images in the screen, but as soon as i move a button i can't select it anymore.
Does anyone else experience this strange behaviour?
im using Win 8 and the latest Screen4

Thank you!

Yes i have searched on google and read al kinds of manuals... But i cant access modbus directly from VB scripts. I cant find any working examples on the net that work with arduino modbus.
Anyway i made it work using UserLEDs (1000 and up) so there is no need for me to directly access modbus from vb scripts i use brains as a pass troug so thank you very much for your idea for using DROs ) and thank you for your time

I was looking in all kind of manuals... Only the one that i posted has a section that describes VB commands to acces modbus directly.... But as i said i dont know how to use them... I tried all kind of variables to define the vb command but nothing works...

Arduino is loaded with the Modbus program.... And it is connected to the usb port. But windows sees the arduino as a virtual com port (com7 for example). Tgeoretically it is a com port but it communicates as modbus... In config you have to enable modbus communication and you have to setup tables for modbus (cfg1 output-coil and pin number) then you just call a modbus config from brains...
I dont use inpits and outputs of a LPT port. All non-time critical inputs and outputs go via modbus. Homing and index and limit switches go trough Smoothstepper.

Yes i saw in a manual the codes but i dont understand how to use them... It doesn't work...
In this manual:
https://www.google.si/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://d1.amobbs.com/bbs_upload782111/files_20/ourdev_492319.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwjs5pTnktfKAhXDtA4KHTHoAxo4ChAWCBcwAA&usg=AFQjCNE9qLuf2L24g04ap7tpgXqIoNnf9A&sig2=RH-NwvG6CMPxpbX4iHxkvw
I tried to use: SetOutBit(buffIndex, Bit Number) as Integer.. But i don't know what buffIndex is and what bit number is...  I thought you just enter the cfg number and set it high or low but i doesn't work. Maybe someone else made it work?

This woul be alot simpler if i could manipulate the inputs and outputs directly from VB scripts. But i cant find any commands or examples that do that on a arduino :/
