Have you tested TpsViewHotEdit.dll?

Not sure if it will work or not but maybe worth a try…

Maybe…  
MODULE MainModule  
PROC main()  
CONST string Name:=“tpsviewhotedit.dll”;  
CONST string Type:=“ABB.Robotics.Tps.HotEdit.TpsViewHotEdit”;  
VAR num mystatus:=0;  
UIShow Name, Type Status:=mystatus;  
ENDPROC  
ENDMODULE

OK. It’s perfect.

In TpsViewHotEdit.dll see the “Name” having much luck. Comparing TpsBackupAndRestore.dll with TpsViewHotEdit.dll located in the Tps folder in the RobotWare, you can deduct the “Name”, but unreadable, this after the same series of strange characters and following the same pattern of words.

It is not the most orthodox way to discover the “Name”, but was effective moments after receiving your reply to my question.

If you do not mind my asking, how did you know you?.

Thank you very much for your quick and accurate response.

Jesus.
