Hello,

I tried to launch the “RobotWareArc GUI” from my custom application , but it doesnA’t work.According to the SDK Reference Guide it should be possible , maybe i do something wrong.  
Has someone done this before ?

This is my code :

private void btnRobotWareArc\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

try

{

if (iTpsSite.LaunchView(“TpsViewArc.dll”, “ABB.Robotics.Processes.Arc.ArcViewDesktop”, null, true, out \_cookieD) != true)

{

GTPUMessageBox.Show(this, null, “Could not start User application”);

return;

}

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

GTPUMessageBox.Show(this, null, ex.ToString());

}

}

Hi  
I’m a bit confused…Can you please tell me:  
-In which manual did you find this?  
-Which is the version of the manual?

Hi,

This can be found in the “FlexPendant SDK Reference guide” located at C:Program FilesABB Industrial ITRobotics ITSDKFlexPendant SDK 5.13

Search for =\> ITpsViewLaunchServices.LaunchView method

It now works , i was missing some code in the ITpsViewSetup.Install method.
