Hi…

In RAPID, TPShow function can show FlexPendant windows from RAPID. According to RAPID manual, there are only three predefined data. If I connect something to FP window, such as below:

**TPShow** USERMADE\_WINDOW;

this USERMADE\_WINDOW is te user-designed window page using FPSDK. In this case, if I would like to call this window using TPShow like above, the USERMADE\_WINDOW must be defined but I don’t have any idea for that. Does anybody know about this?? Please answer me thank you…:nauseated\_face:

Hello,

this is (unfortunately) not possible in RW5.06 release since the TPShow command is not supported (see release notes of 5.06):

**RAPID instruction TPShow not working in IRC5 system**

It is possible to execute the old instruction TPShow in IRC5 system, but it has no influence on FlexPendant windows.

best regards

Ren?
