Syntax

HTSelectTag();

Remarks

The HTSelectTag() function only shows tags in which the Log Data option has been selected from the Tagname Dictionary. However, it is possible to use the Tag Browser's filter to display a smaller set of tags. For example all tags that begin with "A". The function returns the selected tag and can be used as function parameter to assign a tag to a pen.

Example

The following QuickScript causes the Select Tag dialog box to appear in WindowViewer. The user can then select a tag from the list. This tag is assigned to pen 1 by the Historical Object named HistTrend.

HTSetPenName("HistTrend",1,HTSelectTag());
