Importing ​.NET Controls for Use in AVEVA OMI Panes

The .NET Controls are installed in the MES\Controls folder during the installation. To make any of the controls available for insertion into an AVEVA Operations Management Interface (OMI) pane, you import the entire Controls folder.

If you import a newer version of the .NET controls that are already used in an OMI pane, you need to restart OMI.

To import the .NET controls, you must have security permissions to import graphic objects.

1. Open the System Platform Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

2. From the ribbon, select Galaxy, then Import.

3. Select Visualization, then OMI Apps.

   The Import OMI App dialog appears.

4. Browse to and select the MES application \Controls folder, then click OK.

   The Import OMI App dialog shows the import progress.

   Note: If the import fails, a message indicates the error in the dialog box.

5. When the import is complete, click Close.

6. To see the imported controls, open an OMI ViewApp layout.

7. In the Toolbox pane, select the .NET Controls app.

   The imported controls appear in the pane.
