About ​.NET controls

.NET controls give you functionality to use in InTouch HMI symbols or InTouch OMI panes. To use this functionality, you must:

• For InTouch HMI symbols, import the .dll file containing one or more .NET controls. The .NET control is imported into the Graphic Toolbox. For OMI panes, you import the MES\MES OMI Controls folder and the controls become available as OMI Apps.

• Browse and embed one or more of the .NET controls or Apps into a new or existing InTouch HMI symbol or OMI layout. The .NET controls appear as elements.

• View and edit the exposed .NET control properties.

• Bind the .NET control properties to InTouch HMI attributes, symbol custom properties, or InTouch tags. Do this using the data binding animation.

• Configure scripts for .NET control events. Do this using the events animation.

You can then use the InTouch HMI symbol or OMI layout containing the embedded .NET control in an InTouch HMI application. The diagram below represents the use of a .NET control in an InTouch HMI symbol.
