fwCtrlUtils
8.5.0
|
The fwCtrlUtils component of JCOP Framework provides a set of WinCC OA control extensions delivering extended functionality for the CTRL scripting language.
For the reasons of maintenance separate control extensions are provided for each domain of functionality. The available extensions are listed under the "Modules" tree and in the chapters that follow.
After the component is installed, the extensions reside in the bin/ subfolder of the component, and (as each CTRL extension) they have a form of dynamically-loaded binary library, with the .so extension on Linux, and .dll on Windows.
The recommended way to load the library into a panel, script or library which needs to make use of the functionality is through the #uses statement, whereby the file extension is not specified (so that the proper .so/.dll is used depending on the operating system), e.g.:
Even though it is also possible to load the extension by specifying an adequate LoadCtrlDLL statement in the project confiuration file, it is disouraged to do so; explicit loading with the #uses statement makes it easier to track dependencies.
