Umbenennen von Symbolen

[maerz@staudinger-est.de]

Hallo,

wenn man Instanzen von einem Symbol gemacht hat und es danach umbenennt, gehen alle Instanzen davon verloren (statt dem Symbol wird nur noch ein schwarzes X angezeigt).

Wie lässt sich das verhindern oder muß man wirklich alle Instanzen des Symbols neu erzeugen?

Ja, die Symbole beziehen sich auf den Namen, dadurch gehen die Verknüpfungen verloren

Wenn möglich zu Beginn der Projektierung den Namen so wählen, das er nicht mehr umbenannt werden muß!

Ich habe zu diesem Zweck einen VBA Wizard gemacht (frmSymbolNameWizard) welcher in einem Projekt alle Bilder durchläuft und die Namen der verlinkten Symbole austauscht (funktioniert auch mit verlinkten Symbole in Combi-Elementen).

Der Wizard ist im Anhang zu finden.

The .zip file provided needs to be extracted and placed into C:\ProgramData\COPA-DATA\[ZENON_VERSION]\Wizards. There is also a .ini file named wizards.ini that needs to be edited in order for zenon to recognize the newly added wizard.



The first entry that needs to be edited is under [DEFAULT], named "COUNT". "COUNT" needs to match the amount of Wizards entered into wizards.ini. The wizard itself then needs to be added to wizards.ini. The format for the wizard entry is:

[WIZARD_x]
NAME=
VERSION=
PATH=
VB_NAME=
VB_TYPE=
DELETE=

Thanks Christina for your reply.

But I am getting this error when insert symbol:


These are the ways I added the wizard, am I doing it the right way?

1. Copy the 2 files and paste into this folder:


2. Changes in Wizard.ini


Thank you,

Hi all,

I googled about this error and follow the instructions in this link:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/983043/-compile-error-the-code-in-this-project-must-be-updated-for-use-on-64-bit-systems-error-message-when-you-edit-a-vba-macro-in-the-64-bit-version-of-an-office-2010-program

I replaced the line “Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib “kernel32” (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)” with these lines I extracted from the link:
 
#If VBA7 Then
    Private Declare PtrSafe Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal ms As LongPtr)
#Else
    Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal ms as Long)
#End If
 
The wizard is working now.
Anyhow, I have not work with VBA before.
So, my final question is: Are these new lines going to affect any other things in the VBA environment?

Thanks,
CK
