| Using cicode to show the Properties page
of the Process Analyst does block Citect and so trend and alarms
are not recorded until you close the Properties page. This is the
case for calling any automation method on an ActiveX control which
displays a modal dialog in Citect.
In the case of the Process Analyst, the Print, AddPen and
Properties methods have been implemented for embedding the Process
Analyst into a Visualbasic or C/C++ application. Using Cicode to
call any function which spawns a modal dialog from an Active X
control will block the cicode and consequently Citect.
Alternatively you could use CiVBA for methods which need to
display modal dialog boxes. This will allow the trends and alarms
to continue, but the outside graphics will halt.
