I would like to place a feature request for the ability to get the current state of an individual output from milestone through the c# API by providing it’s name. I have reviewed StatusViewer sample and this does not provide the specific functionality I am looking for.
Thanks!
I’m with you there. I’ve written a status monitor class library similar to the StatusViewer sample in the past so that my viewmodel could retrieve an individual device’s state instantly at any given time. Kept my VM clean and was a reusable component, but it’s admittedly quite a bit of work when it seems like it could be as easy as something like “Item.GetStatus()” instead.
I don’t have that lib anymore but if I get some time later this week I’ll try to put one together and share it if you think it’d be of use.
We also need a function to initially determine the status of an input or output for display when our program starts. is this function included in the current MIP SDK 2019R3 or in MIP SDK2020R2?
