Chapter 7 FactoryTalk Batch ActiveX controls introduction

The ControlRecipeList control includes a shortcut menu that can be accessed
by right-clicking anywhere within the control. The availability of the
commands on the shortcut menu is determined by where the right-click
occurred; that is, whether or not a control recipe in the list was right-clicked,
and if so, which one. The menu allows you to add and command control
recipes, as well as to remove a control recipe from the ControlRecipeList
control. All of the ControlRecipeList commands can be accessed using the
shortcut menu, but only valid commands are enabled.
Like the Batch List window within the View, the ControlRecipeList is used to
create and command a batch. The ControlRecipeList ActiveX control can be
opened in several different ways.
• Use Windows Explorer to open the control.
• Create a shortcut for the control on the Windows Desktop.
• Add the control to the Batch folder in the Start menu.
Consult your System Administrator for information on setting up and
executing any of these options.
The PromptsList control enables you to display all Unacknowledged Prompts
for currently running batches. Prompts are requests for phase parameter
values and are acknowledged by providing the parameter value. A batch will
not complete its execution until all prompts are acknowledged. The
PromptsList control displays a list of batches that have a prompt(s) waiting to
be acknowledged.
