Hello everyone, I have this code and before the prints, I want to show the value of the two tags (tgCanal and tgSector) in case of the tag pathCanal has a value and then show it the label lblCanalTag and lblSectorTag but is not working. ```auto pathCanal="[default]app_tags/Componentes/ArranquePedidos/Alarma_Canal_Vacio" pathSector="[default]app_tags/Componentes/ArranquePedidos/Alarma_Sector_Vacio" if pathCanal: system.nav.centerWindow('User Management/mensajeAlarma') lblCanalTag = system.gui.getParentWindow(event).getComponentForPath('Root Container.lblCanalTag') lblSectorTag = system.gui.getParentWindow(event).getComponentForPath('Root Container.lbSectorTag') tgCanal = system.tag.readBlocking("[default]app_tags/Componentes/ArranquePedidos/Alarma_Canal_Vacio") tgSector = system.tag.readBlocking("[default]app_tags/Componentes/ArranquePedidos/Alarma_Sector_Vacio") lblCanalTag=tgCanal lblSectorTag=tgSector print lblCanalTag print lblSectorTag ``` ---

Some thoughts: 1. Where is this script running? There are lots of places scripts can be run, but only a few places that can interact with vision windows. 2. Right now your if statement on line 4 will always be true because you’re not reading the value of a tag. 3. It’s more efficient to do all your tag reads at once. 4. system.tag.readBlocking returns a list of QualifiedValues. a. To read one path, you do this: `system.tag.readBlocking(["[default]tagFolder/tagName")[0].value` 5. Every component has properties. You can’t just write a value to a component. You have to write to the appropriate property. If your tagpaths aren’t dynamic, maybe something like this: ```auto pathCanal="[default]app_tags/Componentes/ArranquePedidos/Alarma_Canal_Vacio" pathSector="[default]app_tags/Componentes/ArranquePedidos/Alarma_Sector_Vacio" canalValue,sectorValue = system.tag.readBlocking( [pathCanal,pathSector] ) if canalValue.value: system.nav.centerWindow('User Management/mensajeAlarma') lblCanalTag = system.gui.getParentWindow(event).getComponentForPath('Root Container.lblCanalTag') lblSectorTag = system.gui.getParentWindow(event).getComponentForPath('Root Container.lbSectorTag') # these will only be correct if this type of component has a value property. # lblCanalTag.text would also be something to try. lblCanalTag.value=canalValue.value lblSectorTag.value=sectorValue.value print canalValue.value print sectorValue.value ``` Edits: @pascal.fragnoud caught some mistakes. ---

Why did you duplicate the tags paths ? ---

Assuming that `lblCanalTag` and `lblSectorTag` are actually label components, you need to assign the the tag values to the `text` property. ```auto tagPaths = ['[default]app_tags/Componentes/ArranquePedidos/Alarma_Canal_Vacio','[default]app_tags/Componentes/ArranquePedidos/Alarma_Sector_Vacio'] tgCanal, tgSector = [qval.value for qval in system.tag.readBlocking(tagPaths)] if tgCanal: system.nav.centerWindow('User Management/mesajeAlarma') system.gui.getParentWindow(event).getComponentForPath('Root Container.lblCanalTag').text = tgCanal system.gui.getParentWindow(event).getComponentForPath('Root Container.lbSectorTag').text = tgSector ``` However, this kind of makes me wonder why you aren’t just binding the labels to the tags? ---

Thanks both, it worked
