openUrl() is not defined when calling from WCCOACtrl

[LIGO]

Hello.

I faced a strange problem, when I'm trying to open a browser window from separate Ctrl manager (via std_help). That error appears:

WCCOActrl (3), 2017.07.21 10:38:41.620, CTRL, SEVERE, 72, Function not defined, backResRep.ctl Library: C:\\Siemens\\Automation\\WinCC_OA\\3.14\\scripts\\libs\\std.ctl
Line: 250, openUrl

It looks like some library is not included in that manager, but I can't find which one is missing. May someone guide me where to find it, or is it even possible to use that function from Ctrl manager?

openUrl() is only available in the UI manager

you can use

Code: Select all

system("start https://www.google.com/");

to open the url in your default browsers

Thank you very much, Kilian.
