Hal Remote Component Usage

[pauloasherring]

Hey there!
First of all, I have to start congratulating you for this wonderful piece of software! It sure is a usage case for me!
Regarding my issue: I am trying working on a custom GUI, based on QtQuickVCP. I am implementing a manual tool change routine, based on remote hal components. I am using Cetus as a starting point. The following code is supposed to access the remote components:
` RowLayout {
id: container
anchors.margins: 5
Label{
text: "testingLabel"
}

            HalButton{
                name: "userChangedTool"
                Layout.alignment: Layout.Center
                text: qsTr("Continue")
                checkable: false
                //enabled: toolChangeButtonEnable.value

            }
            HalLed {
                id: toolChangeButtonEnable
                Layout.alignment: Layout.Center
                name: "toolChangeButtonEnable"
            }
            Service {
                id: halrcompService
                type: "halrcomp"
            }
            Service {
                id: halrcmdService
                type: "halrcmd"
            }
            HalRemoteComponent {
                 halrcmdUri: halrcmdService.uri
                 halrcompUri: halrcompService.uri
                 ready: (halrcmdService.ready && halrcompService.ready) || (state === HalRemoteComponent.Connected)
                 name: "toolChangeControl"
                 containerItem: container
            }
        }`

The issue is that if I add the code to a existing tab, such as inside the "ManualTab.qml", it does not work and if I add it to its own tab, is works without a glitch. Given that it works normally in its own tab, I think that it might have something to do with my implementation itself. It might be interacting along with other elements added to the tab, such as "ApplicationObject" or "ApplicationCore".
in that case, what should be the approach to get a remote component and a applicationcore component to work together?
Best Regards.
Paulo Sherring.

Make sure to create the contaierItem "container" reference by the HalRemoteComponent and that this Item is not contained in another containerItem/HalRemoteComponent.

Inside a Tab, also make sure that the Tab is set to active: true. Best take a look at the Cetus and Machineface source code for some examples of multiple HAL remote components.
