Question
How can I programmatically change the Filter in the FactoryTalk Alarm and Events Summary object in FactoryTalk
View SE?

Environment
FactoryTalk View local (Standalone)
FactoryTalk View network (Site Edition)
FactoryTalk Alarm and Events

Answer
The Filters can be selected at Runtime programmatically by using the FactoryTalk Alarms and Events Summary
Object Method

VOID Filtername(String)

To do this

1. Add the FactoryTalk Alarm and Event Summary object to a display and expose it to VBA.
2. Click Properties and then select the Display Filters tab
3. Set up the Filters as required.
4. In VBA for the event write the code to set the Filter name

For example to set the Filter named "Filter1" by clicking on a Command Button the
following code would be used

Private Sub Button1_Released()

AlarmEventSummary1.FilterName = "Filter1"

End Sub
