Can't select tag after expand to full screen (F11)

[ORSO2001]

Dear All,

I update at the version 1.18.37 without any problem; I created a new program and I see that if I expand in full screen (F11) I can't select the tag for the HMI object; if I let the screen in "normal size" it works; what can be wrong? to be clear...the tags list appears but if I try to select one of it I don't select it but a row int the "properties window" of the same object.

ladder works in both condition.

I opened some project done with the version 1.17.73...and for all I saw that some local tags was highlighted as "this tag can be link..."; the local tags was BUFFER.

[Saragani]

Please send me the project with the buffer. The tag is probably forbidden from being used as a local tag, but I can check it better with the project.

You are right about the problem with the Properties Window. I'll open a bug on this issue.

We have totally replaced the property grid and the docking (you can now dock-out panes from UniLogic), so there still might be small issues.

[Saragani]

OK,

I have fixed this issue and passed it to the QA. If it works correctly, then it will be a part of UniLogic 1.18 SP release.

[ORSO2001]

Dear Saragni,

ok, how can I send you the project? the project was done with 1.17.73

Maybe I found another issue; in my project is present a "PDF viewer"; if I compile the project but the file is missing in the MEDIA folder the "recover alarm" window appear and the unilogic closes; if the file is present in the folder it works.

in the version 1.17.73 I have a warning that the file is missing but the copile procedure is done without problem.

 

[Saragani]

try sending the project to ---------------- (email address removed)

Tell me when you sent it (because if I don't get it, then it got blocked by the IT).

 

Btw, when UniLogic crashes, can you please send the crash report?

Dear Saragani,

I sent a mail.

thanks

[Saragani]

Hi, 

As i thought, the buffer is being used in the COM Tx element.  COM is an IO, and sending data with COM is not immediate. This is why the send is being performed in a different thread (else, it would affect the scan time of the ladder).

 

When you define something as Local, then it is being allocated on the stack, meaning that once the function ends, the data is left on the stack, and might get overwritten when another function is being called, and junk data might be sent.

 

I can't reproduce the missing media problem.

[ORSO2001]

Dear Saragni,

ok I understood. 

About the issue with the missing media file...as I wrote when it happens, before the crash of the unilogic, the "recovery alarm window" appear...if you want I do the procedure and send the report...let me know.

thanks

[Saragani]

Yes, send me the crash report. I might help me to identify the problem.

[ORSO2001]

Dear Saragani,

see below for problem detail; however I sent the report as in the procedure:

<<System.InvalidOperationException>> from <<System.Xml>>

OK, it is not related to the missing file, but actually to the Themes feature.

We are still investigating why it happens (It doesn't reproduce here, and you've also said that it doesn't always happen).

Can you please check which version of .Net framework you have?

 

Thanks.

[ORSO2001]

I have 2 PC...in one, where  for sure I have the problem, I have NET framework 4 ....in the second i don't know....I will check later.

[Saragani]

So no .Net 4.5, 4.51, 4.52 or 4.6/4.6.1?

 

Edit: I've been able to reproduce the problem on a Windows 7 VM with only .Net 4.0 installed.

The problem will probably be gone if you update your .net framework (Mine was updated automatically by windows updates).

Now, when I can reproduce the problem, then I can write and check a fix for it.

[ORSO2001]

yes sorry, I have Windows 7 with .Net framework 4.0

[ORSO2001]

Dear Saragani,

I updated the .NET framework at 4.6.1 and the issue is gone.

I wait the SP for the version 1.18 to fix the HMI tag problem in full size screen.

Thanks

[Saragani]

Thanks for the info.

Anyway, I've fixed that issue, so all people who still have .Net 4.0 (including XP users who cannot update the .Net framework) will have it working. If it passes the QA, then it will be a part of the SP.
