Tips & Tricks / Re: AdvancedHMI on a Raspberry Pi

« on: December 14, 2016, 09:45:35 AM »

Thanks Archie. That is what I thought. After searching the Mono Bugzilla, I didn't find a report that matched. I'm not going to do a bug report for an ancient Mono release. Since this is a hobby project, I'll go old school and not use any of your controls that have this issue. I can always draw something and use it as an image if I really need it.

As an aside, Mono is in the 4.xx series now, but mono-vbnc is broken against it. I really don't want to go through the change of life trying to build it against the new runtime. I think that I'll just concentrate on making OpenPlc talk to my external hardware and adding a Mqqt to Modbus-TCP gateway on the Pi.

AHMI and OpenPlc make a pretty cool and cheap stand alone controller. Thanks for releasing AHMI as a semi open source project.

Hi All,

New here and I have a question. I am running a Ras Pi 3 w/ the official 7" touch screen. I have gotten OpenPlc and AHMI 3.99s running on it. I'm running AHMI under mono 3.2.8 and the latest Raspian Jesse. I see the same problem that you can see in the screenshot in the 1st post. The desktop bleeds through the background in the tank and pipe controls. I've tried all the variants of background images and fills on the main form and the individual components to no avail.

BTW, I don't see this behavior when running the solution on a Win7 machine. While I have an ugly workaround (make the main form a solid color and the desktop the same color with no icons) and can live with it if necessary, I was wondering if there might be a solution or if this is just a limitation of the way mono handles the transparency in the components.

Thanks,
Shawn
