Support Questions / Re: Control Communications Stopped when within a Container Group Box

Regarding VS Versions, one of us is running VS 2013 Pro and another VS Community.  It responded the same way with both.
We will remove the boxes and use something else - too risky

Thanks lots for your response Archie.

Support Questions / Control Communications Stopped when within a Container Group Box

« on: April 21, 2015, 02:46:38 PM »

Hi!

Maybe you can help us understand what is happening.

Within a form we had three Container Group Boxes with controls (gauges, etc.) on each.
The controls in the right most container communicated with the PLC whereas the controls in the other two containers stopped doing so all of a sudden.
Also, the properties were lost when it was running as the text written for the control did not show.
This can be seen in the difference in the screen shots below (one is in develop mode, the other is running).

When we  changed the font gdiCharSet property from 0 to 1 in just two controls, the font indications in the property form became bold and everything started working in all controls in both non-working boxes.

There must be logic for this to act this way somewhere but we don't know what's happening and what we should be doing to make this work all the time.  BTW, once the characters go bold, it doesn't seem to matter whether gdiCharSet is "1" or "0"; they stay bold.

We are new to vb.net but have programmed in VB6 for several years.

Thanks for your assistance!

Hi!
This is my first post and we are new to HMIAdvanced doing our first project with it and we are impressed.

We are getting the same Output several times with different thread as outlined above while we are using the Modbus protocol with an AutomationDirect PLC - i.e.:
                   - "The thread 0x.... has exited with code 259 (0x103)."
Is there a troubleshooting guide for this or has there been a work around?

Many thanks!
