Missing modbus drivers in toolbox pane
« on: June 07, 2019, 02:55:45 PM »
Compiled the latest AdvancedHMIv399xR1 in VS2010 with SP1. The Modbus drivers are not in the toolbox. I see the ModbusRTUCom.vb and ModbusTCPCom.vb files in the AdvancedHMI\AdvancedHMIDrivers\Modbus folder. How to get these 2 drivers to show up in the toolbox?

Here is a workaround. Drag any driver onto the form, rebuild, open the code tab or any other tab, click back to the form design tab, all the missing drivers are now in the toolbox. Now delete the test driver, drag the correct driver, all the drivers are still in the toolbox when visual studio is restarted. However, if the form contains no driver, then all the missing drivers are missing again when visual studio is restarted. Weird.

This is a known issues prior to VS2017

Any reason you are using such an old version? VS2010 is no longer considered supported with AdvancedHMI.
