I was doing some porting to Mac iOS and Linux, so I removed some references and forgot to put them back.

- Right click the AdvancedHMIControls project in Solution Explorer and select Properties
- Go to the References atb
- At the bottom you will see Imported Namespaces
- Scroll down the list to find Microsoft.VisualBasic and check that box

Thanks , very much appreciated

[Darrell]

getting the same message , just the LinearMeter controls that it wont take

[Archie]

Replace each MsgBox with this and let me know if that helps :

System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show

[Darrell]

crashes the program , Ill just wait till it sorted out later

Darrell,

I had the same problem as you and I added the "Microsoft.VisualBasic" Namespace as Archie noted and this did not help.
What I found was that if I added "Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings." in front of the three function errors this fixed my problem.
I have attached a picture showing the details for the "LinearMeterVert.vb" and the "LinearMeterHoriz.vb".
I hope that this helps you with your problem.

Darrell/Archie,

I found another way to make this work and that is by adding "Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic" as shown below.
I have no idea why this would be necessary but it may help point to the problem.

Archie,

I think that I may have found the actual problem.
It appears that you must select the "AdvancedHMIControls" section of the Project.
The go to the Properties and References and check the Microsoft.VisualBasic there.
I have included screen captures of what seems to work with the least amount of effort.
These are shown as they were found and need to be checked to work correctly.
Surely enough when I checked in my Version 3.95 project this item was selected.
This single change seems to fix all that happened to me that was similar to Darrell's problems.

I added these references back in for version 3.97
