What is the best way to update the version of AHMI already used in a project ?

Curses to those things and to AB for making them that way!

What is the best way to update the version of AHMI already used in a project ?

- Download an extract the latest version
- Open the latest version in Visual Studio
- In Solution Explorer, right click the AdvancedHMI project and select Add->Existing
- Browse to your old project and into the AdvancedHMI folder
- Select the *.vb file for each form your created (Select only one at a time for each Add-Existing)

If you used BasicLabels, you will get an error for KeyapAlphaNumeric property. Double click each error and switch the h and a to correct the spelling.

Outch, I'll probably stand with my current version... ^^

It's a 15 form project with around the same amount of custom/modified controls... I suppose that I'm going into some troubles with that..!

There's not a way of replacing some .dll or so just to update the drivers and controls ?

Another method to try is to copy your complete \AdvancedHMI folder into the new version, replacing the existing.

I tried this, I got 74 errors due to custom control from the Purchased Controls that was no more recognized.  Then trying to build the Project just crashed Visual Studio. ^_^

But I found the solution : I replaced the .dd files in the Support Folder. Worked like a charm.

This will not give you all of the updates. For example, the BasicLabel updates are not in the DLL files.

I know, but for the others it means that I can correct them by hand... I made it for the "Alpah" error. ^^ Not sure if I missed other updates, but all-in-all it was mostly the drivers and Controls updates that were needed.

Edit : yep I missed a few features... I just hope that I got the Modbus ones..!
