5284

Screen Management

When the "Variable is Alarm Group" option from the "Background Color" or "Dynamic Text - Edge Color" was enabled without variable inserted or checkbox was unchecked, the Movicon application would generate an error in runtime when the object had to be animated.

 

5308

WinCE OS

In some conditions, in a WinCE project, the Trace file of a variable (recorded with SQLCE 3.0) would get deleted or recreated, losing all its old data.

PROBLEM SOLVED

5313

Setup

XML files for customizing 3D buttons are no longer installed due to a change in managing colors for these button types.

 

5285

Screen Objects

When a client project was created with the parent-child techniques, the "Scheduler Window" object's drop-down list would not show the parent project's schedulers. This problem starting happening with build 1015.

 

5247

Setup

When Installing a MoviconRunTime.exe runtime module some DLL essential to running this module would not get installed.

 

5250

User Interface

The "MoviconRuntime.exe" module would not run in Windows VISTA generating a "Runtime Error" message.

 

5254

WinCE OS

Transferring a project to a WinCe device using the TCP plugin would fail if project a very   large sized file.

 

5196

Design

A child project variable would only get updated in read only when managed in field communications in certain conditions. As a consequence, when modifying the variable in the project, the new value would not get written in the field.

 

5231

Screen Objects

When opening a project created with versions previous to build 1008, the Display object's "Spin Size" property value would set to the "Medium" value in cases where attribute was not defined in the object's xml definition.

 

5233

Design

The cross reference print preview window would corrupt the windows registry and as a consequence it became impossible to run Movicon without resetting the registry keys for the Movicon application beforehand.

 

4986

Networking

Display windows such as the Alarms window, Historical Log Window, etc. from a Client project would not connect to Server if a Windows user was logged on to the Client project.

 

5015

Design

Movicon would raise an error when selecting a variable from the Tag Browser window. This problem occurred when selecting a structure variable member from the Tag Browser when being modified as another type.

 

5034

License

In certain cases problems with viewing the software license. The site key would install correctly but when restarting the Movicon application, the software license could not longer be seen. The software license's Cryptkey manager service has now been updated.

 

5321

Design

The "undo" operation executed after modifying objects thought the Project Explorer window would send Movicon into error.

 

5336

Screen Objects

Pens set with logarithmic scales would not get drawn correctly when obtaining negative values with the "Automatic  Scale" option enabled.

 

5358

Screen Objects

Mouse clicks would have no effect when using the "Scheduler" object from a Client project.

 

5180

WinCE OS

Print operations carried out in WinCE would not conclude successfully when using a printer with a custom driver.

 

3283

Setup

When Movicon launched an external executable in Windows Vista with the UAC enabled, the Windows PCA (Program Compatibility Assistance) would intervene impeding the tool's execution. The generated message was misleading as it stated that the file could not be found when this wasn't true.

 

4459

Design

While transferring a project to WinCE the ".movrefactoring" file would also get uploaded. This file is not needed for runtime and usually is quite heavy and therefore is no longer transferred.

 

5126

IMDB (In Memory DB)

Problem would occur in certain cases recording float data in IMDB format. This concerned the decimal point separator which would go astray, for example; a 1.234 value would get read as 1234.

 

5022

Networking

The networking "enable Compression" property would not get handled. Even when enabled it would have not effect.

 

4774

Screen Management

When opening a screen set as model or frame in Movicon CE, it would not display the title bar, borders and system menu correctly in respect to the settings selected in the command.

4778

Screen Objects

The text of a combox would not display completely when not aligned centrally.

 

5215

Basic Scripts

In certain conditions memory space would get occupied using a variable's "DBVariableCmdTarget" interface's "InUse" property. This same problem would also occur with the  "VariableInUse" method.

 

5262

Alarm Management

Retentive files of all the alarms configured in a project would get created at its startup. In some cases this would prolong the project's startup.  Now these files are created when the alarms are activated.

 

5318

OPC Communication

The Movicon OPC Client would write values just read from the Server, in case which the item had been duplicated.  Now duplicated items (in both the name and the variable it uses) are no longer connected with the OPC Server leaving an error message in the log.

 

5220

Design

Saving projects deriving from versions prior to the 11.0 would changed some objects' style properties.

 

5221

Design

The "Get History" button would show in the Alarm window when opening a project created with versions prior to 11.0. Now this button is no longer displayed if not modified in the object's property for those projects created with previous versions.

 

5229

Screen Objects

The Gauge object's "Knob Style" property would set to the "Default" value when opening a project created with version prior to build 1008 in cases where no attribute had been defined in the object's xml definition.

 

5230

Screen Objects

Opening a project created with versions prior to the build 1008 the value in the Combo Box object's "Spin Size" property would set to the "Medium" value in case where no attribute had been defined in the object's xml definition.

 

4846

Design

The ID "12828" property description was incorrect.  The new text is:

 

Item Texts Font

Select the preferred Font type for the item texts listed on the window [ID12828]

 

4656

Setup

An error would occur when installing the HilscherMPI driver using ActiveSync in a WinCE device.

 

5186

WinCE OS

The "Embedded Screen" object in a project run on WinCE would not load the screen correctly if found inside a folder.
