PROBLEM SOLVED

3665

DOM (Document Object Model)

The "OnPreSymbolLoading" event added for drawings. This event is called before object is initialized, therefore before the "SymbolLoading" event and allows operations to be performed which otherwise could not by the fact that the object had already been initialized. For instance, a symbol's default structure or one of its elements can be changed.

3910

Screen Objects

A scheduler's configuration using the scheduler window would have problems when the variable names in the variable list (the "Variable" column) were subject to language change. In fact, the hour plan got saved with the variable name based on the language active at that moment, and not with the actual name of the variable in the project. This would stop the variable set from being executed.

1309

Design

When importing a wmf file and then creating a symbol, the symbol would show less defined and not exactly the same as the wmf image it originated from.

1984

Basic Scripts

Switching over to runtime mode from the design ambient would stop basic events in variables within drawings from being executed even when the variable values changed.

2694

Basic Scripts

Movicon would raise an error and close when executing a script that had created references to screen objects when the screen was no longer loaded in memory.  this would happen using the "GetSynopticInterface" and "GetSubObject" functions for creating a "DrawCmdTarget" type variables within an external script resource. This error is now handled differently so that the script execution error appears without terminating the application.

4368

Design

The Cross Reference list would not show those variables which had been used in screen basic script code or in screen object basic script code.

4337

Report Management

The "Export Report" command would not work because the external process called by Movicon (ReportViewerNET.exe) would raise an error straight away.

4069

DOM (Document Object Model)

The "OnHelpAlarm" basic event of an alarm threshold would not get executed when the "Help" button was pressed within the alarm window with the selected alarm.

4316

Screen Objects

The "OnTextChanged" basic event would get handled for the grid object and scheduler window object in grid mode. As a consequence, basic script code could no longer be sued for carrying out controls on values entered in grids or scheduler window grids.

4257

Real Time DB

The Cross Reference List would not show variables that had been associated to alarms, event or data loggers, when directly associating them in the project's variable database.

4422

OPC Communication

The Movicon OPC Client XML DA was unable to connect to "unsignedbyte", "unsignedshort", "unsignedint" or "unsignedlong" type items.

4576

Real Time DB

Variable structure members' statistical data was not retentive. Thus when restarting the project their values would get initialized at zero.

4716

Report Management

The "View Synchronous" and "Print Synchronous" report category commands would not work generating a message using the devexpress report integrated within Movicon.

4748

Screen Objects

The "Dynamic Property Inspector" window would not work correctly with variables set in screen object "Dragging" group properties.

4648

OPC Communication

When a structure variable went into use, a task or a OPC group which was linked to a one of the structure's members would not go into use. This problem would occur in client-server projects when client connected the whole structure variable with the server.

Note: this problem has also been fixed in those communication drivers which implement the new 256 base classes or later versions.

4931

Screen Objects

A scheduler window would not preserve the color set for cell selection when updated after public symbols or style source container has been managed. These color options now work properly to allow user to choose whether to preserve or not this characteristic.

4917

DOM (Document Object Model)

The "AlarmWndCmdTarget" basic interface "OPC AE Server" method would freeze the Movicon application. This problem occurred when the name of the OPC AE Server was reset with a nothing string, when previously set in a valid OPC AE Server.

4849

Screen Objects

An editable display set for displaying statistical values of variables, would send Movicon into error when variable did not exist in the project.

4954

Design

Movicon would go into error and close a project after structure variables and structure prototypes had been copied from one project to a second project while both opened in the same workspace.

4859

Design

Taking a template from the library and inserting it on screen, the two "Enable Move" and "Enable Resize" options from the "Dragging" group properties would get reset to "false".

4880

Screen Objects

The grid object would not insert columns in the grid in the order they has been set suing the wizard.

4898

Design

The condition list used for filtering alarms based on their severity in an alarm window would show the wrong descriptions: "major" should have read as "major-equal" and "minor" should have read as "minor-equal".

4953

Real Time DB

A structure variable member's statistical values would not get zeroed when the day, week, month or year changed.

4761

Tools

The runtime user editor would not handle the "TimePassword" attribute correctly. As a consequence the password expire would not get handled correctly for runtime user is enabled with one.

4660

Screen Objects

The variable set as a combo box's ListBox list variable would not get handled by the following functions:

• Dynamic Property Inspector

• "Find Symbol" command

• "Replace Symbol" command

• Public symbol updates

4662

Networking

A request for a variable trace comment did not get made in cases where the variable was linked to a network server. Now a comment request is also made in client stations and saved in the server's database.

4677

Recipes Management

A new "Always in use" option (default "true") has been added to the Recipe object. When setting this option to "false" the variables used in the recipe fields will not go into use when the recipe is initialized. As a consequence, these variables will only get counted on the license if the recipe activation command is invoked or for the time needed for transferring the recipe values to the field (by means of using the opc client or communication driver).

4749

Screen Objects

The variables used in drawing animation color thresholds, texts and bitmaps could not be replaced using the "Dynamic Property Inspector" window.

4707

WinCE OS

A file path or resource resolution would fail in Window CE. For instance, this problem would occur when opening a screen in parameterized mode when the parameter file resided in a project work folder.

4548

Design

The variable editor and string table's filter and order by operations did not support the Escape key. Now these operations can be aborted by using the "ESC" keyboard key.

4504

Design

The escape key with the string table opened in popup mode, would nevertheless associated the string selected in the control window.

380

Design

The name of the basic script, menu and accelerator screen resources only supported alphanumeric chars. As a consequence, in design mode, problem would arise with resource copy and paste operations in the "Project Explorer" window in cases where resources had been renamed externally to Movicon containing alphanumeric characters. Now it is possible to using all the characters consented by Windows in file names, such as: ! £ $ % & ( ) = ^ ' [ ] + @ # ° § ; , . - _

3213

Report Management

The "Export Report" command exported reports to the Movicon installation folder and not the project's "DLOGGERS" folder (or the one configured for the project's data loggers).

3911

Screen Objects

The scheduler window would not update names of variables set in the "Variable" column when the active language changed.

3653

Screen Objects

The buttons did not support multi-line texts when alignment type was set to "bottom" or center".

3531

Documentation

The online help incorrectly stated that an alarm could be set in more than one area using the ";" char.

3212

Report Management

Exporting a report in jpeg format with the tool "ReportViewerNET.exe" tool created an empty image.

1921

Design

When a symbol associated with an alarm got inserted on screen, all the variables, accept the one set as an alarm variable, were inserted as word types. In addition to this, if these variables had been added in the real time db with a different name and not their original one, their new name would not get set in the alarm's properties.

3223

Design

In the "View" menu, the "Symbols" option tick would become visible/invisible according to "Status Bar" status and not that of the "Symbols" toolbar's.

4068

DOM (Document Object Model)

"OnCommentAlarm" basic event of an alarm threshold would not get notified when an alarm comment was modified, for instance, when using the "LastComment" property from the "AlarmThresholdCmdTarget" interface.

4345

Design

The Tag browser" window had editable fields when editing was only consented by right clicking on the variable through a second popup window.

4489

Design

The "Ins" button from the keyboard, would not allow new string ids to be added when the table was opened in popup mode.

4605

Screen Objects

An editable display linked to a string type variable and with the "Prompt Pad" option, would open the alphanumeric Pad in without being able to insert an additional char. in respect to max. value originally set in the display's property.

4757

Alarm Management

It became impossible to find out  the number of alarms ON and OFF.  To remedy this, tow new system variable members have been added called: "NumActiveAlarmsON" e "NumActiveAlarmsOFF".

4780

Design

The "Create DB Table" command in a variable's Trace options showed an error in cases where the DB trace has been set for using the InMemoryDB.

4847

Design

The public symbols management would not preserve dynamic variables in an object list or combo box, even if the "Preserve Dynamics" property had been set.

4830

Real Time DB

The "Inverse" scaling option set directly in the variable would not get handled correctly.

4850

Screen Objects

The public symbol management would delete all the variable columns when updating a datalogger window object.

4973

Redudancy

In a redundant system when the primary reconnected to the secondary, not all the statistical information got recovered by the connecting variables with their 'Enable statistic Data" enabled.

4679

Design

Some vectorial image import commands in a screen have been fixed.

4884

Screen Objects

Data logger and recipe associations to Movicon objects which interface with databases have been improved. Beforehand, you could indistinctly associate recipes or data loggers in any object which used a database. Now, recipe type objects are filtered for those objects which work only with data loggers. The same goes for the data logger and recipe object drag and drops in screen objects.

5065

WinCE OS

The "capture and Print" command would not work in windows CE.

5177

WebClient

The Trend and Data Analysis print button partially remained visible in the Web Client, even though it could not be used.

5166

Redudancy

The comment would not get saved in a variable trace db if the variable had been modified in the secondary in a redundancy system.

5168

Screen Objects

The window type objects would not become invisible/visible according to the set access level in read.

5056

Screen Management

Selecting a screen object containing many elements would be very slow in opening with the "XML code Explorer" window open as well.

5016

Design

The cross reference list could not always find all variables used in scripts. This problem would arise when structure variables had also been used in script code.

4937

Screen Objects

The data logger window layout would not always be correct when displayed within a "Tab Group" object.

2099

WinCE OS

MaxLogEntries and MaxLogFiles values set different to those for default (100 e 10) in the MovXCE.ini file, would get ignored while creating System.log files and successive backups.

4528

Screen Objects

Square buttons would not always be correctly displayed and would show horizontal lines with colours different to the ones set in the buttons.

5050

Design

The "Replace Symbol" command would raise an "Error not specified" message.

5057

WinCE OS

The "Execute Synaspe" command would not work in Windows CE.

5054

Screen Objects

An alarm window would not preserve the color set for historical data when updated after public symbols or style source screens had been handled. Now this object has been provided with options to preserve these types of characteristics or not.

5001

Screen Objects

A Trend set for recording data on file always displayed the historical part when put in stop mode.

5169

Screen Objects

The minimum and maximum value formats in edit-box display error messages ware not correct when the variable happened to be integer type but had a format with a point in (i.e. "x.x").

5274

Design

Log files belonging to a project could not be read if containing unicode characters and the os was unicode type (i.e. Windows in Chinese).

4174

Real Time DB

The "General->FloattingPointPrecision" DWORD value has been added to the windows configuration registry (default = 0) which allows extra precision in converting numbers with floating points (float and double) in texts. The default "0" value means that standard precision equal to six figures will be used.

5087

Networking

The "Unknown Error" would appear when inserting two alarm windows both connected to a unavailable network server.

5305

Redudancy

The primary would display "Unknown error" error while synchronizing the Secondary. This problem would occur when the two projects where not the same (a condition that could have been avoided but now is managed correctly).

5289

Design

When Inserting a new variable in the "Tag Browser" window it would not show on the list if a filter had not been applied to the variables beforehand.

5342

Screen Objects

A pen's import window would open when double clicking on a button or in an area which should have not invoked this command.

5067

WinCE OS

Printing a screen capturing graphics with the "Capture and Print" command, the print window in process would also show.  This problem occurred only when using this command in Windows CE.

1582

WebClient

The "Numeric Pad" command if used by WebClient would not take into account the set Minimum and Maximum limits allowing any value to be inserted.  Now these set limits are managed in the command and are shown in the input window title which is opened by the Web client to edit values.

1911

Redudancy

In redundancy mode, modifications to recipes on the primary or secondary would only be updated in the primary project, and not in the secondary. The secondary project's database would only update following one of these conditions:

• Stopping the primary project

• Stopping the secondary project

• A datalogger recording event

5226

Report Management

Displaying a report with a chart object, the chart  would display without data.

5212

Screen Objects

The window objects predisposed for connecting to a network server, would show data that the user set for logging on to Server that should not have been revealed according to their access level mask. This would happen only if a default user had been set in the server application for clients that gained access with anonymous authentication.

5246

Setup

The setup did not warn the user that operating system did not have Microsoft ActiveSyn installed and therefore the Movicon component for Windows CE would not get installed for default.

4049

Design

The "Refactoring Explorer" window showed an error when selecting the "Redundancy" resource in the project explorer window.

4527

Design

When using in design mode a screen tab in the MDI bar would disappear, when using the open command of a screen already opened. It would only reappear when modifying the Movicon workspace size.

4550

Design

The "Find" command wouldn't work correctly is used in the project variable editor.

4822

Screen Objects

The transparency level in the public symbol management would not get copied to the destination symbol by the source symbol.

5322

Screen Objects

A Trend recording on file function would have problems if the file name, to be used for recording, was not specified.

5303

OPC Communication

The "OPCXMLDAClient.log" log file was not bound to the "Trace" DWORD value equal to "1", in the windows "General" configuration registry for the Movicon application. As a consequence a project that connected to an OPC XML DA Server would keeping creating and recording in this file occupying using up unnecessary space on disk.

5369

Setup

The product's help file would not get installed when modifying components from a previous installation which had not been needed.

5461

Screen Objects

When an external configuration file as loaded, the column positions and sizes in its layout were incorrect.

5359

Screen Objects

Contents from some work windows in a project would get updated in synchro mode with the user interface, even when not displayed. As a consequence this would slow down object selecting, above all on screen. The windows experiencing this problem were the XML code explorer, the script explorer and the IL code explorer windows.

5344

Screen Objects

Focus stayed on a grid object even to moved to another object. As a consequence, the selected cell would also move in the grid object when using keyboard arrow keys with focus on another object. This same problem also happened with grids used in the "Scheduler Window" object.

4650

Networking

Using the child project techniques for creating a client project, the variables which connected to the server would not get removed when no longer in use in the client.

4014

Design

Software licenses could not us used with the Windows VISTA operating system.

5412

Screen Objects

The item in a drop-down list became selectable with the mouse even when drop-down list was not visible. This problem would show in the "Combo Box" and "Scheduler window" objects when set to display the combo box for selecting schedulers only.  This problem starting happening with the build 1017.

5437

Screen Objects

Closing a screen opened in modal mode would raise an error in the Movicon application if being run on a Tablet-PC with Windows VISTA.

5447

Screen Management

The INSERT or UPDATE command of a grid object failed if the table's name contained a space.

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 subsequent generated message would be misleading stating that file could not be found when actually this was not the case.

4391

WebClient

Publishing a data logger as a data web page with the appropriate command, problems would arise using the selection controls to filter data when not using a Internet Explorer. Data could be selected but the last piece of data would not get displayed in the control.
