IPControl

[TechSupport]

John,

I also did some simple tests and it does seem like it is only the IP Control that is causing the problem (I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it is only the IP Control).

I have the fix made for the FFengine.exe. I can't upload it until I get access my to other computer later today.

(Thanks for testing those controls for me - I appreciate it)

David,

The TabControl icon issue is related to incorrect code generation of the icon names in the resource file. This seems to occur if you have multiple Tab Controls in your project with the same name. Try naming your second TabControl to a different name and then re-compile. I will fix this problem later on and post the fix.

Thanks.

You are the man.

Happy to help in whatever way I can, Paul. Heaven knows how much help I've gotten from your efforts!

I if understand your latest posts correctly, you're saying that the IP control messes up the fonts when there's a Tab control in the project. However, my project does not contain any Tab controls, yet the IP control messes up the fonts.

Anything you want me to investigate?

David,

Looks like you are forgetting to specify the %IPM_SETADDRESS message:

Here is what is in your code....

Code Select Expand


SendMessage HWND_CONFIGURELOGIN_IPCONTROL1,0,0,MakeIPFromString(N_Ctrl_1)


Here is what it should be....

Code Select Expand


SendMessage HWND_CONFIGURELOGIN_IPCONTROL1,%IPM_SETADDRESS,0,MakeIPFromString(N_Ctrl_1)

Hi John,

These are actually two separate issues. The font issue is with the IP Control. The "Error creating RES file" issue is related to having multiple tab controls in your project that (1) Use icons in the Tabs and, (2) Have the same "Name" property (e.g. TabControl1).

The new FFengine.exe is now ready. It should fix the Tab Control icon issue and the IP Control font issue.

Please let me know if you run into any trouble.

The IP font problem is definitely gone!

Thanks, Paul!

My Best.
