Announcement: LabWindows™/CVI™ 2013 f1 Patch Release

[DocRabbit]

Hi, all,

I have to confirm this behaviour (new added controls doesn't appear during following debug (release) session) after upgrade to f1Patch.

As overcome I must use "Save in text format ..." / "Load from text format ..." menu commands.

Also adding the control callback (in uir editor) isn't respected until the "Save/Load" .tui . Not good...

I confirm the "new control bug". bad behavior is symmetrical: if you remove a control, it will not disappear.

Luckily there is a more direct workaround than saving panel to text and reimporting it: after adding new controls, do not run but perform a full Rebuild of executable and the control will appear as usual.

Evidently there is some information about forms cached somewhere that is not rebuild when the form is edited.

Very annoying.

bad news

I had some problems with CVI 2013, but I don't know if I test f1 patch..

probably It's better to wait for f2 patch...

May be they will call the next patch SP1... This would solve one issue more I don't see a reason not to have SP1, SP2, ... instead of patch f1... fn because this patch fixed several issues, not just one. Or what is the criterion for a SP?

Hi All,

I have not been able to reproduce this UIR behavior.  To better track down what might be happening here, please provide the following information:

• How are your Environment options configured?
• What have you set for Save changes before compiling and Save changes before debugging?
• What Build Process Options have you set?
• Can you take a screenshot before and after you debug your program, displaying this behavior?

If anyone who is seeing this bug can provide a video of the behavior, please post it here.  It would be very helpful for us to see this behavior in action as we are unable to reproduce it.  

If you have a project which reliably reproduces this issue, please post it with a precise set of steps to reproduce it.

We appreciate your help and feedback!

Warm Regards,

Here it is.. the attached project is an ultra-stripped-down version of one of my projects that exhibits the bug.

I have some other projects that does not have the problem.

I have no time to further investigate.

The answers to the questions asked should be in the attached files.

Steps to replicate the bug

1) compile the project, run it, it does absolutely nothing beside to show a panel with a menu.

2) terminate execution

3) create a command button

4) press the green arrow or Shift+F5.

5) the command button does not appear

6) terminate execution

7) do a full rebuild

😎 whoa! command button is there.

optional steps

9) terminate execution

10) delete the command button

11) press the green arrow or Shift+F5.

12) command button is still there.

Hi Carlo,

I appreciate the thorough instructions.  I  was able to reproduce this issue, and we are now tracking it with bug ID: 433769.  

There are two work arounds:

• Use Build»Rebuild when making updates to your UIR file.
• Disable Build»Target Settings»Embed project .UIRs.  This setting is configuration-specific, which means you can disable Embed project .UIRs for your Debug configuration, but enable it for Release.  

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, and we are working to fix this in our next release.

Warm Regards,

Hi Roberto,

I am certainly the bug. please defer the updating.

David,

are you using Embed project UIR option? If so, could you make a test excluding it? Since I am never using that option I suppose I won't be subject to that anomaly.

Thanks.

[carlox]

Roberto, I can confirm that my sample project above uses Embed project UIR option.

All works as intended excluing it, so you shouldn't be affected by this bug.
