tui (uir in text format) does not load

[rkrijger]

I am having problems with my uir.

I use tabs and CVI 8.0. Sometimes when, in my running program, switch tab windows, the windows content is not refreshed, altough I do click another tab.

I tried to export the uir file in text format (tui) to solve this problem (maybe the uir is corrupt), but now this tui file does not load: i open a new uir file, i select "Load from text format" and an empty window is the result.

I attach the tui file, is there something wrong with it?

Basically I would like the tab bug to be fixed. 😉

The attached .tui file is bad. I had a look, and there was a bug in CVI 8.0 saving .uir files to .tui if they contained a tab control; this bug was fixed in CVI 8.0.1 (a free maintenance release to 8.0). I would definitely recommend upgrading to 8.0.1 to get this and other fixes.

I went ahead and fixed the .tui by hand and reattached it; I don't know if 8.0 will be able to load it (although I assume it will) but I did test that it loads correctly in 8.0.1. I don't know of any tab bug that would cause the drawing problem you saw, but it's possible that it is fixed in 8.0.1. If you still see it after upgrading, definitely post back with more details on what you are seeing, what circumstances are reqeuired (if any), etc.

Thanks,

Hi Alex,

Thank you for the good work. I have to check if I can use the 8.01 update. Maybe there will be a conflict with other apps that run the 8.0 RTE on the same PC.

What exactly did you change to solve it? Just curious.

To see the changes, you can save the .tui  files as .txt files and then open them in CVI, so you see the text, not the UI itself. Then use Edit>>Diff on the menu to compare the two versions.
