For info, I checked v8 and it seems to work fine. I assume this bug was fixed a while ago in v7 or v8.

Flowcode supports only 26 connection points per macro. If you require more, then I guess your macro is very long and complicated, and you should perhaps rewrite it and/or split it into smaller macros. There are many debates about good programming practice, and some programmers recommend functions sh...

Thanks, Abhi - that information is really useful. I have a few other quick questions if you don't mind... Are you still getting the shutdown problem? Does it happen all the time or only occasionally? Is there something specific you can do in Flowcode to make the shutdown problem happen? Regards, Ste...

This shutdown problem has been extremely frustrating for us. We have seen it ourselves just a few times over the same week about 6 months ago - it seemed to have no pattern, could not be replicated and therefore is almost impossible to fix. Our suspicion is that an update to some other product (e.g....

For info, I have changed it so that the autosave happens at the set period, and if it's simulating at the time then it will autosave as soon as simulation is stopped.

Hi Martin, Thanks for looking into this. I've just tested it here and it seems to work fine for me with the latest (v8.2.1) release. However, I think I can see what the issue is. The .fcbx file contains the backup, but this is only updated if Flowcode is not currently simulating at the time the auto...

Thanks for posting a solution. A quicker way of fixing this for those happy to manually edit the Windows registry is open the registry editor and navigate to this location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV8\WindowPlacement In there, there should be an entry for MainWindow which consist...

Prego! Thanks for letting us know.

Hi Ferla, I think we've fixed it. Download the following zip, and extract its contents to the "languages" subfolder inside your Flowcode v8 install folder (usually found in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode v8\languages"), overwriting the existing FlowITIT.dll file inside that fol...

We're looking into it. If it's fairly easy to add, we should be able to get it in to our next release.

You're not being stupid! There is something a bit strange going on with the way it tries to convert variables it doesn't know about. Also, the workaround I suggested does not fix it, but does allow Flowcode to try to convert what it can (i.e. known variables and C constructs). Have a look at this pr...

The C-code conversion does not understand the dot notation (things like T1CONbits.TON) which is why it is failing. If you first replace the "." with "_" in those 3 lines of C code, then it should partially convert. You will be left with C code statements like "T1CONbits_ON =...

No need to uninstall - just run the 8.2 patch.

Great idea - thanks! I think having the browser window in the panel itself might be difficult, but we should be able to create a dockable browser window that is controllable via Flowcode.

We'll add this to our list of new features.

Hi Chris,

I did PM you about this when you originally posted, but I didn't get a response.

Regards,
Steve.

In your code, you are using constants to determine the position of the numbers within your data and I don't think these are set to the correct values. For example, you have the following: Weight_Str1 = Mid$ (Buffer1,Data_Start_Point,Data_Start_Length) Weight_Str2 = Mid$ (Buffer1,Data_End_Point,Data_...

Thanks, Jorgen. Glad we managed to fix it for you.

Thanks, Jorgen. This file should solve your problem: https://matrixts-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/steve_tandy_matrixtsl_com/EcXTMH3ZT_FAsFv7LrihzPAB9BbJmsGBtchfGTyhpkeH2Q?e=2tfRTo You will need to rename the extension to .exe, and then replace the existing FlowcodeV8.exe file on your PC (you ma...

Hi Jorgen, There are a few bits of information I need from you to proceed, which you can find by using a tool such as Realtech VR's OpenGL Extensions Viewer: http://realtech-vr.com/admin/glview Specifically, I need to know the version of OpenGL used on the problem PC and information about its capabi...

Hi Jorgen, That's strange - the problem we identified here only affects the OpenGL Software mode. Perhaps the Hardware more on your PC is not available or there is another problem preventing this. This will not be simple for us to solve, so you should either use your other PC or install the earlier ...

Hi Jorgen,

That's strange. We managed to replicate the problem with your program on a few PCs here.

Did you restart Flowcode and/or your PC? Also, when you restarted Flowcode, has the setting in Global Options permanently changed to the hardware mode?

Regards,
Steve.

Hi Jorgen, Thanks for the file. We've discovered the issue and there is a quick workaround - set the Graphics Engine to "OpenGL hardware" (this is in the "Application" tab of "Global Options"). We'll hopefully find a fix for the software mode over the next week or so, b...

Hi Jorgen,

Please attach (or PM) your Flowcode program so I can help solve your problem.

Regards,
Steve.

If Ben's topic doesn't help, then please PM me with the programs and I will have a look. There have been some changes behind the scenes with the 2D panel and your projects will help me determine what is going on.

Regards,
Steve.

Hi Jan, If you just want to display the divided number rather than do any maths on it, then you could do something like this: 1) convert the integer to a string: value_as_string = ToString$(my_int_value) 2) display the first part of the string: Left$(value_as_string, Length$(value_as_string)-1) 3) d...
