It is two controls with an identical border on the picture above. The button display the border correctly, while the ComboBox do not display the border at all. It does have a BorderBrush that I set, but it has no effect. This is quite common with build in native controls – it might be a…
And this is the result of the code generator. In C++ and C# you can use inheritance – simply use a base class for symbols, autogenerate a HMIButton_base and then create the final HMIButton manually – this is a nice way to allow autogenerated code while you still have the full manual control. C# have…
This example is the property list for Button. This is just an early draft, but as I added more properties to Button yesteday I realized that this would take some time with the number of components involved as every property require a bi of coding. So using a CSV file allow me to use Excel…
I am sitting setting up all the properties for the components and it is a bit of work for each component, so what I want to do is one of my usual tricks to code using Excel. Simply by creating a CSV list, read it into a C# app and generate all the property settings…
Now as I know why I have a performance issue and know the solution it is also possible to make a compromize. I need to address performance, but I can live with what I have for a while. The issue is that it is easier to experiment with functionality using XAML, so I can make…
This picture is the old one that had performance problems. The new one is not so impressive yet, but it’s performance is far better. I ended up doing the exact same from code as I did from XAML finding out that it was far faster and allowed me to do some smarter code. At the…
This block diagram only illustrate a few of the modules in the Abstraction Layer – loads of more will be added as needed. I started this library years ago so it has existed in various versions, but are re-designing it to be cleaner now. This is a C++ library designed to make coding of user…
If you have ever written a driver or picked up someone elses code you will recognize the need for documentation and examples on how to use it. I am writing loads of drivers these days and stugle with Vendor datasheets as well as HAL’s – usually I end up hacking and trying to understanding how…
I typically code ESP32, ESP8285, a lot of STM32, Pico, Linux and Windows to mention a few, so I want to be able to move code between those platforms with a minimum of hazle. For this purpose I create a C++ API that I call “Abstraction Layer”. I did not want to use the word…
