Iocomp patches Instrumentation Pack

April 12, 2010
Patch Release

The Iocomp .NET WinForms Instrumentation Pack is a collection of 28 basic instrumentation components (plus 27 additional controls in the Pro Pack) for the .NET environment. It includes 17 input-type controls: Led, LedBar, LedSpiral, GaugeLinear, GaugeAngular, DisplayDouble, DisplayInteger, DisplayString, Label, Odometer, Thermometer and the family of SevenSegment Controls. It also includes 11 input/output-type controls: ModeComboBox, SwitchLed, SwitchSlider, SwitchRotary, SwitchToggle, SwitchPanel, Slider, Knob and the family of Edit Controls.

The following editions are available:

Updates in V4.0 SP1

  • Modified property editor value Edit boxes to squash all exceptions due to invalid inputs. After the exception is squashed, the Edit box will return to the previous valid value.
  • Added horizontal scrolling to all Iocomp property editor listbox controls. The horizontal scrollbar only appears when the width of an item exceeds the width of the display area.
  • Added logic to the design-time property editor to auto-increment the OPCGroup object's Name property when a new one is added.
  • Changed the default value for the OPCItem's Name property to be "Item???". This is to help remind the developer to set the value.
  • Upgraded the MatrixButton control to support buttons with a momentary style. The MatrixButtonStyle enumeration has a new value called MomentaryButton. Use the Style property on the MatrixButton class to specify its type. The MatrixButton class also has a new property called Value, which is of type ValueBoolean. When the button's Style is set to MomentaryButton, and the mouse left button is depressed over the MatrixButton, the MatrixButton Value property will changed to True. When the mouse is released, the Value property will return to False. When connecting an OPC-Link to the MatrixButton, be sure to specify the Value.AsBoolean sub-property (Example, the OPC-Link PropertyName setting would be "Buttons(1).Value.AsBoolean". The "Buttons(1)" portion specifies the second button in the Button collection (Zero Based Index), and use "Value.AsBoolean" as the property on the button class).
