Well, I've seen this before. It is not a .NET issue, it is a VEE issue.
Seems VEE runs the development with ref to a different path than the
runtime. I know, I know, what does this have to do with anything. I don't
know ask VEE, but what I did, I made sure all my directories were seen by
the runtime. Since I had a user installable runtime, I simply packed
everything into a single folder, reachable from the install folder.
Including all bitmaps, since I ref'ed the bitmap at the properties menu.
Unfortunately .NET was a different issue, what I did was make sure the .NET
framework was installed, if I could not find it when loading or executing, I
used a Draconian method, I installed it. How about that for fishing with a
shotgun?

Subject: [vrf] Migration to VEE 7.01 (3 problems)
I currently have three problems with my VEE 7.01 test bed.
This is a machine that was started from scratch and had only VEE 7.0
(upgraded to 7.01) installed.
VEE 5 and 6 were never present on this machine.
The .NET SDK 1.1 was installed so that the help files would be present.
My files were created previous to VEE 7.01.
All were last saved in VEE 6.02.
I have my test files in a folder at C:Test.
My specs are at C:Specs (and subfolders below).
A desktop shortcut pointing at the appropriate VEE file then uses the start
in feature to use the correct specs subfolder.
Problem 1 (related to the picture bitmap.jpg attached).
The first problem is more of an FYI, but I'm still interested in what is
happening...
I have embedded picture paths in User Functions.
Only the program copies that need to use these UFs get the pictures copied.
6.02 only complains if one tries to run the UF that needs the pictures.
VEE 7.01 complains upon load.
I have two fixes for this one it seems.
I can add the clutter of copying these everywhere, even though they aren't
used.
Or if I overwrite the VEE 6.02 file with a 7.01 save (no other changes),
this caution goes away.
Problem 2 (related to the picture psapi.h.jpg attached).
When I open my .VEE file saved in 7.01 format (I didn't try it in the older
format) and run I get an error.
VEE errors with a cannot find psapi.h in my c:specsFinalTest2 directory.
(It does this with other sub spec directories, too.) A search of the machine
turns this file up under the path "C:Program
FilesMicrosoft.NETSDKv1.1SamplesTechnologiesInteropApplicationsMPVie
wModuleCol".
So this is obviously a .NET SDK file.
I have no notion of what VEE want it for.
I have not added any .NET capabilities into these files yet.
I thought this might be a permissions item, so I gave my testers full access
from "C:Program FilesMicrosoft.NET" propagated all the way down.
This didn't help.
Copying the file to the directory does fix the problem, but I don't know why
VEE wants it.
(I'm not keen on copying every file VEE errors on into my directories.)
Anyone know how to fix this error?
Problem 3 (related to the picture loop.jpg attached).
This problem is related to development only.
Runtime seem to ignore it.
When I open my file in development and run it, every time it comes to a
loop, I get the caution attached.
It indicates that the loop.icn file was not found at "c:program
fileshewlett-packardvee 5.0 itmapsloop.icn".
This must be embedded in the .VEE file somewhere, since no earlier version
has ever been on this computer.
Renaming the .VEE file to a .TXT allows me to search for loop.icn.
While I see this many times, I don't ever see that path explicitly defined.
Anyone know what and where I need to change a path to get this error to go
away?

If you wan't to change the grid resolution for panel displays, the following
extract from the help file should help.
>From the Main Window's object menu, select Properties.
2. Select the Panel tab.
3. Set the Grid Size. The smallest grid size is 1.
4. Click OK.
When you change grid size, existing objects on the panel do not
automatically align to the grid. When you click on an object, its
upper-left corner aligns to the nearest grid detent. When you click on the
corner resize area, the object resizes to the nearest grid detent. Any Move
or Size aligns the object to the current grid size.
Note
Each panel has its own grid. To change the grid size on a UserObject or
UserFunction grid, select Properties from its object menu and then follow
the rest of the steps listed above.

Subject: [vrf] Object Resizing Limitations
Hi All -
sorry for this trivial question but frustration is growing and maybe
there
is a way to do this..
Is there a way to resize objects without having predefined resize steps?
E.g. when I try to resize a check box by clicking on one of the corners
and dragging it, the item "snaps" to certain sizes.
I cannot give it the exact size that I want it to be.. very frustrating
indeed!
For some objects I can specify the size dirctly through the properties
but seemingly
I cant do this with all objects, e.g. check box does not have a size
entry .. why not?
It would be nice to disable the snap feature and allow resizing by
mouse..
maybe pressing shift while resizing by mouse could disable the snap
feature
temporarily?
Anyway if someone knows a way to set the size of a check box manually
please let me know..
Many thanks,
Sascha
