Hi Venkatesan,
I understand your request, I will do my best to squeeze this in as soon as possible.

Hi Steve,
I apologize for the delay in approving your post to appear in the forum. Unfortunately, the changes that Embarcadero made to the TRzCheckBox and TRzRadioButton components to better support High DPI also broke the functionality of custom glyphs. I am trying to get this issue fixed. I will keep you posted.

Hi,
I have modified the CodeSite Tools installer to no longer use WMI and have uploaded the new CS5_Tools installer to the Raize Software website. You can download the new version here: https://raize.com/wp-content/uploads/CS5_Tools.zipTo be clear, the version of the tools is still 5.4.2, it is just the installer that has been updated.

Hi,
Thank you for the additional information. I have researched this issue some more, and I have discovered that the InnoSetup script that is used for CodeSite Tools installer does make use of the SWbemLocator to determine if any of the CodeSite Tools applications are currently running. The approach appears to be a pretty common practice with InnoSetups scripts. What is surprising is that WMI is not available on some of your customer’s computers. This particular module is the CodeSite Tools setup has been present for quite some time, and we’ve never received any reports such as this.
I’m looking into alternative methods to using the SWbemLocator and if that is not possible, coming up with a way to gracefully handle the situation that SWbemLocator is not found and still continue with the installer.

Hi,
We are not aware of any issues with the CodeSite Tools installer. However, in 5.3.3 the CodeSite Tools installer was changed to InnoSetup. The old installer was built with Wise Installation System.
Is the CS5_Tools.exe installer being run separately? Or, it is being launched from within your own product installer? Are you specifying any parameters to the CS5_Tools.exe program?
What type of machines are you running the installer on? From the message, it appears that InnoSetup may require WMI.
Does this error happen all the time? Or, just a certain machines?

Hi Ulrich,
To be honest, I had hoped that CodeSite 6 would be released by now. I had demonstrated many of the new features of CodeSite 6 at EKON and ITDevCon last fall. Unfortunately, like many of you, CodeSite’s tools were impacted by limitations in the KSVC. I hope to have more to say about this soon. I do apologize for being so vague.

Hi Csaba,
I already answered same question via email. I’m including response below in case others are interested.

One option is to use the CSFileExporter.exe tool that is included with CodeSite (including the Express edition). It is located in the CS5\Bin directory (typically, C:\Program Files (x86)\Raize\CS5\Bin). It is a command line tool that allows you to export messages from a CodeSite log file into a different format (i.e. XML, TXT, CSV).The one downside to using the CSFileExporter is that you have to manually run it to export the data. One of the requests that we have been getting a lot recently is to provide a means by which CodeSite log data could be ingested into an aggregate system such as Splunk. As a result, in CodeSite 6, we are introducing a new destination type called a Digest that contains CodeSite messages in plain text, formatted for easy ingestion in to Splunk and other aggregate logging systems. Unfortunately, CodeSite 6 has not yet been released.
Another option is to utilize the OnSendMsg event available in CodeSite Studio to write out to a text file for each CodeSite message. The message data is included in the event handler. The downside to this is that you have to have CodeSite Studio and you have to write out the log file manually.
Of course, the Digest option in CodeSite 6 will be the best solution once it is released.

For those following this thread. Jeremy did send me a sample project and I am able to duplicate the issue. I am working on a fix.

Hi Jeremy,
Unfortunately, I’ve been unable to duplicate the problem. Would you be able to send the source code to a sample project (no exes) to support@raize.com that demonstrates the issue?
RayHi,
I’m not sure I completely understand your question. Let me try to rephrase what I think you are asking. Consider a TRzPanel component on a form and inside that panel are other controls such as a TRzButton or TRzEdit. Then when you set the Enabled property of the TRzPanel to False, the Enabled property of the button and edit are also changed to False. And you are asking if that behavior can be disabled? Is that correct?This behavior is by design and cannot be changed without modifying the source code of the component. The reason the TRzPanel operates in this manner is because if you set up the form in the same way but use a TPanel instead of a TRzPanel, when you disable the panel, the button and edit inside the panel do not allow any user interaction, but the controls still appears as though they do allow interaction.
Also note that the TRzPanel also keeps track if any its controls are already disabled when the panel is disabled. And then when the panel is re-enabled, those originally disabled controls remain disabled.

Unfortunately, Embarcadero has been working through some technical issues with some of their servers (including GetIt). Hopefully, things will be working better soon.

Hi Steve,
The TRzRichEdit does not provide any direct support for links. The TRzRichEdit inherits much of its functionality from TRichEdit but provides Custom Framing support to match other controls. However, since TRzRichEdit is a direct descendant of TRichEdit, techniques for adding links to TRichEdit should also work for TRzRichEdit. Here is a stack overflow topic that talks about ways to do that:

RayHi Leonardo,
The TRzBitBtn is a windowed control and by design captures the input focus. If you do not want to capture the focus, you can use a TRzToolButton instead, which is a graphic control and does not capture the input focus. That’s why it works well for toolbars. You can change the ShowCaption property to True and then make it work like a TRzBitBtn (except it doesn’t change the focus).

Hi,
The CodeSitePlugIns.dcp file is located in the …Raize\CS5\Lib\RX10.2\Win32 directory. You may need to edit the BuildPlugIn.cmd file and update the CodeSiteInstallDir variable with the path to where you installed CodeSite Studio on your system.
Ah, are you using CodeSite Express? The CodeSitePlugIns.dcp file is only available in the Studio Edition.
