Product: CODESYS Visualization 4.4.0.0

Key Issue Type Summary Resolution Release Note
VIS-3182 Improvement

Visu, Webvisu: Support Internet Explorer

Won't Fix [[GENERAL]]
Microsoft officially ended the support for Internet Explorer in 2022 (e.g. see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/announcements/internet-explorer-11-end-of-support).
This also prevents testing the functionality of the CODESYS WebVisu in the Internet Explorer browser.
Therefore this issue will not be fixed and support of the CODESYS WebVisu within Internet Explorer can no longer be guaranteed.
The CODESYS WebVisu will be e.g. working in Firefox, Chrome or Microsoft Edge. For a detailed list of browsers please have a look at the datasheet of the CODESYS WebVisualization.

Usability: Incompatibility leads to unclear error messages

Won't Fix [[GENERAL]]
Libraries must be created with the minimum version of CODESYS with which they are then to be used in a project. This refers to CODESYS and all used addons.
VIS-2845 Bug

Visu, Targetvisu, Touchinput, XYChart: deactivated settings seem not to be evaluated correctly, pan and zoom can still be executed

Fixed [[GENERAL]]
Using multi-touch, the concept of "panning" is "incorporated" into that of "zooming".
Using two fingers, both panning and zooming can be performed simultaneously.
So when we talk about "variable" we mean the zoom one.

[[GENERAL]]
The rectangle that is drawn with the mouse (or touch) to determine the zoom size must have a minimum size of 5 pixels to be valid.

[[COMPATIBILITY_INFORMATION]]
Projects using "Target Visu", "Web Visu" with multi-touch, and the zoom enable variable may have to be adapted to the new mode.
This is due to the fact that now in "Web Visu" with multi-touch, the zoom is enabled by the variable.

Some images are not displayed

Fixed [[GENERAL]]
Note: This "problem" only relates to some Toolbox visu images that were meant for internal use only. These images are not downloaded by the visu.

These images will no longer be suggested by intellisense or the input assistant anymore.

Fixed
VIS-2763 Bug

Visu: Text input Ignores overlay and dialogs that are displayed on top of it

Won't Fix [[GENERAL]]
This issue will not be fixed as the described behavior is as designed. Clicking beyond the dialog is possible in the project because the dialog is opened in a non modal manner. If this is not the intention of the customer, then the dialog must be opened in a modal way.
The idea of having a write variable configuration is to enter a value and therefore the according input box is displayed on top and thus even on top of the non modal dialog.

Visu, Usermanagement: locked users are not automatically released again after the time lock.

Fixed [[COMPATIBILITY_INFORMATION]]
"User lockout" behaviour is adjusted because it was unintuitive to the user.
*New*
- Permanent timeout: Users with "Permission to Change User Data" have a fixed lockout time of 10 minutes (info added to the GUI).
- Temporary lockout time: Applies to all users.

*Old*
Users with "Permission to Change User Data" had a fixed lockout time of 10 minutes regardless if the permanent or temporary lockout options were configured.

Duplicate [[GENERAL]]
This issue duplicates VIS-2530
VIS-2606 Bug

Visu, Overlay: A rotated image (.svg) is not displayed correctly

Fixed [[GENERAL]]
At the moment, rotated background elements that don’t use orthogonal angles might be drawn inexactly rotated by +/- 1 degree. If this should cause a problem, the background behavior of the element can be disabled by assigning a transient configuration value like “State variables -> Invisible := FALSE” in the properties and therefore getting the exactly rotated view of the element.
VIS-2601 Bug

Visu, Filetransfer: Deactivated dialog box should display a warning in legacy mode

Fixed
VIS-2585 Bug

The touch input under the webvisu sometimes stops working with active overlay setting

Fixed
VIS-2584 Bug

Dialogs above the XYChart cannot be operated with touch inputs if 'Open dialog modal' is not set

Fixed [[GENERAL]]
The bug is fixed with VIS-2584 for the webvisu. To fix the bug for the targetvisu the runtime issue CDS-85792 must be implemented.
VIS-2581 Bug

Visu, XY Chart, multi client: Changes bleed into other ClientID

Fixed [[GENERAL]]
This new functionality is conditioned by a compilation define: GENERATE_XYCHART_MULTICLIENT

This feature works when the element XYChart is in a 'frame' and the frame is passed data from an array using 'CURRENTCLIENTID' as an index.

[[KNOWN_LIMITATIONS]]
As this is a very special requirement, not all functionalities have been validated but only the "main" ones.
These features were not checked:
- overlapping of curves
- curve programming.
- zooming/panning
- some display features like "zero line" and "levels line".
VIS-2580 Bug

Visu, Input Configuration: window partitioning does not remain on next use

Duplicate [[GENERAL]]
Duplicates VIS-2414.
VIS-2561 Bug

Visu: Text property is no longer shown for vertical Iine element

Won't Fix [[GENERAL]]
Won't Fix, the expected behaviour is that the element should not draw beyond its bounds which are limited by its width and height. The background for this is that otherwise the evaluation of overlapping and moved elements is very hard to implement. With CDS-64468 in SP16 this was adjusted to have a uniform behaviour in all clients.

Furthermore if drawing text on a vertical line is desired as workaround an additonal Label or Rectangle element with a text can be used.
VIS-2556 Bug

Visu, overlay, performance: grouped elements are redrawn in each cycle

Fixed [[GENERAL]]
This item also fixed the bug that the deactivated state of the child elements was not updated in a group in overlay mode.
VIS-2553 Bug

VIS-2535 Improvement

Visu, Keypad: Allow Switching input type during RunTime

Fixed [[GENERAL]]
This feature is only supported for input type "Default" within "Write a variable"

The following code can be used in an input action f.e. OnMouseDown "Execute ST-Code"

VU.Clients.Current.InputType := VU.VisuInputType.Keyboard;
or
VU.Clients.Current.InputType := VU.VisuInputType.Touchscreen;

to switch the input type during runtime.

VIS-2495 Improvement

Visu: Implement app based licensing with software metrics which are checked during download

Duplicate
VIS-2486 Improvement

Visu, Text Alignment: Margin should be configurable for both sides

Fixed [[COMPATIBILITY_INFORMATION]]
The text margin is now considered on all sides when auto line break is configured.
E.g. Text-Margin-Horizontal = 5 --> the minimum margin left and right is always 5
Without autoline break only the side of the alignment is considered.
VIS-2481 Bug

Visu, Refactoring: Histogram variable not refactored

Fixed [[GENERAL]]
To use the fix do the following:
- a change in the visualization with the histogram has to be done. E.g. move the element by one.
- then "Generate code".
VIS-2479 Bug

Visu, Trend: Clearing SQL data of a trend can lead to artifacts still being displayed

Fixed
VIS-2477 Bug

Visu, Alarmtable: Text alignment in AlarmTable always centered

Fixed [[GENERAL]]
When inserting a new alarm table the problem will not occur anymore. For existing alarm tables the column can be reconfigured once as workaround.

Visu, Html5 Controls: Cannot download HTML5DemoImage element because of wrong hash value

Fixed
VIS-2423 Bug

Visu: opening the visualisation in a separate window in the editor leads to an exception when going online

Cannot Reproduce [[GENERAL]]
This issue could not be reproduced with Visu 4.3 nor 4.4.
Apparently the exception is thrown from the integrated CEF browser, that isn't in use anymore since Visu 4.3. With the integrated WebView2 browser such a problem couldn't be seen.
VIS-2414 Improvement

remember (re-)size of Visu "input configuration" window

Fixed [[GENERAL]]
The input configuration dialog remembers its position and size after closing.
VIS-2411 Bug

Visu, HTML5 Controls: CSS files not working due to CSP

Fixed [[GENERAL]]
The Chrome browser allows using inline and dynamically created styles, like in the attached HTML5 elements.
In Firefox however, dynamically created style elements cannot be used due to its CSP. The only possibility is to use inline styles in this case.
VIS-2406 Bug

Visu: DropDownMenu is displayed as textfield

Won't Fix [[GENERAL]]
As the visualization style is selected in the Visualization Manager, there is no obvious way for deriving the effective visualization style when a visualization is located in the POUs section.
By default, CODESYS tries to find out the style by evaluating the visualization manager(s) in a project. In the given project there are several visualization managers using different styles and so no unambiguous derivation of a style is possible. In such a project, the style for POU visualizations can be configured in the Options: Tools -> Options -> Visualization styles

Visu, Overlay, Webbrowser: Multiple webbrowser elements/PDF not usable

Fixed [[GENERAL]]
Not a problem with multiple Webbrowser elements, but URLs using placeholders like e.g. '$$PlcLogic$$//Application//help.pdf' are not supported. Actual issue was caused by an incorrect handling of the current language by CODESYS in the overlay visualization.

Fixed
VIS-2250 Improvement

Update WibuCmNet to latest version 7.51

Cannot Reproduce [[GENERAL]]
This issue cannot be reproduced as there is no direct reference in source code to the mentioned components.
Indirect references (CodeMeter -> WibuCmNet) are hard to fix as these are based on the used SDK and the current distribution scheme of GAC components does not allow dedicated updates of parts.

Alarm Exception when alarm condition is a string compare

Fixed [[GENERAL]]
STRING and WSTRING variables cannot be used as triggers for an alarm. An error will be generated during compilation.
[[COMPATIBILITY_INFORMATION]]
Since this error caused the application to be impossible to use, it is very likely that no client has ever used STRING variables, so there should be no compatibility problems

VIS-2208 Improvement

Visu: when copying Elements use already named by user names and add a counter

Fixed [[GENERAL]]
