Hi Terry,

I have just opened the ConfigScreen and it seems to be displaying OK for me.
I have tested it on both Win 7 and Win XP, and both display correctly.
See screen capture below.

Windows XP

Can you confirm which OS you are running "Grabber" on and also provide a screen
capture so I can see what the problem is.

Thanks

Mark

Hi Lluís,

I can't see any problem with translating the webpages,
as long as you don't change filenames you should be fine :)

Hi Terry, my Config screen shows the same as Mark's. I can see that yours is cut of at the bottom so presumably you are not able to tick the other option nor save the settings, and unfortunately I can't help on how to correct that.

Hi Terry,

Thanks for posting the screen capture. I am currently looking into this problem,
to see if I can get it to display correctly for you.

It looks like you have a lower screen resolution of have enlarged the text size.
But I would have thought that the form would realise this and resize accordingly.

As soon as I have a fix I will post up a new version for you.

btw.
Did you have this problem on the earlier versions or is it just on
the new 1.5.0 version?

Mark

Hi Terry,

I think I have managed to replecate the problem. I changed the size of
the text within windows via the control panel to Medium 125%
and it now displays as yours does.

I may be able to fix it via the Control.Dock Property, so will have to
have a play around with my code and see if I can get it sorted for you.

Terry,

One quick work around just to get it up and running would be
that if you set your text size back to 100%, then ran Grabber
and set your settings in the ConfigScreen (as this should display
it fully), save them and then reset your text size back to 125%.
This would then allow you to run Grabber until I fix this problem.

OK,

I have just had a look (now I am home from work), and have found that
the reason why it would not re-size correctly was that I had removed the
ControlBox (that displays the Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons), from
the Form. Which affects the re-sizing of the form if the user has increased
the Windows text size, via Control Panel.

I've just put the ControlBox back onto the Form and tested it and all looks
like it is displaying correctly now :)

I have now created a new release version 1.5.1 which you can download below.

New Release version 1.5.1
CRTDGv151.zip

Version 1.5.1 - (17-09-13)

ConfigScreen now displays correctly if Windows Text Size has been altered
from standard 100%, (form ControlBox now set to "TRUE", to avoid form cropping off part
of the controls being displayed upon it).



Terry, Please let me know if it now displays correctly for you.

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark!!
Greetings from Finland!!
After other hobbies in summer, now I will have some time to my "Winterhobby" like Cumulus and its applications as this CRTDG. So, I installed this newest version of CRTDG and after few minutes it had worked, the "old" error occured to my pc.... What a shame... I installed that version 1.44 again which worked in the past spring , and it works o.k. except that the wind compass does not view compass points.. Could You help me in this?
No hurry at all. It is my fault, that I haven`t tried this grapper a while... It is because I have changed Cumulus and all related applications of it to another pc. It should be nice, if I could have this app to work again... The error text attched. Hope If You have the time and bother to look it sometime.
With all best regards: kapo

Thanks again for posting the error file, as it makes finding the errors much easier for me.

I think I found the problem, it was that I had quotes " " wrapped around the value of 0.1
in the RainPrediction procedure.

i.e.
"0.1" which meant that the program thought it was a 'String' and not a numeric value.

I have quickly gone through the rest of my code and tweaked any other bits of code that were incorrect,
so hopefully it should work now ;) Well until we come across another error LOL.

We will get there in the end I am sure :)

Thanks for your patience while I try to debug and get it running for you. I know there is nothing
worse than having something that only works 90%.

Hopefully the test version below will be the one that finally works LOL.
Can you please let me know if you have any problems with it, or if it is OK now.
ver. 1.4.3e_testing.zip
All the best

Mark
