A couple of issues
« on: January 30, 2018, 12:21:27 AM »
There are a couple of issues that need to be mentioned about DMD2.

1. Not so critical issue: When in edit mode the Instruction toolbox tool tips can only be turned off by right clicking inside the instruction toolbox and uncheck option Show "Help" Tooltip. Don't go by what is shown in the tooltip at the bottom to turn it off.

2. Critical issue: If you are H2-DM1 cpu which has no ethernet port for modbus server and select one of the modbus functions by click and drag or double clicking on it, you will LOCK-UP DMD2 with no recovery of any edits not saved because the only way out is to terminate DMD from the Task Manager.

Found and fixed.  Related specifically to when no Modbus Client devices exist - that code path was not initializing some variables correctly, which caused an MFC exception to be thrown in the middle of launching a dialog box (i.e. MRX/MWX editor).  That caused a "deadly embrace" within Windows UI, which is basically a locked up UI.

Will be fixed in the next version.  Again, thanks!!
