You can look at the control I posted here. It does not limit the angle. Feel free to plagiarize, it won't bother me at all.

I checked it out and I'm glad you included it but I am not sure why put limits on it by only allowing 90º increments. It doesn't help if I have a screw auger that needs to be shown at 60º.

I also noticed that the rotation property options are repeated twice.

Here is a variation that simulates movement by switching between two images.

I created a GraphicIndicator that will allow you to rotate the image.
Additional Properties included: Rotation, MinimumHoldTime, ShowThrough and TransparentColor.
Depending on what version you are running, you may have to change
SubScriptions.ComComponent To SubScriptions.CommComponent

Is this something you would consider adding to the Serial drivers?

Yes it could but then I would have to find or create my own motor image. I like the one you created. Just thought this might be a nice addition to future releases.

Feature Request / GraphicIndicator image rotation
« on: June 08, 2016, 01:24:54 PM »
The ability to rotate the 3 images during development. It would help in development time and overall size of the compiled project because you would not need to have multiple versions on the same image at different angles (depending on the need).
For example:
I created a image of a valve. In some places I need the valve to be shown vertically and in other places it need to be shown horizontally (depending on the flow and physical space on the Form). Currently I need to have a minimum of 4 images (2 for each rotation to show status On/Off).

I would helpful if a second color (Red) was added to the motor control be used to indicate a fault. This would eliminate the need to add a separate BasicLabel control.

Open Discussion / Microsoft.VisualBasic reference
« on: June 07, 2016, 10:25:01 AM »
Since you are only using the Microsoft.VisualBasic reference in 2 controls (BasicLabel and ChartBySampling) it would be nice if you replace MsgBox and Now so that this reference is not needed in future releases.

Feature Request / Re: Illuminated Momentary Button
« on: May 25, 2016, 10:22:00 AM »
I created an illuminated pushbutton control and decided to post it here for anyone else to use.
Properties included: images for the 3 states of the button (Normal, Pressed, and Illuminated), button OutputType, ValueToWrite , PLCAddressVisible, PLCAddressClick, PLCAddressValue, and MinimumHoldTime.
I have included the images I use but this control uses images you supply so you can make the button look any way you like.
I did not include a text area on the legend plate for 2 reasons:
1. I do not always want a button with a label.
2. I wanted to be able to make the text area as large or small as needed.
Depending on what version you are running, you may have to change
SubScriptions.ComComponent To SubScriptions.CommComponent

I tried using the Pilot Light but the color difference between On/Off is too small. The off color goes from light on the outside to dark on the inside. It would be better if it were switched like the SimpleLED.
I just wanted to say thanks again for this GREAT software. Being open source has allowed me to do things I could not do in other commercial HMI software.

Feature Request / MinimumHoldTime

Your BasicButton has a MinimumHoldTime property. This feature would be nice to have on the MomentaryButton as well.

Unfortunately that does not work if you are trying to use the Pilot Light as an illuminated push button. Any another work around?

Support Questions / Pilot Light Control
« on: May 18, 2016, 03:33:21 PM »
I have placed a pilot light control on a Form and set the PLCAddressValue property. If the PLCAddressValue is True and the pilot light is clicked then the pilot light shows the LightColorOff even though the PLC address is still true. It remains the off color until the Form is closed and reloaded or the PLC address changes from True to False to True. If I have multiple lights with the same PLC address, the only one affected is the one clicked.
