Oh OK I forgot 3 things:
1) If you want to have another Floorplan design (other than creating your own of course) then there\'s one called \"Test Harness.xml\" in the folder\"; rename this to \"ComfortClient.xml\" (after you\'ve renamed the one already there) and restart the Application as you should see my test setup as per screenshot below. Whilst at the moment the client is hard-coded to look for the \"comfortclient.xml\" file (ie same name as application) in the near future I\'ll change this so that you can open any named config (you can already do SAVE AS... from within the editor). I want to make this change when I also move the filenames (CCLX and WAV file) from the Connections tab to a \"Configuration > Settings > Connection\" item on the main menu.
2) Dont use the \"FutureHome Example.xml\" file in the ZIP file as I\'ve noticed it\'s an old version when I was using full pathnames. It\'s basically just a copy of the original comfortClient.xml file anyway! If you wanted too you\'d need to edit it and do a replave for file path to \"images<file>\" format (ie relative path).
3) The \"Form Object Name\" and the \"Instance #\" fields need to be treated with caution in this version. \"Form Object Name\" is the picturebox/label name and as with when you are creating in visual studio they can\'t be duplicated. I\'m not trapping that in this version yet so be careful to give a unique name each time. In the next version these will be system generated so and this field will just be the \"pretty name\" which can be duplicated. \"Instance #\" allows you to assign more than a single object (you can have as many as you want) to a Comfort Event, so if for example you want \"Zone 7 ON\" to fire 3 pictureboxes and 5 labels then you can ; you\'d increment instance # for each of the Form Object Names respectively. At the moment you have to know to set this yourselves but I will change so that the system automatically does this for you for each\"Comfort Type\" & \"Comfort State\" pairing.
Remember too if the running Floorplan isnt what you want then go back into the editor click on an item; drag it, scale it, add/edit more properties, delete it.
That\'s it....have fun!
We should start a competition for best looking Floorplan hey?
