Why are the Heavac Dialog FBoxes not present in PG5 1.4, 2.0 or 2.1?

FAQ #100150

Symptom

In a PG5 1.4 or 2.0/2.1 Fupla program there are some FBoxes crossed because the FBoxes with the macro prefixes _Dl0xxx are not available. E.g. the FBox _DL0EDI2I such as shown in the screenshot below (the macro prefix can be displayed by showing the "Advanced info" from the context menu. 


Reason
The FBoxes of the library "HVC/CVC/HLK Dialog" aren't automatically included into the installation of the PG5 1.4 and 2.0/2.1. This is because the program for controlling displays (PCD7.D1xx and PCD7.D2xx) now may be done by using the HMI Editor, which is much more comfortable and efficient. Also all displays are supported by the HMI Editor.

Solution
In case the FBoxes of this library are already used in an existing (PG4 or PG5)-project it is possible to install the "CVC Dialog" library also in PG5 1.4 or PG5 2.0.

 

• PG5 2.1
  Download the file from this FAQ and execute the file
• PG5 2.0
  The executable installation file (HeaDlg_V26100.saiazip) is placed in the folder /PG5 Stand Alone/S-Libraries/Fboxes/ of the PG5 2.0 installation CD.
• PG5 1.4.300
  The executable installation file (HeaDl0_23141.exe) is placed in the folder /Pg5/libs/Old/ of the PG5 1.4 installation CD.

Remark concerning PG5 1.4 on Windows7 (64 bit)
Unfortunately the PG5 1.4 installer for the Dialogue FBoxes can not copy the files to the right directory. Therefore the files need to be extracted manually:

• Rename the installer file from HeaDl0_23141.exe to HeaDl0_23141.zip
• Unzip the files
• Copy the files to the folder where the libraries are installed
  by default c:\Program Files (x86)\SAIA-Burgess\PG5 1_4\Libs\App\
