Solution:
We have release a new build of ATEasy 4.0.
The new release includes several bug fixes that were found since build 90 was released and some new features as shown here:
Run-Time
1. Form.Refresh method did not invalidate the rectangle and only update the window.
2. Non-public form procedures and events were accessible outside the form even if they are not public.
3. Error in Catch block need to be sent to outer Try Block instead of the current one.
4. Path of CompanyLogo.gif in the test log was changed to absolute from the ATEasy folder. This allows proper display of the log file from any folder.
5. When running from the IDE OnEnd for drivers sometimes did not get called.
6. Assignment of Driver type Structure that is alias (typedef) to a driver DLL type structure to a literal in a program fails loading of EXE. Executable returned ‘Unknown Error’ when running EXE.
7. GPIB IO Table timeout with NI board does not take effect unless with set the timeout in NI max properties.
8. Setting App.StartProgram before the start program gets called did not had any effect.
9. Tolerance test display +3/+0 instead of +3/-0 in the test log.
10. Assign a variant array member which is also an array into another variant generated run-time error #310 : 'Unable to assign a value'.
11. Using function that return a structure field will crash at run-time.
12. Hour glass is displayed when the EXE is loaded.
13. Calling the Abort statement twice will terminate the application.
14. Calling ExitTest statement from OnInitTest will skip OnEndTest.
15. Nested modal forms may hang if no messages are available in Windows queue.
16. After Run/Start, calling Form.TextWidth second time loading same Modal form returns 0 instead of the actual width.
17. Test.Type property can be set at run-time.
18. Form.Tag, Control.Tag type was changed from string to variant.
19. Double precision test type Min/Max/Tolerance Pass/Fail status is evaluated within a 1e-15 tolerance rounded result to avoid floating point errors.
20. Run-time now supports changing the test type at run-time.
21. Allow assign of array literal with different dim size but same count.
22. Assign incompatible data type to initial value of indirect data type VARIANT/DOUBLE/DATETIME/CURRENTCY leaked memory.
23. When calling abort or reset statements ATEasy print ..."Application abort or reset by user" instead of "Application abort or reset".
24. MF42CLOC.DLL causes ATEasy to display ??? in various message boxes and in the Control property pages names.
25. When calling DLL function stack miss-match is now reported if the function is prototype with wrong number of parameters or wrong CDecl/StdCall DLL function definition.
26. Passing a string to VAR Any passes the address of the address of the string instead of the address of the string.
27. Passing NULL to DLL procedure’s parameter of type VAL OBJECT generates 'Internal Run-time Error # 28'.
28. Passing 'NULL' to DLL procedure's parameter of type [VAR] STRING generates compiler error # 620 'Expected l-value'.
29. Passing 'Nothing' to DLL procedure's parameter of type [VAL/VAR] ANY no longer working (did not pass NULL).
30. Compiler Error # 650 "Type 'Object' is undefined" when calling DLL proc which has parameter of type [VAL] OBJECT.
31. Run-time error #310 'Unable to assign a value' when accessing the returning struct's members from a call using Procedure variable.
32. s=FuncReturnVariantContainsStringArray()[0] caused GP fault.
33. Print ProcReturnComplexStruct().m_ArrayOfStruct[0].m_lField1 caused GP fault.
34. Changing TestStatus (i.e. to FAIL) at OnEndTest() event does not have any affect on UUT Status (GetUUTStatus()).
35. StringArray2D[0]=ByteArray1D generated a GP fault.
36. Calling DLL procedure with parameter of type VAR BString generated "Memory Access Violation" run-time error.
37. Assign DateTime to Variant will result in vtDouble instead of vtDate.
38. Goto a label within the same TRY block generates run-time error #330 - 'Catch or EndTry executed without Try'.
39. Unable to 'Ignore' recoverable error inside a CATCH block.
40. FileRead() should not allow reading more than the size of the Fixed size string.
41. Log.Append will not display the image unless an absolute file path is stated.
42. Assignment of array of bytes to string assignement xcaused internal error -33 line -2
43. MemoryCopy() does not work between array element (string/byte).
44. FileEOF() always returns zero, even when end of file is reached.
45. Changing procedure variable to parameter, setting a constant value, and than changing parameter to var or val causes ATEasy to lock.
IDE (integrated Development Environment)
1. Variables property page. Changing procedure variable parameter from none, setting a constant value, and changing parameter to var or val causes ATEasy to lock.
2. Debugger. Aborting the application from the IDE when the form.OnLoad() is in process causes ATEasy Crash upon when Call Stack view is open.
3. Driver shortcut Interface property page. Unable to populate I/O address IO1 with a range of values in the drivers properties/interface section.
4. Text file format. Constants variables should display their initial value even if it’s the same as the default value.
5. Paste Bellow command was enabled for the text editor.
6. Code completion displays function prototype in a different format than text file format.
7. Paste a procedures to procedure view with no procedures will crash.
8. Switching to another user with the same access rights should update menus and views with the new access rights.
9. After loading ATEasy, pressing TaskIt does not necessarily run the task that is shown by the cursor (as gray, not blue).
10. Do not allow drag anything to enum unless it has long + const
11. Globals. Internal Page did not display correct value for CONTROL and FORM variables.
12. ATEasy crashes when the command line is missing the file name after the option flag (e.g. /b).
13. Changes in the current user’s access rights (because of log in) was not reflected to the IDE only after the IDE was closed and open again.
14. Setting the initial value of Optional Variant Val Parameter to 'Nothing' will crash ATEasy upon Save.
15. Converting a number that start with a ‘.’ (i.e. .234) failed when serializing with text file format and from property pages.
16. Command parameters font is using the code editor font.
17. Parsing commands built-in arguments sometimes failed.
18. Changing public attribute of module variable from the variables property page cleared initial value.
19. Double click on a Form will not open the form if we have a browser window open with Forms selected and the form selected in the object view in list mode.
20. ATEasy Crash with ProgramIt after setting the active project.
21. Description in the property page. Tab setting is not the same as in the description view. Pressing enter in the description of the property page will insert a new line. Word wrap was also enabled.
22. Under Windows XP the tree/list view will not show the selection if the window does not have focus.
23. Comparing two drivers that turned out to be identical display a very big message box.
24. The new address when changing the address of a driver from the driver shortcut property page does not always save.
25. Test Property Page. Changing the test type from Min Max to Tolerance or Precise should reuse the values.
26. Change the test type from MIN-MAX to TOLERANCE gets caught in an endless loop
27. Importing FP that uses the new 5.1 specifications crashes ATEasy.
28. Missing files when opening Drivers.wsp (GP1008.drv, GP1650.prj and GT1648.prj).
29. When trying to copy constants from one ATEasy DLL driver to another (replacing all existing duplicates), the program hung up and did not respond to Windows.

36. Watch window's display format "All Hexadecimal" caused Bool var to display Hex instead of True/False.
37. Watching variant of type VT_UI4, VT_UI2 (reference) crashed ATEasy.
38. Struct displayed in Watch or CallStack windows will crash ATEasy after Redim the struct's field of type BString array.
39. Redim array which is currently expanded displayed in global call stack caused GP fault.
