New IPSetup

[dciliske]

We've been discussing redoing our tools for quite a while here, since they were originally built using MFC and Visual Studio 6. While these were good frameworks and tools when we started in 1998, they're somewhat problematic to work with today. Toward that end, I've reimplemented and redesigned IPSetup to use the QT framework.

This new version will be shipping with the NNDK *soon*. We are currently working towards adding QT into our build system.

New Features:

• Sort devices by fields
• Resizable window

The 'Launch Webpage' button doesn't work for me.

I am running on Windows7 64bit

under identical conditions the 2.2 version works fine

....and I'm an idiot. I completely missed that one. Button added, feature... not so much. I'll get right on that.

[Edit: And it's up now. I replaced the earlier upload with the corrected one.]

Still can't get 'Launch Webpage' to do anything

[dciliske]

OK... small behavioural issue. When the timer ticks and updates the display list with the new set of discovered devices, the selection is cleared. If you select an item before the discovery process finishes, you will likely miss the window before the next tick, and the launch webpage will do nothing as there is no selection. The selection clearing issue is due to the fact that the display has to be entirely nuked each update, otherwise expanded entries (devices with more than one interface) behave... strangely when sorted (aka, subentries showing up on the wrong parents).

I'll have to think about ways around the problem.

Thanks Dan. I tried waiting for the 'Search Again' button to change from ''disabled" (greyed out) to "enabled" before selecting the required device and then using the "Launch Webpage" button. And this works fine.

I am used to the old version where if there was only a single device shown in the list,I did not need to select it, the button would work anyway.


BTW, I accidentally pressed 'Save...' with nothing selected and IPSetup 3.0 crashed!

[dciliske]

Crap! I thought I fixed that...

Ahh teething pains. I'll look into auto selecting the first entry there's only one device found.

While you are working on it, this is a small thing, but whenever I open IPSetup 3.0, the field displaying IP addresses is always just too narrow to read the complete ip address. IP address is usually the first thing I want to know when using ipsetup, so it would be good if the full ip address was visible

edit: the displayed width of the 'IP Address' column is being reset to its narrow default width, after every 'search again'
