After updating to MultiCharts .NET Version 8.5 Release (Build 6861), the windows of the PowerLanguage Editor have become quite a mess:

However, I can't seem to drag-and-drop these windows back into the main PowerLanguage Editor window. They just remain floating above the PowerLanguage Editor instead of "popping in".

To compare, on my other pc (running MultiCharts .NET64 Version 8.0 Release (Build 5826)), it looks like this:

How can I get these floating windows to move "back in" the PowerLanguage Editor?

Thanks guys I was suffering from a different problem and this solved it.

After upgrading to version 8.5 RC 64-bit and now also to 8.5 64-bit, the PowerLanguage.NET editor is invisible when I run it! It shows in Task Manager and in the main application bar at the bottom of the screen, but no matter what I do, it will not show on the screen. I can right click the running application icon and quit the program so it is responsive and not "hung", just invisible. The previous 8.0 version appeared perfectly fine when running it however. After removing the registry key it now appears correctly as before!

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on VMWare Fusion on Mac.

Thanks,

Ed

Hi guys,

I just upgraded to 8.5 and now getting errors in existing code that looks to be part of MCs provided code. The errors are relating to the Range, RateOfChange, and PercentChange functions.

A probably related issue is that I'm trying to open my development workspace and its giving crash report dialog boxes relating to my code. I can't yet figure out what the problem is with my code because pleditor shows no error messages in my code - only errors relating to the functions listed above. My code worked fine in version 8.0.

With kind regards,
MK

Has anyone else experienced this when upgrading from 8.0? I can't understand what the problems are - especially since the PLEditor is pointing to code that comes with MC.net.

In MC 8.5 the functions you have mentioned became a static class. That means you no longer need to create a function object, you can call the function directly from your code. You can open the source code of the function to see how it works exactly.

Hi MidKnight,

Although I haven't used those particular functions that you mention, I had a very similar problem relating to the implementation of the Bollinger Band function

viewtopic.php?f=19&t=12571

I think there must have been some breaking changes between 8.0 and 8.5 relating to the way certain functions are implemented.

MultiCharts - it would be good if these changes can be listed along with the release notes.

Hello Ed,

We do not plan any code breaking changes in the nearest future, but in case it happens, we'll have that added to the changelog next time.

Henry, so why do I have to change this - this is MC code - not my own. You guys should have changed the way these functions are called in your own code. I'm no C# expert and to distribute releases like this is frustrating for the non C# experts.

MidKnight, you do not need to change anything. Pcnt_Decrease, Pcnt_Increase and PcntChg studies were renamed in MultiCharts 8.5.
You should have newly added and compiled Percent_Decrease, Percent_Increase and PercentChg studies in the list.
If you have them - you can delete obsolete Pcnt_Decrease, Pcnt_Increase and PcntChg studies.

OK Henry, I deleted those. Now what about this? Again in your distributed release code and not mine.

Avg_Close_Greate_Avg_Open has been substituted with Avg_Close_Greater_Avg_Open.

I wanted to hold of updating the IQFeed client (to 5.0.0.11) till the new MC .NET 8.7 beta version since that version will definitely support the latest IQFeed client, but I experience lately multiple IQFeed disconnects per day.

Since I read in this thread that updating the IQFeed client is currently not advised, I was wondering when we can expect the MC .NET beta version of 8.7. Is there an update on that?
