Hello,
First of all: Thank you Derek Read for activating my profile on this board.
My Question relates to the following system:
XMetaL(R) Author Enterprise 12.0.0.077
XMetaL(R) Developer Version 12.0.0.077
Visual Studio 2015 (Community Edition) Update 3
OS: Windows 10 Pro, English
I am new to XMetaL Developer and I plan a small Application Customization for XMetaL Author Enterprise with my Experience in JavaScript. Therefor I created a new project with Visual Studio and tried to write a simple 'Hello World' program by testing different events like
- On_Application_Open
- On_Application_Close or
- On_Update_UI
When I start the program out of Visual Studio by pressing the 'Start' button, it is strange that the code will not be executed. By creating a breakpoint in the line
Application.Alert('Hello world');
I can see that the breakpoint would not be hit. You can see it by the red circle with the white filling (have a look at attachment). But when I copy the build artifact (*.mcr file) into the startUp folder (C:\Program Files\XMetaL 12.0\Author\StartUp), the code will be executed. I know it, because I can the see my 'Hello World' alert boxes.
Is this problem a bug of XMetaL Developer or am I doing something wrong?
I would be grateful for your help.
René
