Release 0.17.b40

Bug Fixes for 0.17.b40

A bug in the Text Model has been fixed. The bug caused generated code for text fields
to set gslc_ElemSetFillEn(&m_gui,pElemRef,false); (basically claiming the text field is transparent).
This was forcing full page refreshes to occur on each update loop.

• Bug Fix 278 - GuiSlice builder 0.17.b38 - Text problem

The new feature "Text is a Variable?" support that nadjet09 added has caused some confusion amoung our users.
It's caused users to actually place quotes inside the text string while laying out their UI.
They do this because if "Text is a Variable?"=true they get compiler errors for undefined variable.

In an effort to clear things up it's been changed to ""Wrap Quotes around text?"
with a default of true since its very rare for users to need variables or defines to set text.
Now if users set this value to false a WARNING message will also popup:

WARNING: Turning this to false
means no quotes will be output
during code generation.
Are you sure?

I Have also renamed the windows setup exe to drop the current version number at the end.
So now it will always be builder-win.exe this is because every time I run a new version
Norton anti-virus makes me play twenty questions with it before I can actually do a new install.
Hopefully I will only have to this once now...

User Guide,pdf has been updated to this release.

Added support for Chinese TFT_eSPI Smooth Font wqyMicroHei16.vlw.

Added support for Arabic fonts using TFT_eFEX library.

Arabic Fonts require using TFT_eSPI SMOOTH_FONTS (.VLW extension) and this in turn needs eFontRefType = GSLC_FONTREF_FNAME and fontRefMode = GSLC_FONTREF_MODE_1.

The following fonts are shipped with the Builder inside GUIsliceBuilder/fonts/vlw/data:

• cairobold16.vlw
• cairobold20.vlw
• cairolight16.vlw
• cairolight20.vlw
• cairomedium16.vlw
• cairomedium20.vlw

Generated Code Example:

  // ------------------------------------------------
  // Load Fonts
  // ------------------------------------------------
//<Load_Fonts !Start!>
    if (!gslc_FontSet(&m_gui,E_CAIROBOLD16,GSLC_FONTREF_FNAME,CAIROBOLD16_VLW,16)) { return; }
    gslc_FontSetMode(&m_gui, E_CAIROBOLD16, GSLC_FONTREF_MODE_1);
//<Load_Fonts !End!>
