New TouchGFX text doesn't show up in IAR

[RPett.2]

We have been having this issue for a while. We are in TouchGFX version 4.19.1 (but it seems to be an issue in most versions). For a while we were able to add text in touchgfx and everything worked great. Then after a while TouchGFX wouldn't create the text bitmap in BitmapDatabase.hpp. When the text is added to a screen it would say the bitmap isn't defined, which makes sense since new text isn't showing up in the bitmap database. I can add new text boxes to screens with words that were added before things stopped working. So it seems to me like some disconnect occurred with generating the BitmapDatabase. I was wondering if you know of a configuration file that points to BitmapDatabase and it may be generating things in the wrong place now or if this could be a different issue

Hello @RPett.2​ ,

Is it possible for you to share your project, so we can more easily debug it ?

Thanks,

Texts was never be connected with bitmap database. And if you use IDs you miss.

IDs is only enums , that some enums bitmap is equal to enums in texts...

Hey Yoann I'm a contractor for this company project so I don't think I can share the actual code. I could share any config files though?

It worked fine for an older project in TouchGFX 4.10. For this project we upgraded the project to the 4.19.1 version. It would add text from touchgfx semi often, but for the last month or so I can't get it to add new text ever

Why not 4.20

[RPett.2]

So the weird thing is now I switched to 4.20 and it created all the text and I can now use all of it as well. It only worked the initial time after I upgraded versions. Now when I make more text in the new touchgfx it doesn't make the new ones

[RPett.2]

This isn't exactly a fix, but now I can reliably create new text by making everything I want in touchgfx 4.19.1, copying the project to a new folder, then running the copied project in touchgfx 4.20

Primary why you need many texts? Normal use is cretae one wildcard for every font type and size. Nothing more.
