    • Unable to run emWin sample projects in Visual Studio 2022

      Hi,

      I have just started working with the emWinsimulator. I am trying to run the example projects, but I am unable to followthe steps in the emwin documentation. I am running Visual Studio 2022. Here aremy issues:

      1. Unable to find "Settings" menu byright-clicking Application folder as per Step 1. There is a"Properties" menu
      2. On clicking Properties menu, it says "Thereare no property pages for the selection"
      3. Step 2 requires opening the Sample folder of theworkspace by double-clicking on it. As per the directory structure in thedocumentation itself, there is no sample folder available (although it is thereis file explorer).
      I have attached all the screenshots below foryour reference. Please let me know how to run the examples with MicrosoftVisual Studio 2022.
      Thank you so much and hope you have a great day!

    • Hi,

      I have to agree the description in the manual is not correct.

      To run the examples try the following:

      1. Exclude any files found in the "Application" folder of the VS Solution Explorer.
      - Expand the "Application" folder, mark all files in it and right click on them
      - Select "Properties"
      - Under "General" set "Exclude From Build" to "yes"
      - Of course, you can also delete all files found in the "Application" folder

      2. Add the example you want to run
      - Navigate to "SeggerEval_WIN32_MSVC_GUI_V<VersionNumber>\Sample\Application\"
      - Drag'n'drop the example into the VS Solution Explorer to add the example to the project
      - If the example is in a sub directory (e.g."GUI_NormalMapping_480x272") you also have to replace the file LCDConf.c. Simply exclude the original one as described under "1." and add the one from the example.
      - You can also add examples via the "VS Solution Explorer" by right clicking on a folder (e.g. "Application" ), select "Add -> Existing Item..." and adding the desired example files.

      You will find further examples under the following two links:

      wiki.segger.com/emWin_Examples
      segger.com/products/user-interface/emwin/technology/samples/

      I hope my explanation helped.

      Regards,
      Sven
