OK i have it, the screen resolution is based on Primary screen resolution, secondary screens are not take into account. I will see if I can get EWP to detect which screen it is on and set the parameters accordingly.... Thanks

This is now fixed :-)

I would like to fix this, leave it with me :-)

On a really wide screen it will look thin but prints perfectly for A4. See image below. In terms of the smaller screen do you know what screen resolution you were running at? So I can test it further :-)

This is strange as I dont get it, I develop on two monitor setup so I cabn live debug on one screen while running EWP on the other, I dont have any issues, very strange!!

Great thanks, fixed, I had labelled the setting as "DoubleLineSpaceAtStartup" and should have read "DoubleLineSpacingAtStartup". Will be released asap.

Merry Christmas and Happy Near Year! As always with an software release test it before putting into a live environment as I cannot be held responsible for any issues arising. I can only try to fix programmatical issues :-) Now with the disclaimer over with, please enjoy! (Download link at the bottom) Fixed - Minimise to Tray Menu Button was causing the software to crash when the clock timer thread was trying to update while minimised. Fixed - Additional Form windows now open as Dialog Modals to force them to the front and be top most, thus stopping them from going behind the main form window. Changed - Candidate Information screen has be re-arranged to allow a better flow when filling in. Fixed - Stopped AutoSave prompt window from appearing if you have either the Candidate Info/Previous Version/Screen Options/Insert Key/Password On Exit screens open. Added - Ability to print off the JCQ Word Processing Cover Sheet if using either AQA, Pearson, WJEC, OCR, CCEA or CIE boards. Option to turn it on is in the config file. Page 2 of the Cover Sheet will not print off as it is not necessary. Added - New ExamWritePad icon for 2018 (one reason why the EXE has grown in file size). Added - Password to exit Software can be initiated via the config file. Added - Filename by default on first save will include Candidate Name, Candidate Number, Candidate Unit Code. Added - Ability to encrypt ExamText files. You need to set config options "EncryptFiles" to 1 and "EncryptionKey" to a 40 character key using the ExamWritePadKeyGenerator.exe, if you plan on using this feature please test it extensively before deploying in a live environment. If you have any issues with this feature, then the Previous Versions are not encrypted and can be rolled back to recover. Removed - "PrintBackColour" in config as the colour of the richtext control cannot change from white while printing. If you wish to print please use coloured paper of your choice. Added - You can now turn on Double Line Spacing at startup as default. Set the config option "DoubleLineSpacingAtStartup" to 1. If you are using an older config file and wish to continue to use it, please see the example config and modify yours to suite with all new options released with version 2.1 Download here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fHOxuhOeBtUA-Em2yj_qzocncrq3Afjl On my TODO list so far are: Text Highlighting when in extra time (not sure how feasable this is at the moment but will take a deeper look soon).

Announcement tomorrow. No, not macOS/Linux/Win10 Metro App sorry.

That is a strange one, and yes it’s just a status bar that does a word/character count and displays the time. It won’t impact the final work in anyway so not to worry. I wouldn’t know where to start with this one? Could be a form paint error or something similar...

No sorry

Yes of course, and it’s what I should have done from day one but it was the least of my issues but now having a solid product means I can now go back in the code and tidy it all up and make it more efficient [emoji1303][emoji1] I’m the type of programmer that learns by examples rather than study a course [emoji1]

Hi, any window that pops up from the main window always gets focus and is top most above the main window. Each window has the following code on form load: Me.TopMost = True Me.BringToFront That seems very strange but the user has done something to inadvertently send it back. But if you try to replicate it you can’t, so would need a step by step account to reproduce. But glad to like it [emoji1303][emoji1]

At the moment in not sure how long this will take as I’m getting the new 2.1 version ready for release within a few weeks. I will keep this forum informed as and when I get underway and whether it can be done or not.. :-)

In general or when activating extra time?

Glad to know it’s sorted, I had noticed that 4.7.1 had broken a few other softwares like smart notebook 11.4 so it didn’t surprise me that there could be issues however small....

Ok, does it work ok if you close all instances and run it only on the one that fails? Are the laptops the same make/model? I just wonder if you cloned a good one over to the failing one, and see if the issue still persists? The software relies on heavily on .NET framework and is compiled on 4.0, if you removed 4.7.1 and go back to 4.6.2 does it work? See what you can find out :-)

Your welcome! New stuff coming soon. :-)

This is a good option too :-)

Thanks, I’ve another surprise coming soon hopefully, another time saver for exam officers whining printing.....

Shouldn’t see why not, something like config entry called “PasswordOnExit” and if a password is set prompt for password. Watch this space! :-)

MLS have confirmed to me that HTML5 interface is not coming to self hosted. You either have to host with MLS or continue with IE and silverlight self hosted.

5000 lumens we have just had installed. It’s great!

I will brief you all up soon, on what is coming in the next 2.1 release, should be in around two weeks...

It will be in the next version, something like "{Name}-{Candidate Number}" or "{Name}-{Candidate Number}-{Subject/Unit Code}"

Your welcome [emoji1303]
