nothing was changed in the project.
Corrected algorithm used by the compiler to calculate prerender size of projects for

assigned, an error will now be generated at compile-time.

of panels are:
1 Panels with Native PNG Support (XPANEL*, TPMC-15/17, UPX, TPMC-10):
PNGs will be displayed with full translucency, both in VTPro-e and on the panel.
2 Panels without Native PNG Support: Since the Panel does not support rendering
full translucency, the PNG behaves both in VTPro-e and on the panel like a
Windows bitmap. Bitmap-like transparency, using a bleed color, is available, but
otherwise the PNG is not rendered using it's translucency channel, and appears
opaque.

version 1.1.3

initial release of VisionTools Pro

II. Introduction to VisionTools Pro-e

VisionTools Pro-e is an upgraded version of VisionTools Pro which adds support for
creating web-based "touchpanels" using Crestron's e-control technology. The process of
generating these pages is essentially identical to designing touchpanels. The major
difference is that you must select "XPanel" as your panel type when creating the project
and then select "Browser" as the Target in the Compile settings of the project properties.
VisionTools Pro-e contains all the features of VTPro, plus support for e-control. As such,
VTPro-e is intended as a direct replacement to VTPro.
NOTE: Touchpanel projects created in earlier version of VTPro can be opened in VTProe, but once they are saved they cannot be reopened in the earlier version. If you expect
that you or another person may need to open the project in the earlier VTPro, you should
make a backup copy of the project first, then open it in VTPro-e.

III. Regarding the use of foreign-language characters

VTPro-e v2.0 has added improved support for displaying foreign-language characters on
Crestron touchpanels. However, since some characters can have different meanings for
different languages, you may need to specify which language you are using.
If you are designing pages using Japanese, Chinese, or Korean characters, you must edit
the vtpro.ini file which is located in the same directory as VTPro-e. In this file, locate the
[Language] section and edit it to the following (or, if your vtpro.ini file does not have this
section, add it):
[Language]
FarEast=True

If you are using a language other than the three mentioned above, this property should be
set to "False," which is the default value, or remove the [Language] section entirely.

IV. PC Requirements and Recommendations

Minimum required PC configuration
Windows 2000/XP/Vista: 500 MHz Pentium III processor
256 MB RAM
Internet Explorer 5.5
A display setting of High Color (16 bit)
800x600 screen resolution
Recommended PC configuration
Windows XP/Vista: 1.3 GHz Pentium 4 processor
1 GB RAM or more
Internet Explorer 6 or later
A display setting of "True Color (24 bit)" or higher
1024x768 or larger screen resolution

V. Licensing VisionTools Pro-e

VisionTools Pro-e is a free software package, a licensing fee is no longer required in
order to enable access to e-control 2 objects (i.e. creating web pages).
If you do plan to use e-control 2 for a Windows CE device (i.e. Pocket PC, hand held
PC), activation is still required for the control system.

VI. Known Bugs/Issues in VisionTools Pro-e

Beginning with version 3.9 of VisionTools Pro-e, the Browser panel type (aka eControl 1) will no longer be supported. This is partly due to Microsoft ending support
for the MS Virtual Machine, which was a component required by this panel. Version
3.8 was the last version to allow the creation of Browser projects. Users should now

use XPanel (e-Control 2) for their web-based projects.

It has been discovered that Windows XP Service Pack 2 causes a memory leak with
applications that use the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC). This can be seen by
using Task Manager to watch the allocation of GDI objects by the application when
child windows are created and destroyed. Since VisionTools Pro-e uses MFC it is
affected by this issue and may eventually crash after a large amount of page views are
opened and closed. This is especially true when using it through SystemBuilder.
Microsoft is aware of this problem and has issued Hotfix KB319740 to address it. For
more information and to download the patch, please see:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319740/en-us

Italic Japanese fonts with characters that lean to the extreme right may get clipped or
have improper spacing. We are looking into this issue further but currently the only
known workaround is to not use Italic for Japanese characters.

As of v3.5.0.4, run-times for XPanel-HPC and XPanel-PPC have been updated to

Microsoft Windows CE v4.2. This was necessary in order to support a number of new
and upcoming features such as dynamic graphics. PDA devices that are using older
versions of Windows CE (v3.0 or earlier) can no longer be supported. Contact your
device's manufacturer for an upgrade to Windows CE.NET 4.0 or later.

While it is permitted to assign a transparent bleed color for a graphic that uses a JPEG
format image, it is not advisable. JPEG is a lossy graphic format and may cause slight
variance in the rendering of solid colors. Since the bleed color is assigned by RGB
value, it is very difficult to get an accurate match.

As of v3.4.3.3, Real Player is available as an Embedded Application for the UPX-2_

1GB panel type. However it requires the 2.08.00.08 revision of the UPX firmware.

customers running Norton Anti-Virus 2000 may receive a virus warning regarding the
file xmlds0.cab when installing the Microsoft Virtual Machine. This is apparently a
bug in Norton Anti-Virus 2000, and is not a real virus. This warning can be ignored.
A fix for this should be available from Symantec. For more information, see the link:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q244/4/28.ASP

v2.3.3.1 introduced a significant change regarding the CT-1000 touchpanel. You must
have CT-1000 firmware version 6.001.0 or later in order to program a CT-1000 with
VisionTools Pro-e version 2.3.3.1 or later.

as of v2.3.x.x, SmarTouch programming is no longer supported by VisionTools

Pro-e. Both the SmarTouch Wizard and the SmarTouch Pro-Editor have been
replaced by the SystemBuilder. Users who have created SmarTouch projects and
plan to create new ones or edit old ones in the future must keep a separate copy of an
older version (v2.2.3.6 or earlier) of VisionTools Pro-e installed on their PC for
working with these projects.

VisionTools Pro-e version 2.2.3.6 is available under the Archive Library section of
the Crestron FTP site.

some graphics may not display properly in VTPro-e when your computer display is
running in 256-color or less mode. This should not affect the compiled project file.
The current workaround is to set your display to high- (16-bit) or true- (24-bit or 32bit) color modes if your hardware supports it.
