i've added #include <touchgfx/mixins/MoveAnimator.hpp> to screen2view.cpp as well .. 

I'm new to this so unsure what or where the problem is ? 

i've read the documentation and .. "isMoveAnimationRunning" can be found .. 

anyone shed any light please ...

Hello @JohnSkeldon,

Can you try to check "MoveAnimator" in your textClock element ?

BR,

[JohnSkeldon]

yes ... i did that as well 

[unsigned_char_array]

Please use formatting

No specific language (for instance terminal output):

A programming specific language (such as C/C++):

 

[JohnSkeldon]

Sorry 

[LouisB]

Did you tried to delete the generated folder and also the middleware/st folder ?

BR,

[JohnSkeldon]

deleted both , re-made code . tried to compile ,,

same error .. TextArea has no member named 'isMoveAnimationRunning'.

is it worth me zipping the progect up and letting someone have a look at it ? 

[LouisB]

Yes you can zip it, so I take a look

[JohnSkeldon]

i am new to this .. i'm use to embedded 'c' , its been ages since i looked at C++ so its something obvious. so my appologies if i've made some *** mistake . So sorry and thank you.  I'm happy for you to message me privately (saves filling the message board up )

No worries, we all start somewhere :)

In Screen2View, you shouldnt have these lines. They are already created in Screen2ViewBase, and textClock shadows the one from Screen2ViewBase, that's why you have the error.

The Screen2ViewBase is the base class of your screen that has been generated by TouchGFX. When you create a widget to your screen and regenerate it's automatically added to that class. More information here : UI Development Introduction | TouchGFX Documentation.

If you are new to TouchGfx, I highly recommend you to check the documentation and also the tutorials.

I hope it helps,

BR,

Thank you , it seams to work other than the minutes are going up as seconds .. i'm more bothered about it compiling 

:) . i have got it set up for my dev kit though maybe that's it ..

[unsigned_char_array]

I got it to build and simulate.

Just uncomment these two lines in Screen2View.hpp:

 

 //Unicode::UnicodeChar textClockBuffer1[TEXTCLOCKBUFFER1_SIZE];
 //Unicode::UnicodeChar textClockBuffer2[TEXTCLOCKBUFFER2_SIZE];

 //TextArea textClock; // Ensure this matches your UI component type

 

Screen2View inherits from Screen2ViewBase, which inherits from Screen2Presenter. The textClock is already in the base class:

 

 touchgfx::Draggable< touchgfx::ClickListener< touchgfx::FadeAnimator< touchgfx::MoveAnimator< touchgfx::TextAreaWithTwoWildcards > > > > textClock;

 

As you can see it is no longer simply a TextArea class.
