Hi Ben,

I tried generating the inf file for the Custom driver as shown in the wiki may be I am justr to old howver I cannot select Yes for generating the driver ,
if I select the "Yes" property it immidialtly goes to no again ,
If I compile the project I have no inf file .
In my understanding from the Wiki after the generation of the inf file the property will automatically go to "No" however this is working in reverse with me
Please help!

Hi Peter,

I've just tried this and it seems to be working ok. Changing "Generate Driver" to "yes" will create a .inf file in the same location as the .fcfx project file and then the "yes" will flip back to "no". Changing this property causes the .inf file to be created, and not compiling the project.

FYI: it is done this way because (currently) there is no way to have a button press event for a component property. What we do instead is detect that this property changes to "yes" and then this triggers the event as if a button has been pressed. The component then automatically flips the property back to "no" once the event has been actioned.

Regarding the "timeout" issue, this seems to be a bug and hopefully Ben will fix this soon.

Regards,
Steve.

Try right-clicking the generated .inf file and selecting "install". That might work...
