I have written a program (C#) to control the BlueBox using the API. Now every time after several days the BlueBox crashes. I suspect my controling program of doing something that causes it. But the logging of BlueBox gives no clues. Is there a way to find out what causes the hangings? ...

I have the same question. It would be nice when a text field first squeezes a certain amount before word wrapping, and the same with the second line. First squeeze a bit, and if the text is even longer wrap to 3 lines (with no squeeze). I think it cannot be done, am I right? #XPression

Maybe what was the case is that you should start Visual Studio as administrator (right click icon and choose Rus as Administrator) #XPression

RE: How to use the OnSceneState event

I have XPression Developer V6.1 installed and add a reference in my Visual Studio project from the C:/Program Files (x86)/XPressionDeveloper/net folder. Perhaps that is the reason, because I don't have an XPression reference, only xpression.net and xptoolslib.net #XPression

I hope I'm not being rude, but in the C# API 6.1.0.3437, and used with Visual Studio Professional 2015 the default of AsCopy for either GetSceneByName and GetSceneByID is False. I am not using Python here. #XPression

Thanks for the beautiful example! There were some fionts missing, but it works anyway. Also I had to change some code to make it work, the default for parameter AsCopy from GetSceneByname is False, and the scenes should be a copy. So I had to change all GetSceneByName("Line1", TickerLine1) ...

Thank you Brian. However the default of AsCopy in GetSceneByID is 'false', not 'true'. So changing the code to engine.GetSceneByID(1, out scene, true); solved my problem. #XPression
