Missing vtft file

#1 Post by pkoenig » 16 Nov 2021 06:51

I inherited a project that used Fisual TFT. Unfortuately the .vtft was not preserved when the code was transferred to me. I have all the VTST generated file, and I can get the porject to build, but I am limited in what changes I can make in the UI.

Is there any way to recover/reconstruct the .vtft file?, other than manually redefining all the ui elements in VTFT?

Hi,

I'm afraid the only way is to manually redesign the GUI.

Regards,
Filip.

Hi

if you open the project XXX_driver.c file in a text editor, you will see all the information about every screen and every button/label/etc/etc on those screens. With this information it is quite possible to recreate the vtft file.

Hi rus51:
Thanks for the tip. Yes, I have looked thru the derived files, and I have a working version of the UI. I was just hoping to avoid the tedious task of reproducing the vtft file in order to fix a whole lotta errors.
It may be easier for me to start from scratch.
thanks for the timely input.
