HMI Report
The HMI Report feature parses a solution to gather information on various elements like:
- How many bitmaps are loaded in this solution?
- How many of them are actually used and which is the biggest/smallest?
- Which controls/behaviors/texts are in the solution and where are they used?
The HMI report is presented as a set of HTML documents, which can be customized to the users requirement. The documents are linked to one another through a navigation bar.

This speeds up testing of your application massively.
The newly introduced possibility for recording this TCP/IP communication allows you to replay it as often as you wish. This really helps to create automated test-cases and debug your applications.”
