In case anybody has been following this discussion, there is one minor tweak required to the example.

We encountered the problem that if the slider controlling the message content was moved, occasionally the checksum was wrong.

The fix for this was to change the code as follows:
Sub ...

Just to let you know that this is now working well.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the response. This looks like a good solution.

We use the PCAN symbol editor to import a DBC file and create the symbol file. Is there any way to specify the raw data field in the DBC so that it is automatically included in the symbol file?

If I decide to go down the C# and add-in route ...

Thanks. The source code would be very useful. I will send an email to your support address.

Maybe I should just ask our IT team to update the laptop to Windows ...

Thanks for your prompt response. I tried what you suggested but the problem persists. I will now contact support as you suggested.

Hello,

Unfortunately we still have one PC that runs XP and a user is trying to install a PCAN Add-in that I have asked about in previous threads.

The add-in works correctly immediately after installation but if PCAN Explorer is restarted, it exits as soon as the project is loaded.

When installing ...

Hello,

I have a PCAN panel with various controls that are linked to a transmit message. The transmit message contains a sequence number. I would like to take the values from the panel and transmit them in the message but also automatically increment the sequence number with each transmitted message ...
