Hi Andrew,

Today I downloaded qpicsQt 1.1.2, built it, and did some testing.

I still get the error:

"Bug in QCaStringFormatting::formatString(). The QVariant type was not expected"

when I try to display contents of a waveform record in a QCaLabel.  Here is my waveform record:

record( waveform, "$(P):WF:ERROR"){

  field( DESC, "Error Message:")

  field( NELM, "128")

  field( FTVL, "CHAR")

}

The same is also true if I connect a QCaShape object to a bit field in a mbbiDirect record.

On a more positive note, I have just finished developing a “byte monitor” widget, which is similar to its counterpart in EDM.

So, now I have two custom CA aware widgets, which work for me.  The other is a “specialized” toggle button.

Thanks,

Zen
