The patch doesn’t run under 2015r1 because all of those changes were embedded in the release. Please create a feedback case with a simple example and we’ll take a look.

We experienced a similar problem with one of our web applications using 2015r1. We had previously released the application with 2014r3 with the patch applied. In that environment it worked fine.

Application structure:

  • compiled as standalone Linux executable

  • responds on port 9301

  • hosted on one of our Ubuntu 12.04 VM servers (ESXI 5.1 host OS if it matters)

What happens:

  • Labels are blank on some, but not all application dialogs.

  • This does NOT occur on dialogs that do not change the text property of any labels on the dialog while the program is running.

  • On those dialogs that do change the Text property of some labels while the program is running, the remaining unchanged labels appear as blank.

  • If code is added to assign a new value to the Text property of one of the labels that did NOT display, it will then display correctly.

  • The newly assigned Text property value MUST be different from the IDE assigned value or the label will remain blank.
    Example: Assigning lblDescription.Text = “Description” when the Text Property was assigned to “Description” in the IDE has no effect.

  • Preserving the original Text property value, then assigning an empty string to the Text property, followed by reassigning the original value corrects the problem.

Our Interim Fix

  • Sub-Class the WebLabel class

  • Add an Invalidate Method to the new Sub-Class that clears the Text Property and assigns the original value back to the Text property.

  • Replace the labels on the dialog with the new sub-classed label.

  • Use a For/Next Loop to walk the control array in our mm_clear method (resets dialog values) . Each control that is identified as a type of the new sub-classed label gets its invalidate method called.

This fix seems crazy, but it solved our problem.
