still broken.

The toolbar buttons Run, Stop and ShowSerial Debug - their state is no longer synched to the action in progress.

for example

if i click RUN button, the stop button does not get enabled nor does the serial debugger appear.

Hi,

All other users have reported the problem in the last version is resolved so I am going to assume you have a different issue.

You haven't said which Ide version you are using or given any history so I will ask a few questions:-

1) Which version of vs?

2) If you are using VS2012 or 2013 have recently switched from the older Add-in version of Visual Micro to the new Extension version (which also supports vs2015)?

3) Please show a screen shot with code editor open code or project open in the solution explorer

Thanks

vs 2012. nothing had changed except for me upgrading your code from last week to this week.

here is screen shot after pressing PLAY green button, and your code builds and uploads, yet the serial monitor not show on screen nor the STOP button not enabled.

You mean the debugger has not started. That's why stop and serial are not showing.

Please show an image of the visual micro menu

You have switched off "Automatic Debugging" on the Visual Micro menu. 

That is the reason your serial window is not opening automatically and debug is not starting.

Turn it back on and it will work again.

thanks much. I didnt switch it off.  the upgrade process must have done it when it also lost the serial baud rate.

No the upgrade didn't switch off "Automatic Debugging" otherwise lots of users would have reported it + I know there isn't any code to change the option automatically and it's stored in the same place your ide location settings are stored.

The baud rate is a possibility if you were using an early version of the new format Visual Micro extension.
