Hi all, recently I have updated my PSoC Creator to version 4 and I'm unable to edit or change any codes in some previous projects I made. The text cursor won't appear when I click on any lines on the main.c file. Nothing comes out when I press any key on my keyboard.

Hi, I just attached my computer information. In the beginning, I suspect the issue is related to any projects created using old PSoC Creator. However I created a new project yesterday and the issue happens with my new project as well.

Hi I have tried uninstalling my PSoC Creator 4.0 and install the new software using the link provided. However the problem still persists.
I'm not sure if I have done a clean removal of PSoC Creator 4.0, I suspect it might be linked to any old files which don't get remove during uninstallation.

​Please update us whether that also has the issue mentioned previously.

   

It will help us in categorizing the issue whether it is related to PC4.0's incorrect install or some system specific issue

Hi, I have installed PSoC Creator 3.3 SP2 but I'm unable to open the project I created in PSoC Creator 4.0. I was prompted an error of "data not formatted correctly", might be due to different compiler version I guess?

Yes,it is expected that the project created in PSoC Creator 4.0 will not open in PC3.3 SP2.

   

But,you can check for the issue by opening any example project in PC3.3SP2

Welcome in the forum.Can you please post your complete project, so that we all can have a look at all of your settings. To do so, use
Creator->File->Create Workspace Bundle (minimal)
and attach the resulting file.

Hi all,

   

Sorry for the late reply. I found a solution to edit the c file but the bug still exists. If I open PSoC Creator first then click "Open Project" there is no problem editing the file.
But if I open the .cywrk file in File Explorer the bug is there.

I think it has nothing to do with the project itself but the PSoC Creator.
I'm willing to post my project if it is still required.

Hi wjlee24_1764846,

   

Thank you for your solution, I use your way to open the project and then I can edit the C file, but I still can't edit the C file by double clicking to open the project.

Hello,

   

Ideally you should open the project with "Open Project" option in PSoC Creator IDE or double clicking the "PSoC Creator Workspace" file)(Testing_Space )or  double clicking the  "PSoC Creator Project" file inside  7_Segment_LED.cydsn   file.

   

I opened by those ways the project in PSoC Creator4.0 UP1 ,I am unable to find the issue.

   

Can you mention are you trying to open the project by some other way

Hi ANKS,

If I open the file by double clicking the .cydsn file, the issue is there. But if I open the file through "Open Project" option is PSoC Creator IDE, there's no problem at all.

Thanks

This behavior shows that something is wrong with the file-association in windows. Obviously not a Creator problem.

Hi All

Encountered the same issue as mentioned by the thread initiator.

This occurred when migrating complete uncompressed, unarchived PSoC Creator project folders from a Win 7 Pro to Win 10 box.

The issue, for my installation, appeared to be related to the cywrk file. Deleting the cywrk resolves the issue as Creator regenerates the file and editing in PSoC Creator was then possible.

Differences between the a working and non-working file appeared to be in XML entries SelectedNodeId and of course OpenDocs and DocumentWindow.

Hope this helps someone, albeit late!
