Combined navigation (positioning) and scanning data event.
This is ideal if you're requiring both data groups for your navigation/mapping solution.
The event is fired on every navigation update. All scanning data is collected between the last navigation update and this one.

When new scan points are received by a level #3 Group #1 sensor.
If you are creating a navigator, it is recommended to use teh OnNewLocationPointScanPoints becaue it contains both the combined location and scan points in one event

When a new location is updated by a Lavel #3 Group #2 sensor.
If you are creating a navigator, it is recommended to use teh OnNewLocationPointScanPoints becaue it contains both the combined location and scan points in one event

Variable Manager is a static instance which stores all variables in the environment.

Variables come in two types:
1) Normal variable (i.e. $x = 1)
2) Array (i.e. $x[2] = 1)

Variables accept two data types for values:
1) String ("hello world")
2) Numeric (-2.31)

When storing a string variable value, never specify start/end quotes on the string. This module will take care of that for you.

Variable values may contain escape characters:
1) \r
2) \n
3) \"

Event raised when a value of a variable has been changed.
If the variable is an array, the index will be populated with a value greater than 0
If the variable is not an array, the index will be -1
If you want the variable type, use the OnVariableChanged2 event

Event raised when a value of a variable has been changed.
If the variable is an array, the index will be populated with a value greater than 0
If the variable is not an array, the index will be -1

This is a variable entry, which contains the variable name and the value.
The value can either be String or Numeric, which is determined inside of SetValue().
SetValue() will check to see if the value is a number, if so, it will be stored as such and no quotes will be wrapped around it
If the value is a string, the SetValue() will automatically wrap quotes around it.
*Note: Do not ever wrap your own strings in quotes!

*Note: Never wrap the value in quotes. This function will wrap the string in quotes for you.
Also note that your string must have escaped characters (\r, \n, \")

If you pass a string into here, it will replace all instances of known $variables with their appropiate value

Get the value of a variable

Get the value of a variable array by the specified index

This holds the theme inforamtion, such as wallpaper, project filename, ezbits, etc..

The main manager for communicating with EZ-B's using many provided helpers.

Event risen when connection to any ezb changes

Time that EZ-Builder was first loaded.

The audio manager provides audio functions for recording and playing back audio.
To be friendly on resources, controls can share these methods and events.

The global log is useful to notify the user of an error or message.
This popups up a dialog at the bottom of the workspace for a few seconds with the debug message.
This also logs the message to the log file in the user's My Documents\EZ-Builder folder.

The movement panels control physical locomotion of the robot. The locomotion is handled through this movement class.
The locomotion of a robot is _ALWAYS_ the first EZ-B index in the list.
Your custom movement panel will obtain movement direction changes from this class.

It's standard to run intensive processes in separate thread than the UI. This means you can't simply modify the UI thread objects from another thread.
This class contains a lot of threadsafe functions to Get/Set properties of UI objects.

The FormMain is the user interface controller for the control framework. In here are commands to find controls, details of the current project, access the desktop manager, and more.

The current project that is loaded.

The last folder that was opened from the FormOpenEZB

Is the project or application closing? This is mostly used for controls to close without prompting the user. You can handle this in your code if you have any loops or timers that need to know if the project or application is closing.

Is the application closing?

The current movement panel registered with the project. There can only be one movement panel, so this should be null if there isn't one, or have a reference to it if there is one. If you create a movement panel, you must register it here, and you must set this to null when your control closes.

This is the object that hosts the virtual desktops and all of the controls.

Event raised after a project has completely loaded all skill controls.
If you're control is looking to bind to another control, find the control in this event.
If you attempt to look for a control (i.e. camera) during constructor or SetConfiguration, the other control
may not have loaded from the config yet. This event is raised after all of the controls have been loaded to the workspace

Event raised when a control is added to the workspace. This could be during the project load event, or if a user uses the Add Control menu.
If you're wanting to keep track of new controls added to the workspace, this is how to do it.
However, if you're expecting a control to exist when a project is loaded, look into OnProjectLoadCompleted event.
Look into OnBehaviorControlRemoved as well

There is a button on the Options tab of the main menu ribbon bar for PANIC RELEASE/STOP SERVOS
If that button is pressed, this event is triggered. Your control can respond to it if necessary.
Such as, stop the functions or stop what you're doing. It's a panic stop all type scenario
triggered by the user.

Open the specified project and close the existing project

Send a ControlCommand() to the specified control on any desktop.

Returns a value if the control supports it. The control must have an override for GetValue(string value). If so, you can query the value from a window with this.

Loads the project into the existing project and does not clear the existing project. This means it merely sets up the projects by loading the controls and configuration. If you want to load a project, then use the LoadProject() method.
The filename will be loaded as and parsed into a project.

Does the type of form or control exist? Use this if you're looking to see if a control has already been added to a form. For example, you can check if a typeof(FormCameraDevice) exists.

Becuase only one movement panel can exist on a project at once, this returns if a movement panel has been registered in MovementPanel.

Add a connection control or Show() the connection control that is already on the project.
Only one connection control should exist in a project. Having two connection controls will break-down the universe into a obvlivion

Send a panic/stop/release servos command to all controls that bind to the associated event.
If you call this method, the event will be raised and any controls that bind to the event will
be responsible to stop their execution. This is a panic mode scenario generated by the user.

Sets the background color of the workspace. This won't work if there is already an Image on the workspace. You will need to SetBackgroundImage(null) to see the background color.

Sets the background to an image on the workspace. This overrides the background color with the image.

Arranges the skill controls on current page to optimize available screen space effeciently. You can order large to small or opposite.
If you're calling this while already suspending the layout, you can also override the suspend layout option with the variable.
If you do not ignore the suspend layout yourself, set the variable to false and this method will handle the layout suspension and resume.
You may be handling the suspend layout yourself because you're performing a number of workspace changes, in which case you'd want to ignore the suspend layout.
