I have seen this before, although in my merged version (2.5-2.7)
it has never shown up so it might be from a bug somewhere inside
Galaxy 2.6 or 2.7 that I took out during the course of that work.

I have never been able to find the cause, but I can explain the problem
and how to fix it (from tracking it down with clients using 2.7).

The problem is that Galaxy is validating the underlying HWND when it
destroys the window to make sure everything is intact and correct. It
calls IsWindow which fails for some reason. I dont know why, but this
is only during program exit and not when normal windows close.

The way I've fixed this is to add additional global state -- a global
variable (initialized to true) that says whether or not to do the IsWindow
check. Clear this variable in _vwindowDisconnect, which is the shutdown
routine where it iterates over the remaining vwindows. This avoids the
check so the exception wont get thrown.

You can remove the check entirely (which would be "safer"), but since the
problem only appears in shutdown, I did it that way to preserve as much
of the existing behavior without including the problem lurking somewhere.
I hate being overly optimistic and the check is only in DEBUG so you wont
be shipping apps with it anyway.

There is a second check that crashes sometimes too. I dont remember it
offhand
but it has to do with popup windows. Perhaps it was the _vwindowMSWPopupWnd
check (in _vwindowDisconnect) that throws ReturnNull. If this were the case,
I'd remove the check for DestroyWindow failing. I dont know what causes this
either. Again, this is only in particular versions of Galaxy so it might be
due to an internal bug somewhere.

Our experience using MSVC++ 5.0 and 6.0

Our 5.0 Experience:

We are using galaxy 2.6 (purchased) and galaxy 2.7 (built from gal2_6_2 msa)
on a NT 4.0 (SP4) platform MSVC++ 5.0 (SP3). Galaxy libraries were built
as a static release.

When running any galaxy app produced by MSVC++ 5.0 we get the following
error message in a galaxy debug window when the application exits:

An error has occurred.  The following chain of information is available:
     error 1: /Return/Null/
         errno: 22: Invalid argument

This seems to come from inside vwindow::_vwindowUnmakeInfo()
function, but it is not the same bug discussed by David Charlap
and Russ Browne.

In the GUM and GUG archives I've read that patches 197-2.6C,
P156, P234-26c, 260, P234, patch238, patch244, 253, and others
may fix the problem, but how does one get these patches?

Question: Will building from gal2_6_2ptxx help us? I tried this
and got many pages of unresolved symbols when linking.

Our 6.0 Experience:

When we try to link a MSVC++ 6.0 application with galaxy 2.6 libraries
produced using MSVC++ 5.0, we get about 50 unresolved symbols. I can't
remember what they were offhand, we are currently configured for VC++
5.0.

I have an application that gets an access violation in
a certain set of circumstances.  On Windows NT, I close
a window using the "X" in the upper right corner, and the
program crashes.  If I use the File/Close menu item, the
program doesn't crash.   The crash occurs in the Galaxy
DLL vgal8d at location 670d38e8, here's the trace back:

VGAL8D! 670d38e8()
USER32! 77e71268()

The crash occurs after my close hook routine has returned.
The processing that occurs in the close hook and in the
menu handler is the same.

The crash is induced by using a dialogItem's menu (i.e.,
right clicking on the item), and then left clicking somewhere
else to make the menu go away (not near the menu).  The
time bomb is thus set, so that when the window is closed,
the crash occurs.

What's different here?

This is Galaxy Global 3.0 for NT with MSVC++

Thanks for any help.

We have (almost done) an object with tree control functionality based on
vlistview, but looks like Outlook Shortcuts control. The cell content
(icons/text) changes based on cell state and various flags. I believe it
should be easy to just subclass listview and make your own cell object. Then
override DrawCellContent (& HandleButtonUp ..) method and place approriate
image or text.

Our object would not be useful to you as is because is very specific to our
application and inter-mingles with lots of other objects. But I can send you
the relevent portions if it helps?

I have a listview containing icons (similar to Outlook Shortcuts) and I
change the content of the right click pop-up menu based on the index (or
cell content). You must subclass the listview in order to do this:

1) Make a default menu and add it to the list (SetMenu())
2) Over-write HandleButtonUp of vlistview, get pop-up menu and modify it as
per cell selection (GetSelection).

Hello

thanks for any pointers.

Hmmm,

I didn't look into this but isn't there a popup menu attriubte
you can associate with the listview?  I vaguely remember looking
into this at some point.. maybe if you just assign a pop up menu
to the vlistview it will automagically popup with a right mouse
button click.

/Andrew

Hi,

I'm trying to make a listview respond to Rt mouse button click, in
vlistviewSelectNotifyProc.  It seems that HANDLE_BUTTON_DOWN of Rt button
never gets passed into vlistview's process.  There are only
vlistviewGetLastButtonCount, LastPointerPosition.

What I need to do is to have a popup menu in a vlistview corresponding to
a selected row.

Thanks,

Windows 2000 has "side by side " dll compatibility.
You can use your own dlls if you stick them in your
application bin directory. You also have to create a file (in the bin directory)
named
"myapplication.exe.local" which is 0 bytes in length.
Might help things.

cheers
Mike

	 Our product runs fine with office 2000 installed.  It's just vrb (vre of
version 3.0 of Galaxy) just refuses to run.  I narrowed down the certain
dll's that when changed causes VRB to blow chunks but these DLLS are pretty
integral to windows that you can't simply replace them :(.  Also I really
don't know if it is due to a change inside these DLLs or a combination of
new dlls.  At any rate I gave up.  Right now I'm just doing all my VRB

like too much of a chore.  We haven't gotten around to testing on a Windows
2K version yet but I suspect VRB will not work on that OS.

Hello Again:

I have a vdialog subclass that contains a mainview object and a container
object. The container has a few dialogItems and mainview has a few child
dialogs. Usually I can use TAB key to access various dialogItems within
containers and CTRL-TAB to jump from container to container. However, once I
use CTRL-TAB to enter mainview, I can not return the keboard focus back to
the container (I must use the mouse). CTRL-TAB just changes the focus from
one child dialog to another.

How can I return keyboard focus back to the container?
Thanx. in advance.

Hello Gummers:

I recall Robbert de Groot had some problems with Office 2000 and Galacy (C
/3.0).

I would not want to use it in our new products if Galaxy conflicts with
Office/Win 2000. I got a hold of a system with Windows 2000 & Office 2000
and tested one of my Galaxy (C++/2.6-2.7) application that was compiled with
VC++ 5.0. It all seems to work ok. This app. does not use the vcomm or DAS,
purely user interface and remote control stuff. I plan on using this system
for Galaxy development so that I can see any problems. I will test one of
our appl. with vcomm (no DAS, too slow) and see if also works.

Has anyone else done any test on Galaxy(C++,2.7)/Win2000/Office2000 ? Thanx.

I don't know why specifically, but here is my guess about what's happening,
based on my experience with other stupid bits of Windows architecture, like
DDE.  I would imagine that when the paste occurs, the other app is probably
blocked, waiting to finish processing some event before it returns to the
event loop.  When your Process() tries to get events, it can't until the
other app returns, so it also blocks.  The reason it doesn't happen with
internal paste is that it uses a different mechanism, which skips a lot of
the synchronization that occurs in a between-apps paste and just makes
direct calls within the app.

Since you don't actually need a response to the notice before returning
from the receive proc (unless I'm mistaken), I'd suggest posting an event
when the error occurs, and then displaying the notice in the event handler
(from the main event loop.)

	 -- Jim

We are using the global clipboard to cut and paste text.  The paste
command we have setup on our object sets the clipboard receive proc.  In
the receive proc we test for errors and if we can't handle the paste a
message is displayed in a vnotice.  We display the vnotice using the
ProcessStart, ProcessGet, ProcessStop calls.

Everything is fine when we copy and paste from within our app, even in
the error case.  If you copy text from a different app, and paste into
our app it works fine, UNLESS there is an error.  In that case we hit a
problem when we try to display the vnotice.  It looks like we've hit a
loop of some kind at the ProcessGet time.

Does anyone know why calling the Process() calls from within the
clipboard receive proc would be a problem?  The manual states that when
text is received from another app, a "transaction" must occur with the
other app (doc on ReceiveRequestedContents).  Is there some interaction
problem there?  I've looked at the Galaxy source code, but didn't really
find anything that would clue me in.

Attached is some code that might help. Call vimageCalculateTransparency()
with the image you've got and it should return a transparency. It assumes
that the bottom right pixel of your input image is the colour that should be
transparent. This is a hairy assumption, I know, but it works OK for us. You
may need to hack it a little to get it to do what you require.

HTH.

Hi,

I create a image with tranparency programmatically.  My image is a simple
one:

   image = vwindowCreateBufferImage(r->w, r->h);
   vdrawImageDevice(image);
   vdrawSetColor(WHITE_color);
   vdrawRectFill(0,0,r->w,r->h);
   vdrawMoveTo(x_offset, y_offset);
   vdrawAShow(0,0, title);

The transparency is created using the same drawing calls but on a mask
device:

   transparency = vwindowCreateSpecific(r->w, r->h, 2);
   vdrawMaskDevice(image);
   vdrawSetFunction(vdrawFUNC_CLEAR);
   vdrawRectFill(0,0,r->w,r->h);
   vdrawSetFunction(vdrawFUNC_SET);
   vdrawMoveTo(x_offset, y_offset);
   vdrawAShow(0,0, title);

Then, vimageSetTransparencyOwned(image, transparency).

I wonder that the image already exists, could I convert it to a
transparency image?  I tried vdrawImageIdent(image) (on a mask device) in
creating the transparency but the app crashed.


Thank you,
--bordin

Undecided. My plan is to do as close to zero work as
possible (I am not a Gen-X Slacker, but the lifestyle
certainly is appealing :-).

We have extra per-user info on the web pages. Does
anyone find this useful? Yeah, I could look at the
server logs, but see above.
