Libs : dashed splitterbar (PB4.20b1)

DoubleDutch · Post by **DoubleDutch** » Sun Sep 23, 2007 3:25 pm

can you post an example

It wasn't your library's fault. It was the toolbar lib in PBOSL that was causing the problem.

Any news on a threadsafe version?

I've just tested the gadget on WindowsMe and it appears not to work properly. You can move the splitter, but when you let go, it flies to one side or the other. It doesn't stay in the place you leave it at.

This happens with the code that you posted in the first message in this thread. I've tried 2 WinMe machines and VirtualPC running windows Me.

Can anyone else verify this?

I uploaded a threadsafe version

Thanks.

Are you sure you included a threadsafe version? When threadsafe is enabled you get a polink error on compile...

Only 1 library file is in the download zip.

Is there some kind of hardcoded gadget limit of "50"? If I exceed about 50 gadgets while using the library I get very strange memory errors.

Any ideas?

I noticed a crash if the gadgetID already existed or if gadgetId equals #pb_any...

I'll take a look.

The gadget doesn't work on 95 and may have problems on pre-xp machines because of bugs in "GetAncestor" that were fixed in XP and above.

The code below shold be an example of how to fix the problem if all you wanted to do with GetAncestor is find the root.

Code: Select all

; instead of:    anchWnd = GetAncestor_(hwnd, 2)

; use:

anchWnd=hwnd
tempAnchWnd=GetParent_(hwnd)
While Not tempAnchWnd
	anchWnd=tempAnchWnd
	tempAnchWnd = GetParent_(tempAnchWnd)
Wend

Hope this helps

download last version

- add fix for win95 (@DoubleDutch)
- included two versions : for THREADSAFE mode and NORMAL mode ( I don't know how to switch between lib)

Thanks

But I think this error still exists:

Any ideas?

I found a bug in threadsafe mode

DoubleDutch · Post by **DoubleDutch** » Tue Jan 08, 2008 11:12 pm

The error that happens at the 50 gadget point was on the non-thread safe version.

It works for me.

Did you use #pb_any ?

DoubleDutch · Post by **DoubleDutch** » Wed Jan 09, 2008 1:00 am

I don't use PB_Any, but I do use EasyVent.

It doesn't seem to go wrong when I don't use EasyVent, but when I do I get memory exception errors.

I'll try get a small example "not working" for you.
