to be more specific...

shawn and kent.

you probably both have ie6.
can you check that the current build works with it?

then I can make it to work ie over 5 without winhttp.

if it's not working properly with 6 I'll leave out the xml code and use the winhttp version instead...

kent,
I have placed the current build which should not have that problem in to the beta folder.

could you check that and report if errors do occur?

new build which hopefully finally stop script from hanging.

some times the slider still shows up even though the checker is the active window as the focus code is my own implementation.

I can't get much better with this.
and I'm already one week late from my previous deadline.
good changes are though that first release canditate is coming up this week.

Jooel, dont think that the alpha build will help much in this case - im simply re-organizing and porting code from 1 to TNG right now - Build 21 is going to be a re-engineered FORMS packaged as a DLL (with some additional functionality) ... the re-engineering will help when porting over to ActiveX server (.exe) - plus. The event-ing for .exe is going to take much more work - so probably wont see exe for next few builds.

Having said that, Build 21 will be drastically different than Build 20 (internally) but I'm doing my best to make it 100% portable with Build 20. I'm using my scripts, your script, and Bryce's script for all of my testing. The big thing with Build 21 is that it will be faster, smaller and will support Windows 9x. But like I said before, its the staging version for migrating over to ActiveX server, which imho, will provide a major break-through with these GUI's - refreshing and painting will no longer be an issue. But its a couple builds away.

We'll have to walk through the hang problem together. Is the GUI not responding (ie, the hourglass) or is the HTML thing hanging ?

hanger is the gui.
new pages get downloaded and even the slider pops up and goes away... peep is given and so on.
just the main form is not responding after some posts...

I actually think I got something here...
I don't hide it just reduce the height to 1 and it keeps responding.

going home now but will leave it in the background.

but, what you are speaking about 20 and 21?

you mean 22? as I have 1.0.0.21 here...

putting newist silent build online (the one which is running on my system fine currently) and tomorrow we will see more about the hanger...

oops, my bad, build 22 vs 21

Does it stop responding like as in if you click a button, nothing happens (no eventing) or as in - the form is disabled and I can't physically push the button down - its disabled too.

hee...
the form stops responding not events...

I can't get any response from it neither it can be minimized or if it was minimized at the first place, it can't be returned to normal.

this all was done with the code which did set show to 0 or visible 0 on the main form.

the code which is running now and which didn't hang during the time I watched does set the height value and leaves the form "visible"

Thats a good thing (i think), based on what you describe, sounds like we should be able to fix this. Where (when) do you hide the mainform, before the slider is created, or after ?

do youo mean you have not got that version?

just kidding.

the hiding was done on the main loop and if new post arrives:
if $form.windowstate=2 $form.visible=0 slide() $form.visible=1

i did try also with putting $form.doevents all over the line but didn't change the behaviour.

Just trying to isolate and maybe re-create the problem with this script. Im sure that some combination of show,hide,visible,show(n) will repro the problem (prob something to do with show(n), as that was last thing added.

code:
break on

$form = createobject("kixtart.form")
$form.caption = mainform
$form.fontname = verdana
$form.fontsize = 12

$button = $form.commandbutton("popup")
$button.center
$button.onclick = "pop"

$form.center
$form.show
while $form.visible
$=execute($form.doevents)
loop

exit 1

function pop

dim $popup

$popup = createobject("kixtart.form")

$popup.caption = popup
$popup.witdh = 200
$popup.height = 200
$popup.center

; $form.show(0)
$form.visible = 0

$popup.show(1)

while $popup.visible
$=execute($popup.doevents)
loop

$form.visible = 1

endfunction

Trying to replicate more like YOUR script does (runs in the background) ... have a theory that maybe "other windows" are "interfering" with show/hide and enablement. This script runs by itself:

just as a test, might want to try running BBChecker all by itself (no apps or windows open) ... does it still hang ?

code:
break on

$form = createobject("kixtart.form")
$form.caption = mainform
$form.fontname = verdana
$form.fontsize = 12

$button = $form.commandbutton("just a button")
$button.center

$form.center
$form.show

$DELAY = 4000 ; msecs
$timer = @TICKS+$delay

while $form.visible

$=execute($form.doevents(1))

if @TICKS > $timer
$form.hide
pop()
$form.show
$timer = @TICKS+$delay
endif

sleep(0.01)

loop

exit 1

function pop

dim $popup,$timer

$popup = createobject("kixtart.form")

$popup.caption = popup
$popup.witdh = 200
$popup.height = 200

$popup.center
$popup.show

$timer = @TICKS+$delay

while $popup.visible

$=execute($popup.doevents(1))

if @TICKS > $timer
$popup.hide
endif

sleep(0.01)

loop

endfunction

mmm...
so what we should use?
and actually my code used visible=0

should I just release the form without hiding or should I wait for your fix?

about testing, I'm continuing with it tomorrow at work.
I left my laptop there to keep it running whole night...
it still has this show(0) code and if it does hang you are correct...

btw, I said about it before even to ruud but say again...

clear version numbering is key for not letting ppl confused.
you have enabled the build number in the version but keeping the version 1.0.0 is it goodie?
this is not big deal but having same version number with the build 5 is little confusing.

Im going to fix the show(0) thingy tonight. Guess the problem is that there are now too many ways to show/hide a form - will funnel all requests into a single channel for consistency sake. Then we'll see if that fixes things.

I just stuck with a simple build or release number, some versioning schemes go too far overboard, way too complicated and too much information, ex 1.3.1_01rev4 SP2 etc etc .. [Wink]

Maybe we should just call it forms 1.21, and the next release will be 2.0 ?
