Empty DPM screen waiting on a close

1

Hi Vincent

What I create a new project DPM pops up an empty or a ‘.dproj file does not exist’.

Is the showing of this screen required.

I get the both the following screens:

image791×494 5.59 KB

and

image
image780×491 5.43 KB

After these screens are displayed DPM and hence the IDE waits on a click of the Close button.

Tthe project file not existing I should be able to fix, the painting… still trying.

The problem is the IDE plugin runs in the main thread triggered by the tools api, and nothing is pumping the message queue during that time - if I call application.processmessages then I get re-entrance issues. I’ve tried all sorts of hacks, just when I think I have it solved it happens again, randomly.

Are you using the latest release?

For one project I worked on, where I needed a progress bar to a hard to separate operation CC came up with using the raw Windows API, creating its own thread and window with a progress bar and a cancel button with its own event loop.

I did actually try that.. sadly it was unstabled and claude & I wasted a day trying to get it right.

Hi Vincent

I may not be as I am still using the version I downloaded about two weeks back.

I will download the latest and try again.

Hi Vincent

Download the latest version (v0.9.301-beta) - problem still occurs.

I also found that if you close the ide before closing DPM screen the DPM still stays active.

When I close DPM it goes away the re-displays (Visible = false then visible = true) with the following:

I just fixed the issue with the new project showing the dialog - will test the close issue.

New build is up on github. I couldn’t reproduce the shutdown hang.
