PB 6.0 timer and clicked event of dw causes crash
I have an application at work (PB 6.0, PFC 6.0, NT 3.51)
that extensively uses the PB 6.0 timer in the
home screen. We call the timer every 1 second to check a loop to see if
a
socket service is available (every 30 seconds) and if not resort back to
polling our database instead. As a result there is a lot of overhead
associated with the timer event.
When we do sucessive clicks the clicked event gets called
over and over again but then gets pre-empted by the timer event calls.
Intermittantly this causes a stack fault in the PB60.exe module and
always
in the same address.
Our application by my own admission is pretty complex so we decided to
try a
test case. We used the pfc Quick start application and simply put a for
I =1 to 30 next loop in the timer event. Then by repeatedly clicking in
an editable
datawindow we were able to cause the application to crash eventually.
This never occured in PB 5.0 with PFC 5.0.
Here is a very easy way to recreate the problem (takes 2-3 minutes).
I am able to replicate this issue using the QCKSTART.PBL that comes
with the PB 6.0 as a sample
application. If you would like to relicate as well, go the PBL and make
the following changes to w_qcksheet:
1) Declare instance var w_frame iw_frame
2) Add this the open event at the end of the script
iw_frame = parentwindow()
timer(1, This)
3) Add this code to the timer event
integer i
For i = 1 to 30
iw_frame.SetMicroHelp(String(i))
Next
As long as the timer is doing something, the application is likely to
blow up. The more the timer event tries to
do the more likely it is that the application will blow up sooner. Let
me know if you validate this as a PB 6.0
error. From my angle this is a pretty substantial bug.

We have an even easier example of this. Open the w_fish example and place a datawindow on it (we used d_items). Run the window and double click in the datawindow. It will fail almost immediately. CHange the window type from 'child (i think it is now) to a response and you can;t get it to fail. This problem was discovered in 3 apps we have which use timer events. PB has been called but the "don't have a clue". Great tch support. Appears to be timer and datawindow and window type specific...

Hi All PB 10.0.1, MSSQLServer 2000 We've got a field (defined as Char) that takes standard input... included in this is the odd carriage return (though we've got triggers preventing saving of said bad character)..

PB 7.0 or PB 6.5 or PB 6.0 or PB5.04
We are using PB 5.04 Enterprise at this moment and are almost happy (uch) with it. Because we don't programming applications for the Internet (maybe in the near future) we haven't upgraded to version 6.0 and 6.5. Now we are confused what to do, keeping the old and 'stable' version (5.04) or upgrading to a newer version. Are there features in the newer versions wich make it a 'must' to upgrade. What are this features. Or are there reasons to stay on 5.04 (buggy newer versions?). What is doing the rest of the Powerbuilder world??? Greetings, Hans Groeneveld ...
ActiveX Control causes PB 6.0 to crash
