DIAdem Dialog Editor freeze

[Dani87]

Hi there,

currently we are facing a strange phenomenom with the DIAdem Dialog Editor.

The problem is that the Dialog Editor Window freezes for a few seconds when you scroll around in your code. It happens either using the mouse wheel or the keyboard. The problem is not occuring only on my machine. My colleague has the same problem. It is surely no hardware problem. DIAdem Script does not show this behaviour. It happens only with the Dialog Editor. It might be helpfull to you guys to know that we updated our DIAdem Versions from 2012 to 2017. The updates happened quite clean though. We uninstalled DIAdem 2012 clean before we reinstalled Version 2017.

Here are some details on my setup:

OS: Windows 10 64-Bit

CPU: i7-6820HQ @ 2.7GHz

RAM: 8.00 GB

DIAdem: 17.0.0f6657 (64-Bit)

Dialog Editor: 17.0.0f6657 (64-Bit)

Maybe you guys have an idea what could cause this weird behaviour. It is kinda annoying when you want to write code but you are forced to wait every 1 to 2 minutes for a couple of seconds.

Thanks and kind regards

Hi Daniel,

Does it happen with all the dialog boxes you create or just some specific ones ? Have you tried to create a new one ?

Thanks

Hi Maxime,

the dialog boxes are okay. It is simply the Dialog Editor itself. The Dialog edior just freezes when I edit code.

Kind regards

Thanks! I am just trying to figure out if this happens with all the dialog boxes you try to edit via the script editor. As far as I remember you reach to the script editor double-clicking an element on your dialog box while in edit mode. Am I misunderstanding something here ?

Dear Maxime,

you're correct. The double-click on a button, textbox etc. opens the dialog editor and ads the connected event "click" in this case. In other words the Dialog Editor pops up and the necessary syntax for the element is already added at the end of the editor.

Our "Program" has around 10 Buttons, 6 Textboxes, 3 Listboxes, 3 Checkboxes and 2 Radio Buttons. So if you click on one of them the dialog editor pops up and the page is filled with the code of all these elements. I've attached an image of the GUI. As the programm is quite large (839 lines) i guess it could be some kind of performance problem.

Best regards

Got it !

Does it happen with a new Dialog Box though ? I mean, if you create Dialog Box, adding a few commands and opening the script editor, do you observe the same behavior ?

Thanks 🙂
