XControl in Linux

[wiebe@CARYA]

Well, if I hide the panel, instead of closing it (hide it with the FP.Open(Hidded) method, not with the Panel.Open(FALSE) property), it doesn't crash. This had some consecuences for my application, because I check if the front panel is open, and if it is, I don't open it again. But if you hide the panel, it is still open (go figure). So with one minor adjustment (I put the panel opening stuff in a sub vi, so I only had to change it one), I can now use XControls...

I still think it needs to be fixed.

Regads,

Wiebe.

Wiebe, I ran both your executable and the example that Tunde provided. 

In Tunde's example I do the following:

1.  Open the exe.
2.  Click on the run arrow in "Call Dynamic VI (Run Dual Thermo)" which pops up "Run Dual Mode Thermo XControl".
3.  I click on the STOP control button in the bottom right of the control panel.  Not to be confused with the Abort button next to the run arrow (I do get an error if I click on the abort button, which is expected).

I am running this in 8.2.1, and I had another NI employee run it on their machine which still has 8.2. 

When you say that it crashes, what behavior are you seeing?  Does LabVIEW close abruptly, or do you get a specific error message?  If there is a specific error message, what does it say?

Under Linux, the application simply disappears.


Under Windows (and WinXPEmbedded), I always get a "Send Report" dialog (I already send a few of them). Then the applocation disapears.


I run Tunde's exe on two WinXP PC's, they both crashed. I compiled my application on two PC's, on one PC under Windows and Linux. All three applications crashed.


In short, all applications I've started or recompiled and started on several machines and OS's, do crash with both Tunde's or my own application. Perhaps I'm clicking to hard?

Wiebe,

Is there any more info about these error reports that you sent to us that would allow me to look them up?

[Wiebe@CARYA]

Trey,


What information would you need? In development mode, I can store the report. But don't think an exe allows me to do that. I could send a few of them, and then let you know at which time I've send them. Would that be convenient?


Regards,


Wiebe.

When you wrote this line, I had the impression that it was crashing in development:

"Under Windows (and WinXPEmbedded), I always get a "Send Report" dialog (I already send a few of them). Then the applocation disapears."



The reports are stored on your HDD located at:

"By default, this directory is located at C:\Documents and Settings\(User Name)\Local Settings\Temp (Windows 2000 and Windows XP)"

There's no guarantees, but having the log file may help determine the problem.  In order for this problem to exist on both your Linux and XP boxes, something universally consistent is going on.
