directory select in vista

[gtoph]

So I just got a new computer that came with Vista x64 and I'm having problems with CVI 8.5.  I've simply copied all the project files from the old XP machine and installed a fresh copy of CVI on the new one (note that I'm also using the private toolslib.c file that was sent to me for other issues a while back).  I don't know if CVI can actually make a 64-bit application, but I'm not trying to anyway..... just happen to be running under vista 64 now.

First, the directory selection popup function is not allowing me to actually choose a directory.  I can navigate fine, but when I click done, nothing happens.  Second, I tried to stop execution and see where things were at, but again, nothing happened; clicking the stop button grayed it out, but CVI did not actually stop execution.

Anyone else out there have issues under Vista x64?

Edit:
Suppose I should have mentioned I tried setting cvi.exe and my compiled exe to run under XP mode with no luck either.

Hi gtoph,

You are correct in your assumption that you cannot create 64-bit applications using LabWindows/CVI 8.5.  LabWindows/CVI 8.5, when run in Vista x64, always runs in 32-bit mode and compiles all applications as 32-bit applications.

I have tested the behavior you mentioned above on a Vista x32 machine and did not encounter any problems, however, this does not mean that the problem does not exist on Vista x64.  I am trying to get ahold of a Vista x64 machine to test this on as well.  I will let you know if I can reproduce this issue on Vista x64 as well.

I had the same thought actually so I just tested it in vista x32 and had the same results.  I'm not sure what's going on exactly. 

Were you also able to break execution and step though your test code?

Edit:
Ok, so I can actually break in, seems I just can't break in when the directory selection popup is up... which I spose makes sense.

Finally had the chance to look into this a little bit more: It looks like the cancel option makes a difference.  If I set allowCancel=1 the done button seems to work, however if I force the user to make a selection (allowCancel=0) then the done button does nothing.

Hi gtoph,

Would it be possible for you to post a simple example that demonstrates this behavior?  I have not been able to reproduce the issue.  With a simple example, I can verify that I am approaching this in the same manner as you.  Hopefully I will then be able to reproduce the problem and then determine what needs to be done in order to find a resolution.

Ok, I made a super simple program and I see the issue with it...


Also, I didn't look to see if the popup has anything to do with the toolbox, but I am using the last toolbox.c file from the thread:

Hi gtoph,

I was able to fully reproduce this error on a 32-bit Windows Vista machine. This was reported to R&D (#107830) for further investigation. R&D is currently investigating this issue. We appreciate your feedback!

[gtoph]

Hi Jonathan,
Is there a way to look up the status of the R&D request that you put in, or could you just give me an update on if they found/fixed the issue yet?

Also, is there a way to send a private message to you NI guys?

Thanks

Hi gtoph,

You can check to see if the bug was fixed in each version CVI by checking the release notes.

To check the status of a bug before a new release, you can call into our support line at 1866-ASK-MYNI and ask one of our representatives for the status of the Corrective Action Request (CAR) by the CAR ID#.

I tried calling some time ago, and they had no idea what I was referring to.  I basically let it go as I had other things to work on, but I now I'm running into it again.  Have your developers had a chance to look at this yet?  Could they possibly send me a patch? 

Thanks
