Memory Use Increases with HidePanel Function

[Ambient2002]

The memory useage increases by a factor of three simply by hiding the main panel.

You can download the program here to test it:

In the toolbar is an icon with the temperature - click on it once to hide the program.

When hiding the main menu panel, should the daughter panels be hidden first to avoid this problem?

Cool application. What version of CVI are you using? I think this was fix somewhere around version 6.

Hello Ambient2002,

This issue has been addressed and fixed in the latest version of CVI 7.1. It seems like the issue occurred with the older operating systems (95/98/Me). I would suggest updating your operating system or using NT/2000 if upgrading CVI is not possible. If none of these choices are acceptable, I would suggest trying this workaround which has worked for some customers: "the resources are leaked in the call to HidePanel. This can be avoided by calling ProcessSystemEvents before the call to HidePanel takes place, or activating a second panel before hiding the original panel."


Thanks!
