display panel in debug mode problem

[Rafi2003]

Hi,

Is there any known issue about displaying a panel while in debug mode?

When CVI reaches the line...

    errChk(Status = DisplayPanel (panel)); 

it get locked.  I can't even break the execution.  The only thing I can do is Terminate it (from the tscvirun.

Any suggestions?

CVI 8.0.1

Hi Rafi,

DisplayPanel should work fine in debug and release mode. Can you reproduce the problem in a new, blank project where main looks something like:

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int error = 0;
   
    /* initialize and load resources */
    nullChk (InitCVIRTE (0, argv, 0));
    errChk (panelHandle = LoadPanel (0, "your.uir", PANEL));
 
    /* display the panel and run the user interface */
    errChk (DisplayPanel (panelHandle));
    errChk (RunUserInterface ());

Error:
    /* clean up */
    DiscardPanel (panelHandle);
    return 0;
}

Hi James,

I forgot to mention that I use it from TestStand (3.5).  So, first I set the CVI debug mode in TestStand, then, CVI opens another instance of CVI and run the code.  This is where the program get stuck upon displayPanel command.

Thanks

Hi Rafi,

Are you running your code from a DLL? If so, you have to call LoadPanelEx with __CVIUserHInst for the last parameter. I've attached an example program that builds a DLL and DisplayPanel does not hang. Open test.seq and see if it hangs on your computer. If not, could you strip down your program and attach it here so I can reproduce the behavior?
