1. IDE for Windows

Judith,

I installed your IDE for Windows and ran into a small problem. I tried
to add the win32lib html docs to the help screen dialog and when I click on
save, my XP
based PC goes to 100% CPU usage and when I try to quit the program, it says not
responding.

I was also able to compile your program to C which ended up to be a 8 meg
program.

Thanks again for this outstanding contribution !

Thank you, John.

Were you trying to add the Win32lib help docs to the "Documentation Location" in
Configurations?

If so click the "Find Files" button next to the editbox for win32lib, navigate
to the folder containing Win32lib, open the Docs folder and select index.htm. On
my system the result will look something like this C:\Win32lib\Docs\index.htm

If you were trying to do something else, please give me more information.

Judith,

I was trying to add "Win32LibManual.HTM" to the last input box on the
configuration help tab. I tried adding the index.html in the docs directory and
I'm having the same problem. (compile and interpretive versions)

And you included the path to the htm file?

Which version of IDE are you using? I just tested with v1.0.3a and entered the
path+Win32libManual.htm and saved OK.

Take a look at your ide.cfg file, in IDE's Files folder, with Notepad and search
for "Win32libDocs. You should see something like {"Win32libDocs","path and name
of win32lib docs"}. Do you see that?

If you do then something else is causing the hangup and we can persue that.

Judith,

This seems to have nothing to do with what file I select but a save issue. 

I went into the help file assignment tab and clicked save without touching
anything else and the same problem persists.

1.0.3a is what I downloaded, installed and compiled.

Rename the file ide.cfg in IDE's Files folder. The default, minimal,
configurations file will load when you start IDE. Then attempt to save
configurations again.

Forget my last suggestion. I've found the problem. 

Using Win32lib v0.70.3 with IDE hangs trying to access data from a ListView in
Configurations.

I have been testing Chris's next release which works fine with IDE. I just now
realised we were more than likely using different win32libs.

I'm sorry it took me so long to find the problem. You might contact Chris for a
patch if updating configurations is critical for you.

Judith,

I'm fine till you guys figure out the solution. I was just reporting a problem I
ran into with the IDE.

I'm happy you were able to reproduce the issue.

Indeed, this issue had been already spotted and has a fix:
In win32lib.ew, locate the getLVItemText() function, and in the body of that
function, find the line:
lrc = sendMessage(id, LVM_GETITEM, 0, lvitem)

Right after this line, add:
if w32buffer_address(lvitem,LVITEM_pszText)=#FFFFFFFF then
            lrc=0
        end if

and the text retrieval that was running forever will work right again.
