Images of buttons disappear

[ORibeiro]

The images of my buttons disappear after a time of use of the system. What can it be? I'm using 11:12 FWH + xHarbour 1.2.1.

Thank you,

[Antonio Linares]

Oscar,

Thats a known problem when your app runs out of resources memory, usually due to a wrong use of them.
FiveWin provides two functions to detect what resources are leaking in our applications.

Please call this function at the beginning of your app:

SetResDebug( .T. )

and just before you exit your app do:

FErase( "checkres.txt" )
CheckRes()
WinExec( "notepad checkres.txt" )

You will get a detailed list of resources that are nor properly freed and that are leaking. Next is to located each one and use them in the right way.

In example, if you create a font, later you have to End() it. Same applies for bitmaps, fonts, cursors, icons, etc. all GDI objects that we use on our applications

[ORibeiro]

Thank you.
Will do it.

Linares,

In this text generated by my system, all these objects were not closed?
If it was closed with: End () it does not appear on that list?

Thank you,

[Antonio Linares]

Oscar,

yes, if you properly end them using oBmp:End() then they will not appear on the list. This is called GDI memory leaking and it is what finally breaks the app painting and make it crash.

Anyhow, if you don't clean them, FiveWin will do it for you, but that does not solve the GDI memory leaking, so you should review one by one and check where the leak comes from.

Sometimes, those leaks come from FiveWin itself, and it is something that we fix as soon as it gets detected or as soon as possible (on difficult cases), so it is very advisable to use an updated FWH version.

Got Linares,

Thank you for your patience in explaining to me that matter.

Versions that you launched this year, which is the most stable? Is that my system is very large and I have no condition to test all its functions, hence, when I switch version and the problem appears on the client is not good for my image. I am using the FWH12.11 version + xHarbour 1.2.1.

Thank you.

[Antonio Linares]

Oscar,

Today we have published FWH 13.08 which in our tests it is very very stable

You can order the upgrade from www.fivetechsoft.com thanks!

[ORibeiro]

Ok I will update it here in Brazil with the Virtual Object where I bought Fiverwin.
Thanks,
