Re: troubles deploying software

I dont think its because the gui thread is stalling..

there are basically two parts to my app.

the backend application essentially acts as a gateway for clients to access
the CAN bus. The backend is multithreaded, the gui has its own thread,
there's a thread that maintains the CAN bus connection , and there's a
thread for each client that connects. when a packet comes in, the CAN
maintaining thread sends the packets to each client thread, the client
threads then filters the packet and sends the packet to the client app via
WM_COPYDATA.

You are right, my remotesend client is a single thread, but the messages
being sent to the client are filtered and, in this case, is not that much.

I even tried running the remote sendclient without the backend on, (which
means there is no connection to the bus) and I still could not type in the
Cedit box. Mind you I can still press buttons, even open the Combobox.

I did overwrite the Cedit box and overridden the ON KEY function so that I
could get command history functionality:
sorry for the formatting, it got messed up on the copy/paste

void CCustEdit::OnKeyDown(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{
switch(nChar)
{
case VK_UP:
if(m_historyVect.size()){
if(++m_cmdCount == m_historyVect.size())
{
m_cmdCount = m_historyVect.size()-1;
}
SetWindowTextW(m_historyVect[m_historyVect.size()-1-m_cmdCount]);
}
return;
case VK_DOWN:
if(m_historyVect.size()){
if(--m_cmdCount < 0)
{
m_cmdCount = 0;
return;
}
SetWindowTextW(m_historyVect[m_historyVect.size()-1-m_cmdCount]);
}
return;
case VK_RETURN:
{
CString string;
if(GetWindowTextLengthW())
if(m_cmdCount == -1){
GetWindowTextW(string);
m_historyVect.push_back(string);
}
else{
string = m_historyVect[m_historyVect.size()-1-m_cmdCount];
m_historyVect.erase(m_historyVect.begin() +
m_historyVect.size()-1-m_cmdCount);
m_historyVect.push_back(string);
}
m_cmdCount = -1;
//contstruct Protocol Packet and send message to frontEnd
::SendMessage(m_dlgHandle
,UWM_SENDCOMMAND
,(WPARAM)0
,0);
}
return;
default:
m_cmdCount = -1;
CEdit::OnKeyDown(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
}
}

I dont see how this would only work on my PC though.

Let me know if any of you guys need more information.

Thanks,

Nick
