WizTools - 1.x Plugin Development Toolkit

[pastro]

I'll try to write a snippet that fails in order to determine if it's WizTools that is failing, or something new in 1.2.13.

I think it is a caching issue with the images. I've had trouble with this in the past and what I had did work but it fails now without the @fake.
Ideally I would think there would be a way to always force the getimage callback under program control.

I can't seem to come up with any code that fails.

I did take another look at the code around the manual refresh method and made a few changes. I also put some output messages in the routine that calculates the hashkey for the image, we should be able to see what the keys are now.

Could you try again without your @fake code and see if it helps?

Thanks..

No change but here is the log.
I cleared the log and there would have been probably two that would have worked and the last one didn't update the display. The ones that worked were the ones that the args changed on.

Ok, tried a different approach on this one related to identifying when an object has changed, and how the forceRefresh logic works. Can you give it a try again...

Thanks.

No change. It sort of makes sense to not load the image if none of the args change but at the same time there should be some method to allow the programmer to force an image reload.

I'm ok with using the @fake workaround if you would rather spend your time on other things or I'm perfectly ok with trying any fixes you come up if you want.

I've tried to build in logic similar to your @fake. Could you post your logs?

If I install your code, is the condition easy to create? If I could recreate the situation where the render fails, I could probably find a fix.

Actually the last version got it working. I had copied the DLL to my dev directory where I compile but not to the common dir in plugins. I know I copy out the dll before I run, so I'll have to look if that is going to the wrong spot.
Anyway, it's working great. Thanks for putting in time in this. Sorry for the confusion.

Excellent. Glad that got it working. Did you have to call the forceRefresh(), or did the normal logic handle it?

Still needs the .forceRefresh().

My turn for some oddness!

I'm finding that, when changing the .Visible property of a label (presently from 'true' to 'false'), that the label is not actually being removed until some other UI event happens.

That is, a label starts of visible. I then set .Visible = false in code. Label remains visible on the screen.

But! If I move the focus, either within the button list, OR within the list view, OR between the button list and the list view, the label will vanish. Alternately, if the text property of some other label (in my case, the current time) changes, the label will vanish then too.

As a workaround, I can just set the text property to String.Empty and the DrawImage to an empty bitmap, so it isn't a really big deal. But thought I'd throw it out there anyway!
