Error in System menu

[Paul Gordash]

Version 0.96.12

When I select SYSTEM from the main menu, I sometimes get a dialog with:

title -> Setup Error
Failed to load from resource file.
Please check your setp.

I searched the forums and found that this was happening with the DVB guide. It was chalked up to a stack overflow. Someome also was having the same problem in the release thread as well.

Here are the last entries in he log file:

Some more info:

If I select the SYSTEM option wth the enter key on the keyboard, all is well.

If I select the SYSTEM option by sending the GBPVR window an ENTER key through girder, the error pops up. I use girder to send all my remote keys to GBPVR and this is the first time I have had an issue. The same metod is used to select all other menu items and does not exhibit this behaviour.

I'd be willing to run some debug code to to track it dwn if necessary.

Thanks,
Paul

It sound like Girder is doing something weird. It should be sending keystrokes messages that look exactly the same as when you press the ENTER key.

You could try downloading Winspector from http://www.windows-spy.com/download/ and tell me exactly which messages Girder tries to send to GB-PVR when you fake this ENTER key.

[Paul Gordash]

I installed Winspector Spy. I tried using girder to send GBPVR a return key and it looks like it sends a regular WM_KEYDOWN with the VK_RETURN parameter. Crash. Nothing odd there so I decided to investigate girder further. I notice that there was a checkbox labeled "Alternative Proc" in the keyboard section of the command. I checked it on and tried it. Eureka! No more crash. I looked at the Spy log and it still was just a regular WM_KEYDOWN. I did not look at any of the other windows mesages around the WM_KEYDOWN, just seemed like too much work. At least this solves the problem.

Thanks Sub,
Paul

Have the same problem with SendMessage(GBPVRWindow,WM_GBPVR_CONTROL,229,0) .

I have the exact same problem. When I use the remote to select system I get the exact same error. If I use the mouse or keyboard everything is fine. I do not use Girder.

Does anyone have a fix for this problem?

Have the same problem with SendMessage(GBPVRWindow,WM_GBPVR_CONTROL,229,0)

I'm also having this problem when trying to access the System screen using Girder and Sendmessage. I have an MX500 remote with the center button on the navigation pad set to act as the enter key using Sendmessage command 229. This button works on all the other selections.

Here is the log entry from right before gbpvr crashes :

You can try this

It should work with girder - I've had no problems since using this method to direct keystrokes.

Thanks Ambro. Using Postmessage instead of Sendmessage for the enter key lets me access the system menu. It still seems unusual that the system button does not work with sendmessage but all the other buttons do.
