Disk Space Graph not working from Girder

[mianpe]

So I have a problem with the disk space graph which is very odd. If I access the "System" option using the keyboard (i.e. the "enter" key), then the disk space graph displays perfectly and everything is hunky dory. However, if I access the "System" option using my remote (which is a streamzap remote, piping commands through girder) then I get a disk space graph that shows zero space and no info. In my PVRX2.exe.log I see the line:

2008-02-20 11:09:42.482 ERROR [1] Unabled to determine disk usage: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8001010E): The application called an interface that was marshalled for a different thread. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8001010E (RPC_E_WRONG_THREAD))

Ah ha! a different thread.... hmmmm... Interesting... any ideas?

I'm wondering if anybody else who uses an external program to send keystrokes or windows messages (i.e. Hip, girder, eventghost) sees the same problem.

Thanks,

If I can recall I had the same problem with girder twice:

WHen I used to make girder send keystrokes do GBPVR it was solved by telling girder to use "alternate keystrokes"

When I was makeing girder send keys by Sendmessage codes it was solved telling girder to use POST Message instead of Send Message.

I don´t have girder installed anymore so I can´t check the exact options, and the things I describe are from Girder 3. But at least that´s a clue.

Thank you, thank you, thank you....

I couldn't figure out a way to get the SendMessage plugin to do POSTs, but for sending keystrokes, selecting the little checkbox that says "Alternative proc." did the trick!

Cheers!
