RE: MI-L Mapbasic code won't execute unless MI has focus

[Peter Horsb�ll M�ller]

Hi David,

This is caused by the fact that MapInfo needs to be in focus before a Processbar can 
process.

So try to do this:

        Print "Stops at next line unless front window!"
        Set Progressbars Off
        Commit Table Vessels    
        Set Progressbars On
        Print "Commit Table Vessels doesn't execute unless front window!"

Subject: MI-L Mapbasic code won't execute unless MI has focus


I have a strange one here!

Running MI 4.5 under Windows XP home (but same problem occurs on another PC 
running Win98SE).

I have some code in the RemoteMsgHandler subroutine:

        Print "Stops at next line unless front window!"
        Commit Table Vessels    
        Print "Commit Table Vessels doesn't execute unless front window!"

If I run the MBX it so MI is not the front window (by having Calculator on top so I 
can still 
see the MI message window), and some remote data comes in, the first Print line 
executes, but the 2nd print line doesn't, so it is getting stuck on the "Commit Table 
Vessels" line.
The MapInfo icon in the task bar flashes orange but that is all that happens. As soon 
as 
I click on the flashing icon to bring MI to the front, the code continues to execute - 
the 
table is committed & the 2nd print statement executes.

Anyone know what is causing this "hanging"?

I also tried

        Print "Stops at next line unless front window!"
        Set Event Processing Off
        Commit Table Vessels    
        Print "Commit Table Vessels doesn't execute unless front window!"

just in case it was one of my other event handlers screwing things up, but same 
symptoms.

Dave
