Hi everyone,
I just got the T5 simulator and tested an app on it, and everything
seems good except when I call FrmCustomAlert() and the screen is
in extended-portrait mode (i.e. graffiti area is not visible).
What happens is this: the dialog comes up, and then the graffiti
area swooshes up to meet it. Then the graffiti area disappears
again, and the stuff that was behind it (my main form) is redrawn.
Then the graffiti area swooshes up again, and the process repeats
until you soft reset. (And this happens on the real device too,
not just on the simulator.)
The weird thing is, all I'm doing is basically
FrmCustomAlert (MyAlert, "blah blah", "", "");
I was under the impression the thread of execution doesn't even
return to my program until the user taps the "OK" button, but the
infinite loop happens while the alert is still up (before the
button is tapped). So, it seems like my code can't be causing it
(unless there is some notification I'm responding to improperly?).
For what it's worth, if you're curious whether I'm using the
CollapseUtils library, the answer is that the same problem occurs
both with and without it: the current version of the app has
the problem and uses CollapseUtils, and an older version also
has the problem even though it doens't use CollapseUtils and
instead calls the PIN API directly.
So, has anyone run into anything like this?
