Beta Demo Ini file Editor...

[specci48]

Hi Cableguy,

I haven't really started to test you ini-editor yet but I came across this funny behaviour on the optimized executible (INI4PPC-opti.exe):
If I change to the german language I have to click the OK button on the about panel for 4 times to close it. If I change to the english language I have to click the OK button for 2 times. After changing to the french language I have to click 16 times. Changing to the italian language I'll have to click 8 times. Have you tried to program 2^n or something like that..

And if I change the language for a few times without closing the application, the app gets very very slow... until I only could exit the program with a soft reset.

The executible without optimization (INI4PPC.exe) works as expected!

That is<why I compiled it in both optimized and not optimized...
The NOT optimized exe, although a lot bigger in size, is much faster AND RELIABLE.I have noticed this behavior with others basic4ppc opti-compiled apps...
The code is exactly the same, just recomplied in two ways...

This looks like a serious problem. The behaviour of the optimised compiled app is appalling! Part of the problem may be that you are calling AddEvent in your Sub SetControls which is called both in AppStart and in SetLanguage which is itself called in AppStart. You are therefore overloading all the events twice and when you change language LanguageSelect calls it again.

This is one important one difference between the legacy and optimised environments. The optimised environment "stacks up" events added by AddEvent and calls them all whereas the legacy environment doesn't. I have discussed changing this behaviour with Erel in another thread.

I am not sure that this entirely explains the bad behaviour. If it doesn't would you be prepared to let me have the source code so I can look at this?

I will release the source code when asked, but only when the app is fully developed...wich will be in a few weeks, due to some time contrains...
But, yes, you are right Andrew, the addevens is called on the setcontrols and on the language selection...
I will try to see is I can avoid this recursion...
Thank's for pointing it out...
