Program locks up after printing

[gpxi]

Hi,

I ran into a strange problem. You should be able to duplicate it by following what I described below:

I was trying a sample program called "View" for VB. I enabled File toolbar after starting the app. Then using the file open button, I opened a multi-page pdf file. I then clicked print button. A dialog box opened with various parameter settings. Next I clicked Current page and then Print button. The page printed and the control returned to the main screen. However, it was locked up. The only way you can end it is to kill it via the task manager.

Was I doing something wrong? Or is it a bug?

Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you Stefan and Besogerh for your speedy replies.

I did find a solution. What you can do is to drop a timer on the form, which checks to see if the form is disabled. If it is, then it enables it. By default the timer is off. Under the CoPDFXCview1_OnEvent, match nType = PXCVA_EventTypes.PXCVA_OnNamedNotify. And next if Name = "Global::EndModal", then turn the timer on. This event fires after the print action is done. The timer then keeps the program live.

Problem solved, at least one workaround you can try.

thanks gpxi for posting the work around.

I am glad that I found a way out and share it on the forum.

Interesting thing I noticed is that the bug only shows up in the initial run of the print function. The subsequent printing does not affect the program. I put a msgbox message prompt in the timer to show whenever the error is "corrected". Running the sample exe I observed that behavior of the control. Hopefully your dev team could use this piece of info if not already figured out a correction.

Please let us know if a new build without the bug is available. Thanks!

Hi gpxi,

this was fixed in build 55 which should be available for download Friday, unless any unexpected complications arise between now and then...

regards.
