With 2.0 Latest update. I have 2 programs that both use the same base 
code (more or less) to have a pop up browse. In one, the smaller (60K 
lines) all works fine. In the other (500K lines) I get an error in the 
xbpbrowse code.

Can someone tell me what is expected at XBPBROWSE:FORCESTABLE(1377)

Also I'm getting odd rendering problems in the larger but not in the 
smaller. Have not really looked close at this problem yet the browse is 
the show stopper

Also have not yet got the debugger to work in the IDE. But to be honest 
I don't care as long as I can get the command line to work I'm happy. 
Maybe I just don't understand it. Setting break points and or altd() and 
it never stops. ( note I am running from a VM and have not had the 
debugger working at all for a long time. AMD 6 core processor running 
openSUSE with XP in Virtualbox at least now the debugger does not crash 
and burn like it used to)

Compile times are significantly shorter (command line) Also for a long 
time had the problem that sometimes the compiler would choke about 60% 
through the full compile. Have not seen this in 2.0

In the 60K app all is very good and the code is smooth and seems as fast 
if not faster.

And just a note if you guys had opened up the beta to all I'd have seen 
these problems way back, since I'd have tested earlier.

Jim

Jim,

>Can someone tell me what is expected at XBPBROWSE:FORCESTABLE(1377)

The error actually occurs in line 1378, which is:

if aTmp[2] < 0

The reason that the error log shows 1377 is that there is a DLLFUNCTION in 
lines 35-37, which (often) causes those incorrect line counts. That problem 
has existed since Xbase++ 1.2 and is the reason why DLLFUNCTIONs should be 
either at the bottom of your program file or should be coded as normal 
functions, instead of using the pre-processor directive. But Alaska's code 
isn't usually the cleanest and most sensible, so you'll find those issues 
quite often in their programs.

Anyway, the value of "aTmp" appears to be NIL in your case. In the lines 
above 1378 "aTmp" is set to oCol:DataArea:CellRect(::RowCount), where "oCol" 
is set to ::GetColumn(1) -- after the code checks that ::RowCount > 1 and 
oCol:IsDerivedFrom("XbpColumn") -- before assigning "aTmp".

But none of the above will probably help you any further, I assume.

Your call stack shows that you use a PopUpBrowse() class that is derived 
from a JimsBrowse() class, which is derived from the XbpBrowse() class. In 
the :Create() method of your PopUpBrowse() class you call the :RefreshAll() 
method of the JimsBrowse() class, which calls the :RefreshAll() method of 
the parent XbpBrowse() class, which results in the XbpBrowse:ForceStable() 
method being executed (inside your PopUpBrowse:Create() method).

I'm not sure why you call the JimsBrowse:RefreshAll() method from the 
PopUpBrowse:Create() method, but it seems that the Browse Column's haven't 
been Created() at that time, which causes the error when trying to determine 
their size/position in the XbpBrowse:ForceStable() method.

I would check your PopUpBrowse() and JimsBrowse() classes, to see why they 
call the :RefreshAll() method in the first place. You might want to either 
remove that call or make sure that the XbpBrowse isn't created Hidden (or 
Invisible) -- or has been :Create()d and :Show()n -- before calling the 
:RefreshAll() method. 

Without your actual code, all of the above are just (educated) guesses, 
though, but I hope this will at least point you in the right direction.

I'll take a look

As I said use the same classes in another app and it runs fine.

Even tried reverting back to just the xbpbrowse and still got the error.

My Jims browse adds some small additions to help sync a brows position 
with dialog positions and visa versa. But admittedly I current am not 
using that in this app though I'd like to keep it as an option.

Now that I got some idea what the names are I'll see what is what.

Maybe I have an extra refreshall in the code that is misbehaving the 
code in the two apps are not exactly the same

I think there is a call at the end of the create but I think I put it 
there as a kludge to fix a refresh problem ie the rows were not rendered 
right at first at some past point in the past and I had to add a kludge. 
Not at all sure that is still needed. I'll investigate


Thanks
Jim
