Extension Seems Active But Does Not Function #2

Open jimbox13 opened 7 years ago

jimbox13 commented 7 years ago

Installed product versions

Description

The extension is installed and enabled -the status bar even shows different configured states but nothing happens when I turn the dial in any mode. The dial works in other apps.

madskristensen commented 7 years ago

Is anything shown in the output window?

madskristensen commented 7 years ago

Also, do you see all the options (Navigation, Debug, etc.) on the dial menu when you press and hold?

jimbox13 commented 7 years ago

I see all 7 icons in the dial menu and it changes the status at the bottom of the screen. Output and Immediate are empty and stay empty. The only interaction I get is when I choose Errors from the icons it pops up my "Errors" list as if I had clicked on it. Nothing else functions, not even vertical scrolling.

jimbox13 commented 7 years ago

also, FYI. it "buzzes" when I try scrolling it within Studio. regardless of the setting or which direction i get a haptic feedback. (I don't get that in my web browser when I scroll)

madskristensen commented 7 years ago

And if you chose "Scroll" dial menu item and click while a document is open, does it pop the context menu?

jimbox13 commented 7 years ago

(thanks for helping with this!) in all cases I have had a source code document open when I opened the dial menu. With "Scroll" selected I tried a "dial click" and it dismisses the dial menu. I tried a "mouse click" - and on the dial menu dismisses it. (mouse clicks on the document work like regular mouse clicks while the dial menu is open).

Also if it's helpful to know. When I leave VS and then come back (VS regains focus) the Dial functions to scroll the source code document regardless of the Extensions dial menu setting. i.e. even if it is on Errors.

Version 0.7.39 from the CI build does more logging to the output window to see if the events aren't being fired. It looks like this:

Can you try that build and see if it fires the events, please? (it might take a minute for the build to finish)

jimbox13 commented 7 years ago

should I disable or uninstall the one that is there? if not are there particular steps to make sure the new build replaces the old one?

madskristensen commented 7 years ago

You can just install the ci build. It will upgrade the one you've got. The next official release will then upgrade that one. It's easy that way :)

k i just double clicked the download and restarted studio. made sure it's enabled. no change. output does not have an option for "Surface Dial Tools for Visual Studio" - actually it has no options in the ddl. Maybe the dial is not supported in Community 2015 version?

madskristensen commented 7 years ago

That's so weird. No, it should work in 2015 Community edition, though I code it in VS2017

madskristensen commented 7 years ago

I'm making a change now that I believe might actually work. I've been referencing a .winmd file but not including it in the extension itself, believing that it wasn't needed. However, when I look at the API example I can see that they in fact include this file. The CI build is ready with the change if you want to try it

Hi. Still no change. Zoom and Scroll don't even work. Nothing in Output and the "output for" drop down is empty. Here's the install info image

Sorry for dragging you through this. No rush really - there isn't an urgency here. Is there other info I could provide that would help?

The haptic buzz occurs on each feature whether I turn left or right. It's almost saying that "there's nothing to show." but I do have bookmarks. etc. Though no build errors.

mccow002 commented 7 years ago

I know it's been a couple of months, but I wanted to chime in that I am having the exact same issues jimbox13 is describing.

I'm running:

In both visual studios, the scroll wheel appears, but nothing in it works. Also, there's no Surface Dial option in the Show output from dropdown in the output pane.

This seems like a great plugin, and it's part of the reason I bought a dial. Any ideas?

Do you still experience this issue?

xperiandri commented 2 years ago

Must work in #41
