White Window Refresh and menu failure #852

Closed destroyer667 closed 3 years ago

destroyer667 commented 3 years ago

White Window Refresh:

Several windows are opened in my program. Each time a window opens, the rest of the program turns white. I have to minimize and restore the entire program only then all windows are visible.

menu failure:

None of the menu items has a function even under file -> exit nothing happens already when starting the program several errors appear in the console

There's an outside possibility that https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/mia5k732h709bd0n/artifacts/otvdm-master-1913.zip will help. If not a trace is needed.

destroyer667 commented 3 years ago

sorry but i am already using 1913 forgot to update the picture. No error was fixed by this.

Console:

console programm opened

white window failure:

If Programm opened: programm open

program minimized and restored: programm minimized an resized

menu failure:

menu failure

This and all other menus are completely without function or response

There's no way from those pictures to determine what is wrong. Unless there's a trial version or something so I can do it myself, I need a trace to have any way to understand what is happening.

Edit: That appears to be running in msaccess 2.0 which shows similar behavior for the windows, not the menus though.

okay i will see if i can send you a version of the program in the next few days

destroyer667 commented 3 years ago

Where can I send the program? This is a licensed program, so I would like to delete it when it is no longer needed. would only reluctantly put it here publicly pure.

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/otya128/winevdm/builds/37416255/job/d85r9aphppmeu5w2/artifacts adds better support for sendkeys which that program seems to use a lot.

update:

I use dev1923 on Windows 10. The errors have remained but now I can no longer open a program under Windows 10 by double-clicking but it opens the properties window and the standard Windows 10 key combinations, for example, to copy no longer work.

update dev1925:

the error at dev1923 is now gone but the errors mentioned in the first post are still present.

cracyc commented 3 years ago

1925 doesn't have any of the changes. With 1923, for me, the window paint problem is fixed and the menu items work. The ctrl-c, ctrl-v combinations don't work in the program even in ntvdm but I suspect you mean they don't work outside of the program. This can happen if sendkeys causes the windows key state to get out of sync. I'd need to know what function you do in the program that causes the problem.

I will test it again today on another PC. It doesn't seem to work on my PC running Windows 10 version 2004 (build 19041.746). Whenever a new popup window opens, all the others turn white. Also, I still can't use the menu items at the top. So none of the menu items work for me even quitting the program is not possible via the menu.
