Hello, DEVmcc V 1.1 If you click on a domain the the "work in progress, <looking into>" window appears. In this window you have a button <cancel>. When I clicked on <cancel> some funny things happened. It depense the time you do it. - If you click it close after clicking the domain icon, it works o.k. - If you click cancel close before the new domain comes into the window. The backgroundmap is not displayed. - If you click it close after the new domain appears (but the "looking into" window is still here), the hole DECmcc map window dies !!!!!! But the process is still running and you have to kill it by $stop/id=... I think this is a bug. The call comes from a customer and I tried it out on my machine and I could reproduce it. Roland

| 2594.1 | re:.0 - lookinto paradym changed | BARREL::LEMMON | Thu Mar 19 1992 10:23 | 22 | |
The lookinto paradym has changed from v1.1 to v1.2. In V1.1 the
lookinto occured on the same thread as the map window. The cancel
dialog box was on seperate thread. When the user clicked cancel,
an alert was sent to the map window thread.
In V1.2 the lookinto occurs on a seperate thread and the
cancel dialog box is on the same thread as the map window.
The behavior you see is part of the reason why the paradym changed.
The iconic map wasn't checking for alerts at key areas, hence sometimes
it thought the lookinto worked even though the user canceled (no
background map is displayed).
In v1.1 there also is a very small window where if you hit cancel
right before the lookinto routine returns, the alert will be
read by the map window x event processing loop. This alert is
mistakenly interpreted as shut map window down alert, leaving
the iconic map running without any windows for the user to
exit mcc.
