250.0. "CMUserSendEvent events" by EEMELI::OJUSSILA (Olli Jussila, IS/SMGT Finland) Fri Apr 22 1994 13:34

    
    
    With Simon's help I build a test program sending event
    to ENS of PCM V1.1 using CMUserSendEvent.
    
    Sending event  works just fine. Icon of the system to which event is 
    sent changs colour and event appears in Event list window.
    
    But if show context of event is select for external event 
    Event list window crashes.
    
    I tested this in VAX/VMS and in ULTRIX system.
    
    Of course there is no sense to to try to get any context for
    external event but software should't crash. I have defined
    show context as default action for double click. 
    
    
    here is process dump from VMS system
    
    %SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual
    address=00000000, PC=000133AC, PSL=03C00000

                                      name,
                                      class,
                                      info,
                                      "OLLI's TEST",
                                      event_time,
                                      priority,
                                      subsystem,
                                      source);
    }

Olli,
     yes you are right, I shall pass that on to Phil to look at. It may take
some time to get a fix as Phil is in Hong Kong on vacation. For PCM events
he handles this condition by putting up window with no context available. He
should do this for the External ones as well.

Watch for fix in an ECO kit.

Cheers Simon....

    
    	Thanks Simon,
    
    	We just have to tell to customers if they ask about this
    	there is fix comming.
    
    	So we will see PCM V1.1 on June's CDROM's
    
    	-Olli                                              

OK,

  I'm back, Olli, I'll take a look at this for you,
  however, you wont see a fix until we issue our
  first patch kit.

Cheers,
Phil

OK,

  Fixed!! A minor case of a missing if statement!

  The fix will be in the first patch kit.

Cheers,
Phil
