How to replace aborted exe ?

Post by Dutchera »

Hello,

I'm busy converting a large Clipper application to FWPPC and have a nasty problem while testing the application:

If the program aborts with one or more dbf's open the executable is blocked and can only be replaced/removed after resetting the emulator or the PDA.

Is this the only way or does anyone know a better solution?

Thanx & Regards

Rob,

You can remove it from memory using "menu-settings-system-memory-running programs" option

On my Dell PDA I use the 'switcher bar' to force a failed program to exit: menu-settings-system-switcher bar option. Useful for testing and removing programs no longer required.

This is not working all the time, sometimes the pocket pc has to be reset to remove the program from memory

Is there a way to change the error handling for fwppc to automatically terminate the process even if gpf ?

something like TerminateProcess( GetModuleHandle( 0 ), 0 ) ???

That could be very handy

Richard,

Ok, we have included a call to TerminateProcess() if there is a GPF. Thanks,

There is a new FWPPC build to download.

I think I have the same problem.

My application has multiple MODAL forms, once an error occurs past the first (main) form the application does not free itself from memory.

My platform is a Windows CE 5.0 device and does not seem to have a Task Manager, so I have to soft reset the device.

Will this August 2007 build fix this issue for me?

Although I have only just started our CE development we purchased FWPPC over 18 months ago. Its taken us a while to fund the project :)
My FIVECE.lib is dated 29/03/2007, I presume I will need to purchase an upgrade?
Regards
