hello all

I have a script that re-freash a page at so many secs BUT after about an hour it stops working and i have to exit the program to re-start it has anyone else had a problem with this? if so any ideas on how to fix it?


thanks

You're using VDSIPP.DLL to refresh a page in your
browser? If so, why not use WINDOW SEND and
just send the hotkey (F5 for IE) that refreshes it?

BTW, I've not had any problems with VDSIPP.DLL...

Cheers, Mac

Could you be a little more specific? What is the data being refreshed?where is it comming from, a web site, FTP, mail server...? Are you doing anything with it before you display it? ect.

Also I think I remember reading that runnig some of PGWARE's dll'd in the same app with Tommy's was causing some problems. Of course my memory is probably as bad as Mac's and Garret's (see Garrret's don't laugh post).

Just give us more info and we can try to help.

I have been looking at this...and i don't know why hummmm

IT looks like when it stops working the download does get done ( meaning it does download the new temp file) it looks like its the vds window screen that doesn't display it....humm not sure why tho but if i restart the program then it works fine again for about other hour...hummmm

OK if the download actually happens it's probably not the DLL. But I'd need to see some code. Is it possible your running into the list savefile bug?

I don't know a whole lot about vdsipp, but does the internal buffer just keep building if you don't use INTERNET HTTP,NEW?
That could be the problem if so.
I'll try it out and see..

Good point Sheep. I don't use this feature so I don't know for sure but I do suspect the buffer or something like that is overflowing.

[moke]

Unfotunately i don't have the time to go through that much code. If you can narrow down the problem for me i will certainly take another look. In the mean time, here are some suggestions.

Read the bug report on list savefile http://www.vdsworld.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47
I am pretty sure this is your problem. If so you, Mac had a work around i think. Or you can use the vdsinout to work around by writing directly to file.

Try using HTTP new as Sheep suggested

Try using HTTP destroy after each task and recreate your session

[PGWARE]

There is no internal buffer in the vdsipp which keeps all the data stored, the data is stored and then removed once new data comes in. Check to make sure that you are not filling up your list with too many lines. You probably are using up all the memory available on your pc to store the data in the listbox. The only way around this is to clear the listbox and then you can store more data in it.

[SnarlingSheep]

His list is being Cleared everytime it downloads the text file..so that's not the problem.
He's testing it further with the "NEW" command and if that doesn't work I guess he needs to try Destroying and Creating each time.

[tim6389]

yes

SnarlingSheep is right


i'am testing it now... well i will be testing it more in a little bit.
if i don't forget i will post here what was done this way other people can fix it if they have any problems

[PGWARE]

If the dll is downloading the file then there is nothing wrong with it's function. When this happens again look at how much memory is available on your computer. My suspecion is the listbox has leaked all memory out, thus the need to close the program and reopen it.
