Ok, I''ve got a really weird problem cropping up.
I have a FXRuby app that is showing a FXTable with each row being a
database record. I have a menu on the screen. If you select "Add"
from
the menu, my app opens up another window (FXDialog) that allows you to
add a new record to the database. If you click "Cancel" on this edit
screen, it closes the FXDialog and takes you back to the FXTable screen
and refreshes the data in the FXTable from the database. This works fine.
I wanted to set up hotkeys to allow the user to do the exact same thing
via keystrokes. So I added an accelator to the acceltable for the app.
When I test this, it bombs. If I am sitting on the FXTable screen and I
hit Ctrl+A, it opens the edit screen just like it should. However, if I
click on the "Cancel" button on this screen, my app bombs. The error
and line number it gives me hops around a little bit, but it goes
something like this:
c:/work/ruby/lib/fxstuff/fxlistview.rb:188: [BUG] rb_gc_mark(): unknown
data type 0x13(0x27341a4) non object
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]
It is bombing in fxlistview.rb, which is my subclassed FXTable.
Something else interesting. If I turn off garbage collection, this
error does not occur.
Now, the strange thing is, I am executing the exact same routine when I
click on the "Add" menu or when I hit "Ctrl+A".
Here is the code that maps my Add method to an ID:
FXMAPFUNC(SEL_COMMAND, ID_ADD, :onCmdAdd)
Here is the code that adds the accelerator:
self.accelTable.addAccel(fxparseAccel("Ctl-A"), self,
FXSEL(SEL_COMMAND, ID_ADD))
Here is the code that adds the menu command:
@menuItems[:add] = FXMenuCommand.new(editmenu,
"&Add\tCtl-A\tAdd a new record.", $icons[:add], self,
ID_ADD)
It has something to do with garbage collection, but why would my app
behave differently based on whether I click on a menu command or whether
I press a hotkey. Both are executing onCmdAdd using FXMAPFUNC.
Does any on this ring a bell to anyone? I know it would help to post
some code, but my app is pretty complex and it will take some work to
rip out enough code to post something that would work.
Any hep would be greatly appreciated!
