Activex Control Flickering

[Legacy User]

Dear All,  I have the same flickering problem tha has been reported by other users.  http://caforums.ca.com/ca/board/message?board.id=caplexgeneraldiscussion&thread.id=749  I downloaded installed and tested the PLEX 5.5 SP1 93.033 PTF and i am still getting the flickering effect, i get this effect with CodeJock and non CodeJock ActiveX Controls.  I then searchd the .cpp file for the corresponding line as mentioned in  https://support.ca.com/irj/portal/anonymous/kbproblem?docid=469774&productcd=CPLEX&problemnbr=1294   And commented out that line and compiled the function but when function is executed it GPF's.  I am attaching a zipped avi file with a screen clipping of the flicckering. You can see the flickering in seconds 7 and 14 of the clip  Any recommendations, any one?

Hi Felipe.Glad to see that others are using Codejock like us.We have been using Codejock now for 2 years and we had the same issue as you are describing.What we did to fix the problem was upgrading to SP1 93.033 and that was all, the flicker stopped.We did not comment out the line in cpp as mentioned in https://support.ca.com/irj/portal/anonymous/kbproblem?docid=469774&productcd=CPLEX&problemnbr=1294 We are using CodeJock v 11.2.1.Don't know if this helps, but these are my 2 cents.  regards

Dear Oddi,  I installed the PTF and compiled all the functions i think are involved and the problem was not solve.  Did you have a chance to see the AVI i included? Are you using Activex Controls on both the top application and on dialogs ?  Thanks for your time  Regards  Felipe

Yes i did have a look at your avi and it shows exactly what we were dealing with before.Also we are using ActiveX controls on top appl. and dialogs.Wish i could tell you more to fix your problem.What CodeJock version are you using? Could that be the problem?  RegardsOddi

Dear Oddi,  I was wrong, you where right, I had not applied corectly the PTF, i  did not  copied the correspondinf require dll's to the client side application folder, the flickering is gone, thanks a lot.    One  more questions?  I noticed that are using CodeJock menus and toolbar in your top application also, how where you able to replace the plex menus?We tried this with nolock in the past.  By the way great looking App.     Message Edited by Felipe_Sterling on 10-10-2008 03:28 PM [left]

Thanks Felipe,Adding a toolbar to MDI or Top application is quite easy.Just create a panel, you can inherit from UIBasicShell , we have our own pattern for this " _ToolBar" (CodeJock Toolbar), add the Controls to the panel and start coding your vbScript, set window type to MDI or Top application.  If creating MDI you will always get a warning in the message log window saying that panel is of type 'MDI' and cannot ......., we just ignore the warning.  Hope this will answer your question, if not i will be glad to help you out in any way    .  Regards, Oddi
