#120257 - 2004-05-27 10:41 AM Drop KiXforms 2.3.0.44 object
Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	I'm trying to drop the main KiXforms 2.3.0.44 GUI object. With 2.2.0 $object=0 was sufficient, but in the new version this dowsn't work. How do i get rid of the object completely ? I tried: - $object.Hide() - $object.Despose() - $object=0 - $object.Clear() Nothing seems to work.. _________________________ Kind regards,

Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	Will give Dispose() a shot too, .Quit didn't do the trick. _________________________ Kind regards,

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	what is $object? could you paste the start of the creation so we can view how does the object gets created. I think that might make difference. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	The object is created like this: Code: $System=CreateObject('kixtart.System') If Not $System Shell 'regsvr32 /s %SystemRoot%\System32\KixForms.dll' $System=CreateObject('kixtart.System') EndIf ; Define window.. $Basis = $System.Form() The object will be Basis, so $Basis.Quit, $Basis.Dispose() or $Basis=0 should do the trick. If i do this, and i use Shell '$Action' (see posts above) the process hangs. There's a simular post about the behaviour for KiXforms 2.2.0 if the GUI object isn't dropped (using $object=0). _________________________ Kind regards,

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	well, why don't you do: $system=0 ? that would get rid of KF. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	Tried it, but it didn't work if i correctly recall I'm trying the old script (not completely rewritten for KiXforms 2.3.0.44) with the new KiXforms 2.3.0.44, see if that works. _________________________ Kind regards,

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	Jooels solution should work, for example: Code: Break On $System = CreateObject("Kixtart.System") $System = 0 If $System ?"System does exist..." Else ?"System does not exist..." Endif Exit 1

Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	I will test this again asap. For now, i'm busy rollback all the affected scripts to minimize damage. In this thread and the KiXforms BBS thread this is also mentioned (back then i worked with KiXgui). Maybe this is more help? Once again: when i drop the GUI ($Main=0 $System=0) and i get to the Shell '$Action', all action stops till i kill the Kix process.... _________________________ Kind regards,

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Code: $System=CreateObject('KiXforms.System') If Not $System is incorrect syntax as $System is an object. Teh correct sytax would be Code: $System=CreateObject('KiXforms.System') If Not vartype($System)=9 or Code: $System=CreateObject('KiXforms.System') If @ERROR _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	I know, but it is old code. Checking on the existence of the $System object works well for me, but better would be checking with VarType(). _________________________ Kind regards,

I've tested the code again with the released version and yes, it seems to drop the GUI object ($GUI=0, $GUI.Dispose() ?). However, when i use Shell 'InstallShield install Program' all action still stops until i kill KiXtart. With the old KiXforms 2.2.0, when i dropped the GUI object ($GUI=0) the Shell action was correct executed without killing KiXtart..

Sample:
Code:

$System=CreateObject('KiXtart.System')
If @Error
	Shell 'regsvr32 /s %SystemRoot%\Utils\KixForms.dll'
	$System=CreateObject('KiXtart.System')
	If @ERROR
		Exit
	EndIf
EndIf

; Define window..
$Basis               = $System.Form()
$Basis.Text          = 'Installing applications..'
$Basis.Left          = 50
$Basis.Top           = 50
$Basis.Width         = 350
$Basis.Height        = 130
$Basis.Minbutton     = 0
$Basis.Maxbutton     = 0
$Basis.Sysmenu       = 0
$Basis.Visible       = 1
$Basis.Show

; Place labels, text window, status frame..
$BasisWelcome       = $Basis.Label('Package installation script',10,10,260,18)
$BasisApplication   = $Basis.Label('Installing :',10,$BasisWelcome.Bottom+2,50,18)
$BasisPackage       = $Basis.Label('',65,$BasisWelcome.Bottom+2,$Basis.Width-71,18)
$BasisStatusFrame   = $Basis.Groupbox('Status',6,$BasisApplication.Bottom+2,$Basis.Width-20,$Basis.ClientHeight-($BasisApplication.Bottom+10))
$BasisStatus        = $BasisStatusFrame.Label('',8,14,$BasisStatusFrame.Width-12,$BasisStatusFrame.Height-24)


$Basis=0
If $Basis
	$Basis.Shell('%ComSpec% /c \\server\ofcscan\pccnt\disk1\install.exe')
Else
	Shell '%ComSpec% /c \\server\ofcscan\pccnt\disk1\install.exe'
EndIf

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	kixforms won't release until the process calling it has ended. even though you loose all references to it. iirc, that's what I ran accross my tests. some part of the "system-image" will remain in memory, no matter how you try to dispose it. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	What a bummer With KiXforms 2.2.0 it worked perfectly and i'm not trusting .Shell('')... _________________________ Kind regards,

Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	Looks like when running the script from HKLM/RunOnce (thus: logged on!) is doesn't install and when i run the script when i have a desktop it runs fine (with $object.Shell('Action'). Seems that this shell doesn't behave the same as the KiXtart Shell, because using the KiXtart Shell (and KiXforms 2.2.0) gave no problems ! _________________________ Kind regards,

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	well, shell can be bound to shell. shell in wintosh is the explorer stuff and so on. thus, if not yet shell, it can't be used either. this is a quess though. only shawn can answer for sure to that. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	Ok, lets wait and see I'm currently testing again, with the old script. See if the old script still works.. Edit: I've tested it: From RunOnce it didn't install correct. I checked this by logging on as administrator. From desktop it installed correct. Same check as above.
