RabidVWM VWMHideTaskOnSwitch - Exception while quitting module Thread last updated on 2003-05-27 05:29:47

Posted by member 2112 on 2003-05-26 19:29:36

I'm using RabidVWM and when I have VWMHideTaskOnSwitch enabled and recycle my theme I get an error in the module and the message "Exception while quitting module." is displayed. This freezes LS and I have to forcibly quit LS to recover from it.

Is this a bug in RabidVWM or is possibly a bug in my theme? Is anyone using this feature without a problem?

Humm, I guess "Exception while quitting module" couldn't be a theme bug...
ONCE AGAIN, here is a simple way to go around things like these: make a script like this (call it like you want)
*Script Bang !CoolRecycle
*Script Exec !VWMToggleHideTask
; or
*Script Exec !UnloadModule "$ModulesDir$RabidVWM.dll"
; here, you can insert some nice stuff to make your theme quit properly
; (save vars, restore default colors...)
; ...
*Script Exec !Recycle
*Script ~Bang

Even a really buggy theme should not be able to crash the module.

I can enable this and recycle as many times as I want with no crashes, it would be helpful if you could grab the debug build and send me a log of this. (install it, load it, crash it, switch back to the regular build, and send C:\RABIDVWMLOG.HTML to rabidcow@juno.com)

Sometimes the debug build will not crash where the regular build will, the log will usually still report something.

Thanks for looking into this problem for me. I've e-mailed the log.

Smurth - Thanks for the code. I'll try this out if the cause cannot corrected.
