CDateTime issues since 26 January? [message #62844]

Hello,

I've checked out the CDateTime project from the eclipse CVS and got it
working in my application on the 26 January.

I did that becouse the old CDateTime I've used would't work correctly a
Vista system (the menu bar would dissapear under a white bar after the
drop down composite would show).

The 26 January version I got from the eclipse CVS corrected this problem
but I had other issues:

- If I would open and close the drop down 4 times in a row by clicking
on the botton (aka arrow button in a normal combo) then the CDateTime
would start to preselect days (Ex it would auto-select the day 21 and if
I pressed on 15 without going with the mouse over 21 a priori then it
would still select the 21rst day of that date - it could trick the user
that he selected the 15 but actually the CDateTime selected 21 or so;
note that after the 4th drop of the combo the date that it
'auto-selected' kept changing circulary following a diagonal pattern
parallel with the secondary diagonal of the square)

- moreover if I tried to use the arrows on the keyboard to change the
selection then the whole app would freeze

I did a compare with the date 26 january to check weather there have
been changes that could correct this but I would like to check with you
if these issues are already corrected or can otherwise be workedaround.

For now I rolled back to the old CDateTime and miss the chance to run my
app on a Vista box.

Please advice.

Thanks,
Liviu

Hi Liviu,

Thanks for the excellent and thorough description of this problem. The
first actually sounds like an internal focus problem - do these issues
happen on XP or is it specific to Vista?
Please file a bug for each of these and I'll try to get to them shortly
- I just haven't had time to run Vista lately.

Hi Jeremy,

They happen on XP.

I only tested on Vista that it would not kill the menu bar and it didn't
but on XP I had that focus problem you identified.

I did not test on vista for those bugs. I may do so next week
(Monday-Tuesday?).

I will file the bugs in about 20 hours.

Thanks
Liviu

Hi Jeremy,

I forgot to tell you my hours tend to be quite long sometimes.

Here are the bugs:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=266694
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=266698

I'd offer my time to correct this but I don't really know where to
start; on the other hand my client has already moved some systems on
Vista and, you guessed it, I'm rather desperate.
Please advice.

Thanks
Liviu
