I am using Visual Studio 2005 with Team Foundation Server. When I right click a file under the source control and choose "compare" VS appears to freeze until I hit escape. My guess is that the window that is supposed to be popping up is somewhere I can't get to. I tried minimizing all the windows that I can and it is nowhere to be fou...
I need to develop a small-medium sized desktop GUI application, preferably with Python as a language of choice because of time constraints. What GUI library choices do I have which allow me to redistribute my application standalone, assuming that the users don't have a working Python installation and obviously don't have the GUI librari...
Hello, Is there a best practice for avoiding a browser freeze when loading an applet? For my precise needs, the applet needs to be loaded when the web application is initialized, and is not a visual component (will be in a hidden div or hidden iframe). As a reference, here is an old bug on SUN's side. ...
I have a problem with Crystal Reports 8. When exporting a report from my application, Crystal Reports sometimes freezes. The progress windows just stays, saying X of X records exported. Smaller reports with less data are more likley to freeze. Faster workstations (P4, Core2) tend to freeze much more often, sometimes every second try. O...
I have a simple application, which should send a single byte to a serial port once a minute. But sometimes, from some strange reason, it freezes somewhere in the WriteFile() function. Both sw and hw flow controls are turned off. I've googled some stuff about pending read operations performed from another threads, but I believe this is no...
I'm using a datagrid to display a column of date ranges and several columns of data. I'd like to make the first column (the date ranges) fixed; i.e. that column stays in place when the user scrolls the other columns. That way, the dates column will always be visible as the user scrolls through many data columns. I don't see a datagrid...
Hello Everyone, I am trying to update an Image (_browserScreenshot below) object in XAML by changing the source image every time an event determines the source needs updating. Right now I have this: public BitmapSource GetScreen() { Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(app.Browser.ClientRectangle.Width, app.Browser.ClientRec...
Hi, I'm trying to write a freeze decorator for Python. The idea is as follows : (In response to the two comments) I might be wrong but I think there is two main use of test case. One is the test-driven development : Ideally , developers are writing case before writing the code. It usually helps defining the architecture because t...
I created a minimal debug loop which runs and debugs a process. When the process hangs and the user tries to close it, Windows gives the message box with the option to wait or end now. I would like to try to detect when they hit end now, so my debugger can gather relevant information. However I cannot seem to figure out how to detect th...
Hi, [UPDATE: I forgot to add that this 30 sec. freezing problem only happens the first time I try to load a file from the server. Subsequent loads are very quick. Maybe some strange reverse DNS lookup? I am hosting on Google's appengine.] I started a little project recently called http://www.chartle.net which is build around an applet....
I have a fairly large C++ solution in Visual Studio 2008 SP1. When I RIGHT CLICK, I see the updating intellisense in the status bar and the whole studio freezes for several minutes. Right click worked fine in 2005. Any workarounds? ...
What does that mean? In the instructions for a project, it said to "freeze the Rails gems". Is that different from freezing the Rails version? What's freezing about? ...
Many types in WPF derive from Freezable. It provides immutability to mutable POCO objects and, apparently, allows for improved performance in certain situations. Has anyone found that freezing objects within their WPF application has greatly improved performance? If so, then which items gave the biggest performance difference when bei...
I have started using sIFR for a site at work, everything works very well except one thing. When I'm scrolling down the webpage with the mouse wheel, it stops scrolling when the pointer is on the flash object. It seems like the flash object is stealing the the focus when the mouse is over it. I have only been experiencing this problem i...

This is been making my programming really frustrating lately. I´m in Argentina right now connecting to a U.S. server via SSH. Understandably, the pings are a bit higher here (around 200ms on average) so when I SSH into the server there is a slightly noticeable lag between each keystroke. This is fine and easy enough to work with. Wha...
I have a vb.net project which sometimes, when running in the IDE, suddenly hangs. Normally this wouldn't be a problem. Just hit 'pause', look at the currently running threads, and find the deadlock (or whatever else). But now I'm running into a situation where not only does the program hang, but trying to pause it causes visual studio i...
I am writing an application, which shall work with networks. As a GUI I am using rubyqt. To determine if a Server is up I have to ping it (with net/ping). But I ran in to a problem. If the server is down, the GUI freezes for the timeout, even if I put the code in a Thread or IO.popen loop eg. Thread.new('switch') do if Net::PingE...
I am writing a Java applet that downloads images from a web server and displays them to the user. It works fine in Java 1.6.0_3 and later, but on older versions it will completely crash the process about once every 20 page views. There are no error messages in the Java console, because the process is completely frozen. I've waited for al...
I've noticed that mysql (5.0.60) often freezes for up to minutes at a time under load, during which time the server is completely non-responsive. I've been able to isolate this to only happening when innotop shows the main thread state as "making checkpoint". What is the server actually doing at this point? ...
