House Preview Un-docked won't close
« on: May 11, 2015, 10:52:19 AM »
If you exit out of xLights before closing the House Preview window when undocked it stays open and will not close. Alt-F4, right click close, X to close none of them close the window. Not even re-opening xLights doesn't work to get it closed.  Reboot is the only way.

xLights 4.0.29

Thanks,
Chase

I noticed that but only if my system is low on physical memory regardless of the pagefile size. Free up some memory and see what happens.

Do not ask to know all the answers, but ask to understand the question.

I've had that happen with the Effect Settings Panel.  There should be an xLights.exe in task manager you can kill so a reboot shouldn't be the only way.

I have gone and made sure that there should be plenty of memory available, at least I would hope that 16GB is enough memory (that is my available memory).  The issue is that "on exit" the application isn't making sure all possible opened forms are closed before exiting the top level executable.  I believe the assumption is that they will stay docked vice being opened in a new form window.

Now you're sounding qualified to get in there and fix the code. :)
