using the "answer" feature -- general question

Post by churchken » Thu Aug 19, 2010 4:25 pm

Hi, all,

Does the "answer" feature halt all messages ?

Until the user responds to the question, are all messages put into a "wait" state, rather than a "wait with messages" state? I can't quite figure out if this is what's cause my program to halt.

Thanks for any insight as to "what's under the hood".

Yes, answer is blocking as far as I know.

Did you tried to add some breakpoints or some sort of output, so you could see that value of the variables and the application flow?

Robert,

Thanks for the information about "answer".

There are several "log comments" intended to provide tracking. The problem only seems to arise when the compiled standalone version is running -- not in development mode where debug could help.

Regards,
Ken

Output the debug info to a file.
