Question

I’ve problem with exception dialogs: I’m using RemObjects SDK for Client/Server -application. When there’s connection problem, the client starts throwing “simple” exceptions dialogs, just text and a button. When I’m running the application on my development machine the exceptions dialogs are not shown (as expected). The text on the dialog is simple “Timeout”, “Connection refused” etc. That kind of exceptions are raised AND handled inside RemObjects code inside worker thread. I’ve also EurekaLog activated, but it doesn’t help at all.

Any ideas why it works on development machine, but not on “vanilla” client machine? How I can get rid of all exception popups?

I’ve following

• Delphi 2007
• RemObjects SDK “Winter 2009”
• EurekaLog 6.0.22

Answer 1

I would do the following:

• compile your app with debug info (.map file) and copy both to the client
• start your app on the “vanilla” client machine
• wait till a popup appears
• start my sampling profiler:
  http://asmprofiler.googlecode.com/files/AsmProfiler_Sampling%20v1.0.6.12.zip
• use the “Stack view of process” button and choose your app in the process list
• double click or press the “Live view” button
  http://code.google.com/p/asmprofiler/wiki/ProcessStackViewer
• you can now view the stack of the main thread, so you should see where the popup comes from…

Good luck!
