Windows Application Verifier

Has anyone used the Windows Application Verifier with a CVI-built executable?
I'm curious if it works with a CVI developed app (maybe not in the debug mode but maybe in the logging mode?) and if it's capable of finding errors not detectable using a CVI debug build.
On a separate topic, I'm wonderingif there's anything available in CVI to help detect memory leaks? I seem to recall hearing that CVI 2009 had something like this, but maybe it's in the optional profiler that's not part of the FDS.
Thanks.

I've found over the years that one of the best ways to cure memory leaks I have induced is very simple. Do a search for every instance of alloc, malloc or calloc and be absolutely certain there is a free call to go with it.
I personally prefer not to do this but if you alloc memory in a function and pass the pointer back, you really need to document that a free is needed to clear that memory. Even if you are the only one using that function, make it explicitly clear because you may forget (I know I do). Good practice is to document these things in usage comments and/or any design documents you do.
As for detecting them, Windows PerfMon can help there as somebody mentioned in this thread.

Can Bootcamp and Parallels share the same Windows applications and data?

I'm looking at getting an Intel iMac which will let me throw away my old PC - Yeah!
I will have a couple of Win apps that I will need to hang on to (Quicken - Quicken for Mac is horrible, but that's another tghread). Anyway, can Bootcamp and Parallels share the same Windows applications and data?
My thought would be to allow my wife to access Quicken from Parallels and not have to reboot. She will only need lightweight access and the overhead of running virtualization wouldn't impact her. I, on the other hand, would want to occasionally boot natively into Windows and run the same application with the same datafile. Is this possible?
Thanks and looking forward to joining the MacIntel world!

Thanks for all of the freplies. I suspected that BootCamp and Parallels could not shar ethe same partition, but wanted to verify. To address some of the other posts:
Re: Quicken vs MoneyDance - I looked at MoneyDance a while back and while it is comparable to Quicken for Mac, it isn't comparable to Quicken for Windows (ergo, Quicken for Mac isn't comparable to Quicken for Windows!). But, as I said, that is a topic for another thread!
Re: Using Bootcamp/Parallels for only one app: I actually have several apps that I still need access to on Windows. I work with many business applications than only run/are supported on Windows as well as receive some complex Office documents which Office for Mac cannot handle. Quicken (for Windows 2007) was just the best example of a consumer app where I could see wanting access from both OS X and Windows.

Dear Java users,
I developed a Java application to be deployed on windows server 2003. But when run the application with Application Verifier to check for runtime resource handling, the java.exe crashed with messsage: java.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on windows application ("specified type is not valid ")

Hi
I am having problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on one of my windows application.
I am not sure how to put the Crystal Report Viewer 11 Control onto the tool box.
I could found a Crystal Report Viewer control on my computer, but it is version 8.5.
I have also found another one which is Called Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, i don't think it is the one I can use. As when I try to load a dummy report on to the Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, It return an error. "specified type is not valid"
Please see the Code sample below.
private sub loadReport()
     Dim r as New ReportDocument
     'v is the name of the Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Control
     r.Load("C:\Report1.rtp")
     v.ReportSource(r) <---It throw error on this line.
End Sub
Could you give me some advice about what have I done wrong, How to check if I have set up the Crystal Report Component correctly in my Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition.
Thanks in advances.
Many thanks
Chi

VS 2005 Standard and Express editions do not come with Crystal Reports; only the Professional and higher editions will have CR bundled. However, I believe you can purchase CR XI R2 Developer and it will give you the components you need to create a VS .NET 2005 application using the Standard edition.

How can i close a windows application that works under vmware in am applescript

Hi there,
On my roof I have a set of solar panels. The daily score of these panels are only visible by using a Windows application.
So I use vmware on my Imac to start Windows 7 on Bootcamp, this all by using a applescript in the automator app.
In the script vmware is starting up and then i made a task in Windows that starts up the specific application after the Windows startup. After a delay of 180 seconds the script fills in a password an gives a return. That works well.
Unfortunately it runs perfect the first tim a and then the second time, the specific application does not start. Only Windows starts up, the rest of the script does not work the right way, exempt closing the vmware, that goes as expected. So I think that the closing command that I give in the script:
tell application "VMware Fusion"
quit
end tell
causes a problem. The closing of the application within Windows is perhaps not done on a proper way.
Therefore I am looking for a way to close that application first and then closing Windows 7 and then VMware.
Thanks in advance for your help.

As a completely different approach, I'd have a look at the raw network traffic with tcpdump or equivalent, and see if I could figure out how to access this data — if you're lucky, it's a fairly standard interface of some sort; HTML queries, possibly.
Start with a port scan of the controller for the panels (using Network Utility.app in OS X, or another tool), and see what IP ports are open and active.
Is there a vendor and model associated with the controller for the panels? That might turn up some software other than this Windows application/

How can i install windows application (like hislider) on my macbook?

Recently i'm trying to create html slider plugin for my website. so i intall hislider software in my computer to create stunning image slider. This software is running ok, but i also like to install it on my MacBook.
Can anyone shed any more light?

There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install Boot Camp 4 if you’re running 10.7 Lion http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
or Boot Camp 3 if you’re running 10.6 snow Leopard http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3777. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.

Can I install Windows Applications on an External Drive?

I would like to install Windows apps on an external drive. Is this possible?
Windows Vista will of course reside on the internal drive. (on a 2009 Mac Mini)

Is this possible?
Only if the application is explicitly designated as being portable. It may work for other applications, but isn't guaranteed to succeed, as most Windows applications modify the registry when installed and/or use system components.

Best Practice for Showing Videos in a Windows Application

I am building a windows 8 application that has multiple articles. Each article will have anywhere from 0-3 videos associated with it. I was wondering where I could find some guidelines, best practices or examples about the how best to do this
from a design stand point, so that app is in line with the Windows Application guidelines.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi bcp1978,
>>I was wondering where I could find some guidelines, best practices or examples about the how best to do this from a design stand point, so that app is in line with the Windows Application guidelines
To design a windows app, we need to understand Microsoft design principles first:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/hh781237.aspx Use these principles as you plan your app, and let them guide your design and development choices
Microsoft also provide a page of design guideline:

Resolution 1440 x 900 for Windows applications?

I am attempting to use MacBook Pro (15") to run Windows applications. Some of these are written for a screen resolution of 1280 x 1050, but the max available on the MBP is seemingly 1440 x 900. Is there any way around this, short of buying an external monitor or the 17" MBP?

I was thinking of a solution along the lines of, maybe the device handlers could reduce the Windows app image to the lower native resolution, which could then be displayed.

Uploaded document via windows application does not show in document library, but as checked out Document

Hi,
A windows application uploads document to a document library programatically. Although they get added to the document library but are not shown there. Only when I go to the "Managed file that have no checked in verison" I see all the documents.
This happens even though I have set "No Versioning" in the library settings. This is probably happening because I have added a few custom columns to the library.
How can I avoid this situation and get to upload document which can directly be seen on the document library rather than first taking control of the doc and then checking it in?

Hi,
When uploading files without filling in some required columns, the files would appear in “Checked Out Files” page.
To avoid this situation, you can modify that windows application to force users fill in the required columns or just define default values for those columns.
You can take a look at the link below for more information:

How to use original java VM in microsoft windows applications

I have seen few applications like of Oracles, They use Java Beans and classes in the windows applications.
Can any one of you tell me how can i use java classes in Windows applications(through oroginal java VM only, not by microsoft Java VM).

actually i think they use the same way i use in my applications:
i have Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 by which i write a windows program interface (like oracle) then create from inside it, in reflection to a button event for example, a procedure which runs "javaw.exe -cp ... MyJavaProgram.class" this java program executes in its own work space and i can terminate it from within my C++ program, but i can't get data from within it directly, i use the DBMS as a way to get data from within it.
but i'm not tried for example to run java bean directly in my VC++ program, emaple, not run swing component inside my VC++ main window Created by Visual C++
that is what i'm doing. i hope there is a better way to do so because i don't like it that way i do.
