#4 Crashing on exit

[Anonymous]

When my jabberclient is exited (for example by

Private Sub EndImage_Click()

JSession.Available = False
JSession.DoDisConnect False

End
End Sub

)

The whole IDE is dragged down by a crash...
Nothing I've tried helps to cure the problem...
When i first go offline, and then close the program,
it's all fine....

I am having this problem also. I would be interested to see
what you send to 'go offline'. I cannot find an example of
what should be done to stop this happening.

I have had a similar problem and I think I found the
solution. Before exiting your program do the following

Public With Events JSession as JabberSession
.
.
.
'Just before the end of your program
If JSession.Active Then JSession.DoDisconnect
DoEvents

Also, under no circumstances should you use the End
function or the Stop button in the IDE. End does not allow
normal termination such as Class_Terminate functions and
for some reason JabberCOM is not shut down properly.

Hope this helped.

I was having this problem in vc++ and identified the problem
as being the fact that when you call DoDisconnect(), the
jabbercom framework will try to callback OnDisconnect(), but
if the Session has aready been deleted then it will of course
throw an exception. I was able to remedy the problem by
creating a flag that keeps track of when OnDisconnect has
been called. After I call DoDisconnect() I have an embedded
message loop that waits around until my flag is FALSE.

Here is a shoddy example from the destructor of the class
containing the JabberSession:

if (Session.GetActive())
{
Session.SetAvailable(false);
Session.DoDisconnect(true);
MSG msg;

CWinApp *app=AfxGetApp();
while(1)
{
if(JabberConnected=FALSE) break;
while ( ::PeekMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0,
PM_NOREMOVE ) )
{
if ( !app->PumpMessage( ) )
{
::PostQuitMessage(1);
break;
}
}
// let MFC do its idle processing
LONG lIdle = 0;
while ( AfxGetApp()->OnIdle(lIdle++ ) );
}

}

Oh, this is an addendum to my other post. On line 9 of my
example it should read: JabberConnected==FALSE
Also, you may need to add a Sleep(500); to your
OnDisconnect() as it seems that jabbercom sometimes
requires extra time to finish it's cleanup. This is definately a
hack, but it seems to work.
