Hi all

I have a VB6 application with MapPoint control inside, I have developed a custom menu that is shown when the user right clicks a certain pushpin.

If the user doesnt select one of the options in 10 seconds he gets the "Server is Busy" message.
I also have a window that is opened through the right click menu, If the window stays open for 10 seconds the user again gets the "Server is Busy" message.

I tried changing the OleRequestPendingTimeout, OleServerBusyTimeout
and OleServerBusyRaiseError but it isnt working at all.

I have searched this forum and the web for some time with no result.

Does anyone have an answer for me?

Hi,

I see same problem using Delphi 5 with MP 2003 using a custom popup menu. I have no direct exaplanation, because the application _is_ processing messages, so wy the heck is this 'server busy' come from ? The same message (and _that_ one seems more normal to me) is when the applications does not respond to messages, eg if it is tight in a loop for longer than 10 seconds (which is abnormal behaviour of course).

Hi,

I just ran into that problem again and solution is very simple. When the popup menu pops up then start a timer for 9 seconds, in the Timer evet just post a <Escape> key message. Then the untouched popup dissapears, it is workaround, but anyway more nice than the 'server busy'

Code:

   keybd_event(VK_ESCAPE, 0, 0, 0);

Using C# and .NET. Have embedded MapPoint control on a simple form (i.e. OwnerForm).
As soon as I popup a anotherform (i.e. DetailForm) as a modal dialog from inside the OwnerForm, and do nothing for 10 seconds, the server busy message is generated and no way to interupt or to abort is. If however I call the Details as a modeless (MDI-child) form all goes well.

Beats me.

Downing the form on a timer, I do not consider a solution.


Anyone out there who knows the answer?

Hi,

I know it is all workaround, because dont know the reason also. I have a few MDI app's with mappoint and several normal apps. The popup menu problem is only in the MDI apps. The modal form problems is also only with mdi-childs. In my MDI's the few forms that need modal are therefore not MDI childs.
