[Fix 11.5.2.4] Right-click when DMX cue control is enabled

Post by BritGeek » Tue Oct 25, 2016 10:06 am

When my DMX device (Enttec USB Pro Mk2) is set up as a cue control device for the production, right-clicking anywhere in the editor triggers the next manual cue just as it would if the main window was active. If I right-click in an area of the editor where a context menu is supposed to display, the context menu displays as normal in addition to triggering the next manual cue.

Replicated on 3 different computers.
Happens regardless of whether there's an active DMX input signal.
Does not happen with the dummy DMX device.
Still happens even if I disable DMX Control in the Session Options dialog.
Happens in 11.5.2.2 and 11.5.2.3; I haven't tried any earlier versions.

Diagnostic file attached, let me know if you need me to run a trace version.

Thanks,
Tim.

Confirmed. That's a strange one. For some reason the right-click event is being raised against for the Main window instead of the Editor window. Same applies if you open Options - the right-click event is raised against the Main window, not the Options window. Looking into it.

It seems a little strange to me too that the presence of a DMX device could affect mouse click routing. :?

I've emailed you details of a version that fixes this issue. It was related to SCS using a window timer for checking for DMX input, the window timer being linked to the main window. I've changed SCS to monitor DMX input from a thread instead of from a window timer.
