Messagebox 2.18 SetGlbalSetting Field not Found, Unknown Procedure

[Jim A]

Just updated my Messagebox to 2.18.  Only way I can compile my webserver app is if I disable all messagebox features.  Otherwise I get the errors above.

Using C6 NT 7.07

Thanks for any help.

Hi Jim,

in your subject you typed : SetGlbalSetting - is this a type or the spelling in the error you get?

I've done an install here, and it seems ok (no mention of SetGlbalSetting anywhere) and the apps compile ok.

So, can you post the exact text of the message (ideally a screenshot of it) and also any CLW it refere to?

thanks
Bruce

Sorry about that.  Images attached.

I get the same errors when I try to compile the Messagebox example under NTWS.

The saga worsens. Finally got CSMessageBox to compile its normal app (had a copy of messagebox.clw in C:\Calrion6\libsrc that was causing the problems).  Trouble is, now I cannot get my NTWS app to compile.  It hangs when trying to compile the Webhandler.  Have restored from backup, same issue.  Have exported to txa, created new app, imported, same issue.

Incredibly frustrated.

Hi Jim,

The fact that you had errant messagebox.* files in the wrong place, leads me to wonder what else is in the wrong place.

>> Trouble is, now I cannot get my NTWS app to compile.  It hangs when trying to compile the Webhandler.

Do you get any messages or warning before it hangs?
Do you get the same problem compiling a web example? That would help determine if it is your environment causing the problem, or just an app.

Cheers

Hi Bruce: I can compile the example apps with no problem.

There is no warning.  Just hangs when trying to compile the webhandler.

Thanks.

I guess the next step then Jim is to send me the app & dict and I'll see if I can compile it here.

cheers
Bruce

I sent it.  Thank you, Bruce.

Bruce looked at the app and got me on the right track to resolve it. 

In the procedures where I was calling StringTheory I had added StringTheory to the local extension.  Once those were removed and all of my templates updated, all's well.

Thanks Bruce!
