"An Activity context is required" error occurs when no activity context is required

I get the following error in a class module:


It seems that this error occurs if I just call a sub in a code module (here Util.GetText). Util.GetText uses only AHTranslator object which is declared as process global variable. So I don't think that an activity context is needed here.

I can fix this with adding a dummy panel to the class which is never used. But I don't know why the compiler needs activity context.

Sorry, I currently don't have a small example project for the issue.

Edit: Hmm, in this context I can't add a dummy panel because I need an instance of this class as process globals variable.

Seems like a bug. It will be further investigated.

I am having the same issue!

I upgraded to Ver 2.02. Now I am trying to use the Class Modules, but it seems that I cannot call a function in a code module from the new Class Module.

Here is Sample....


'Class module
Sub Class_Globals
Private nBalance As Double ' I played with Private and/or Public

End Sub


Public Sub Initialize(data As Map)

nBalance = data.GetDefault("BalanceDue","0")

End Sub



Public Sub GetBalance As String
Dim sResult As String
sResult = Common.ExtractMoney(nBalance)
Return sResult
End Sub

... Where Extract Money is a Code Module (named Common) ...

Sub ExtractMoney(RowCol As Double) As String
Dim sResult As String

sResult = "$ " & NumberFormat2(RowCol,1,2,2,False)

Return sResult
End Sub

.... Thanks in advance for any information

This is indeed a bug. It will be fixed in the next update.

If you do not need to reference your class object from Sub Process_Globals then you can add this line to your class, under Sub Globals:
This will make your class an "activity context" class and will workaround this bug.

Perfect, Not too bad after the work around.

Another workaround that you can use if the class cannot be made an "activity context class" is to convert your code module into a class and hold a single instance of this class in Main process globals.

This design has an advantage that you are only using classes, and not combining two different types of modules.
