Door event in module - problem

[DaveW]

I get an error when using the Door object & event on a module form. They work fine the first time the form is shown but the second time the form is shown I get an error:

[object].value = [event].data
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I initialize the object the same way both times the form is shown but it does not have any effect.

If I do exactly the same thing on the 'base' module (i.e. the .sbp) it works without errors. It is only when the form is on a module that the error occurs.

The demo shows this. Click "Show local Form" to show the 2nd form, close the form (red X). Open it again, all still works. Now click "Show module Form" and do the same. Close this form and reopen it. An error occurs.

Anyone have ideas or fixes please?

You should modify your code:

This is actually a rather interesting error as on first examination it looks like it should not happen and why it is happening is not at all obvious.

This is what does the damage. The second New1!

imgMve.New1(imgObj.Value,"MouseMove")
imgMve.New1(imgObj.Value,"MouseMove")

When the event is raised the Data property of imgMve is empty - which does not seem possible as an imgMve object explicitly sets Data immediately before raising the event!

We actually have two imgMve objects now, both wired to the Form MouseMove event and both calling the imgMve_NewEvent event Sub. The first imgMve object is in fact "floating free" as Basic4ppc only has a reference to the second object, that having replaced the first. But it is the original imgMve object defined that raises the event first (having set its Data property) but Basic4ppc calls the second (and only one it knows about) imgMve object which has not yet been called by the Form MouseMove event and so has not yet set its' Data property, hence the error.

@Erel - remember this thread about removing events http://www.b4x.com/forum/beta-versions/2918-event-difference-between-ide-optimised.html
