Flashing screen in GUI when developing prg etc 1

[coldan]

I have 'gone green' with a K45SE Shuttle PC which is very quiet and, with a NAS, perfect for program development for me.

Running WIN7 RC with SP2 whch I also ran on my 'Tower' system with no problems.

Now, having got around to application development again on the new box I find the screen refreshes very often during my movements around the Project Manager. Some time ago I was advised to get a DLL from MS that is not included with Vista to run the Task Pane manager.

The flicking is clearly from this error
0: Class definition MSXML2.DOMDOCUMENT.4.0 is not found.

which DLL do I need to download please.

You need MSXML3 and MSXML4 with VFP.
MSXML4 is obviously needed for the Task Pane to work, therefore the 4.0 at the end of the OLE class name.

Download msxml3.msi from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...91-052B-42FF-9674-F752BDCA9582&displaylang=en

And msxml.msi from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...2b-b4f2-46da-b4b6-c5d7485f2b42&displaylang=en

MSXML4 is not only needed for the Task Pane to work, but also for the XMLADapter class. MSXML3 is used and herefore needed from XMLToCursor, CursorToXML and other VFP XML functions.

If these installations state, they found a newer MSXML version, install anyway. MSXML versions are installed in parallel since MSXML3, only MSXML2 was replacing MSXML version 1, further versions can be installed in parallel. They are not fully downward compatible, that's why mentioned VFP functions, classes and IDE parts (Task Pane) need exactly these versions.

If you'd installed the optional Soap Toolkit, you'd already hav MSXML4 at least, if not both, that's another option. But I'd rather go for the newest SPs of these packages.

Bye, Olaf.
