VB6 login prompt hangs IDE

halford · Post by **halford** » Fri May 13, 2005 11:23 am

Vault v3.0.6 (2856) + VB6 SP6 + Win2k3

When I attempt to create project from source control or open an existing project which is bound to source control, the login prompt is displayed, but I am unable to type in it or dismiss it. My only option is to kill the VB6 task in Task Manager.

Does this always happen, or is it intermittent? Has the behavior changed recently?

it happens every time.

i think we upgraded the server and client recently from a 2.x version. i don't think i've been working in VB6 since having 2.x, so that might be a clue.

Does Alt-Tab give focus to the dialog?

No. Alt+Tab does not set focus to the popup or even back to VB6. I can set focus back to the IDE using the taskbar, but it still unresponsive.

Sorry, I meant CTRL-TAB, to try to put focus on a different dialog within the same app.

I've been trying to reproduce this with the same setup as reported, but have been unable to. Can you try this with VC6, or perhaps VB6 on another box and see whether it is a general problem, or whether it is specific to the machine configuration you are using.

the guy sitting next to me reports that he can use the integration but that it does not retain the ability to auto-connect using his default profile. it's possible i have his same issue, but i can't get that far.

do you think it would be helpful simply to uninstall and re-install?

well, i tried to re-install it, but there is no change in behavior.

You might try hand editing the MSSCCPRJ.SCC files associated with the project to use a profile to login with, which would cause the login dialog to not be displayed at all. See http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=2474 for info on how to do that.

(Note that with VB 6, changing the profile you connect with doesn't save correctly to the MSSCCPRJ.SCC file, so you have to hand edit it. This is because the VB 6 IDE overwrites it with the old info after we write to it with the new info)
