New beta release for IBConsole available (8.0.0.50)

Fixed some bugs in the threadcode of WISQL-window.
I hope that the reported errors like "Can't write to the canvas"
and "IBConsole hangs with repetitive errors" won't show up again.
I replaced the ReadOnly option for transactions in WISQL-window with an
Option dialog so users can select theyre own options for transactions
in WISQL-window.
If you check the "Set as default" checkbox they will be saved in
IBConsole.xml. The Default button will restore the transaction settings
original used by IBConsole.
As always: http://www.gvsnet.nl/ibconsole

Gelein, the new version is much better, but I still see the occasional 
"canvas does not allow drawing' as well as font and column width issues. 
This is on a Windows 2003 Server with dual CPU's.

I did a test and set the affinity for IBConsole to just a single CPU and the 
issues went away, so I suspect there's still a problem with the threading.

The only thing I can suggest is that you make sure the DBGrid and datasource 
are disabled while the query is running in the thread -- right now, it 
appears to be updating the grid while the query is running.

Thanks,

Dan

Thanks for the suggestion Dan.
I will take a look at that. I could not reproduce the error anymore

Are you testing on a machine with more than one physical processor?  A lot 
of threading bugs don't manifest on a single CPU machine.

I seem to be able to reproduce consistently.  I'm happy to test any interim 
builds you create.

Dan,
I have a HP DL380 with 2 dualcore processors available for testing,
but that does not say much. I think that other people - including you -
are better testers, that is why I frequently make beta releases.
