[0.708] Context menu freezes UL/DL visual updating

[Jota.Ce]

When i right-click on a search result:
 - Connections tab updating gets frozen
 - Downloads tab updating gets frozen

It's only a visual issue, cause status bar keeps reflecting your speeds/sizes for UL/DL.

And when you click out of context menu, everything is back to normal.

I get same results right-clicking on Download queue files or file list files...

XP SP3 + 0.708

PD: Anyway, one question more... with Procexp, can i write down Thread ID or CSwhitch ot Starting address to help yoi with this kind of things??? cause all of my problems seems to be thread-related (do you remember 100% cpu usage caused by one thread?)

Regards ;)

Still present in 0.7091.

opening *any* menu with dwt freezes the whole GUI, because it enters the menu's own modal loop and waits for it to exit before processing other messages.

I've checked that, every menu in DC++ freezes visual updating...

fixed by processing callbacks on reception of WM_ENTERIDLE with MSGF_MENU. this might introduce funky issues since background updating of the app while showing a menu has never really been tested...

other solutions if this one doesn't work out (writing them down while i have them in mind):
- install a WH_MSGFILTER hook and act on reception of MSGF_MENU in the MessageProc.
- create a fake menu window (daunting task!) inspired by R Chen's FakeMenu sample in the Win SDK.

Fixed in DC++ 0.797.
