Eikon Connection OnStatusChange

igorg

It looks like OnStatusChange works not always.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start sample application RSearchCppEikonnect:

2. Click Connect to EIkon

3. Wait for Eikon Desktop Application to start. Log in.

4. OnStatusChanged invoked with correct status

5. Shutdown Eikon app using Menu -> Close -> Shutdown

6. No event comes

---------------------------------------------

1. Start sample application RSearchCppEikonnect:

2. Click Connect to EIkon

3. Wait for Eikon Desktop Application to start. Log in.

4. OnStatusChanged invoked with correct status

5. Disable network card

6. Status 'offline' comes

7. Enable network card

8. No event comes.

Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround?

Thanks.

The difference in behavior is likely attributed to the version of Eikon. It appears that in Eikon 4.0.46, which should now be the latest Eikon version available to all Eikon users, the OnStatusChanged event is raised correctly by EikonDesktopDataAPI object.

I'm not reproducing the behavior in either of these tests. On my end on shutdown of Eikon I see OnStatusChanged event raised with EStatus = 0 (Disconnected).
And in the second test on reconnecting to the network I see OnStatusChanged event raised with EStatus = 1 (Connected). I didn't use the RSearchCppEikonnect example for my test, I used a VBA example just because it's much easier to modify (no need to compile). But I don't see the dev environment to be of any significance here. The COM library in question is the same. Are you consistently reproducing the behavior you described?

Yes, this behavior is consistent in RSearchCppEikonnect, my application and AdfinXRT-EikonSDKSample application.

Is there any release notes of this update? I noticed a change in the memory allocation. Also you mentioned that new features will be available for RSearch in this version. (or was it 4.0.47?).
