Modal Windows in Wavelab - endless Loop

Audio Plugins
1

Hi together,

Wavelab again… :frowning:

I opened a modal window from my plugin.
When i try too close wavelab while the modal window is open, the Wavelab GUI-Thread freezes.

Theres a infinity loop in Component::runModalLoop()

[code] while (flags.currentlyModalFlag && flags.visibleFlag)
{
if (! MessageManager::getInstance()->dispatchNextMessage())
break;

        // check whether this component was deleted during the last message
        if (! isValidMessageListener())
            break;
    }[/code]

Another thread from Wavelab (i think its the main-GUI Thread) tries to get the MessageManagerLock

> juce::CriticalSection::enter() Line 96 + 0xc bytes C++ juce::MessageManagerLock::MessageManagerLock() Line 345 C++ juce::Win32ComponentPeer::peerWindowProc(HWND__ * h=0x000b08c8, unsigned int message=49704, unsigned int wParam=0, long lParam=0) Line 1753 + 0x8 bytes C++ juce::Win32ComponentPeer::windowProc(HWND__ * h=0x000b08c8, unsigned int message=49704, unsigned int wParam=0, long lParam=0) Line 1744 + 0x18 bytes C++

Any help would be great!

regards

Very nasty…

Isn’t the modal loop running on the main GUI thread, though? If not, then it probably should be…

I think the problem is the wavelab uses more than one thread to handle GUI stuff.
The modal loop is started in the button-Listener of the Main-Plugin-GUI.
