Funny: Windows 7 BSOD and repair giving an “Unknown Bugcheck 50”

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/08/29

Had a funny error on one of my Windows 7 development VMs today: “Unknown Bugcheck: Bugcheck 50”

I hadn’t used the VM for about 2 months, and left it in a suspended state. After resuming it got into a BSOD, booting would hang at the Windows logo, and a second boot would get into the Windows Startup Repair.

Startup Repair indicated it could not resolve the issue, offered a “Restore” (which I declined) then told me something like

Root cause found:
Unknown Bugcheck: Bugcheck 50. Parameters = 0xfffff880009aafb8, 0x0, 0xfffff8000347bc60, 0x0.

The solution was very simple: Read the rest of this entry »

Delphi: always watch the compiler Warnings

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/08/28

Quiz questions:

  1. Does the below unit test succeed or fail?
  2. Why?
procedure TestHResult.Test_EOleException;
var
  OleException: EOleException;
  IResult: LongInt; // == HResult
  UResult: Cardinal; // == DWord
begin
  IResult := $800A11FD;
  UResult := $800A11FD;
  try
    OleException := EOleException.Create('message', $800A11FD, 'source', 'helpfile', -1);
    raise OleException;
  except
    on E: EOleException do
    begin
      if E.ErrorCode = $800A11FD then
        Exit;
      Self.CheckEquals(E.ErrorCode, $800A11FD, 'E.ErrorCode should equal $800A11FD');
    end; // E: EOleException
  end;
end;

Funny: 2300+ hits and counting…

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/08/27

Not sure why, but this article that I write 4 years ago suddenly got 2300 hits from Google Search in a few hours time: Solution for “Error Code: 0x80246002″ on Microsoft Update when installing “Microsoft .NET Framework 4 for Windows Server 2003 x86 KB982671”.

Microsoft just got some 300 extra .NET 4.0 installer downlaods through it too (:

A way for a VCL TFrame to be notified when it is actually shown (via G+)

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/08/27

Interesting, as I didn’t think this was possible. Thanks Oliver Funcke!

Notification when a `TFrame` becomes visible.

TMyCommonFrame = class(TFrame)
  private
    FOnShow: TNotifyEvent;
    procedure CMShowingChanged(var M: TMessage); message CM_SHOWINGCHANGED;
  public
    property OnShow : TNotifyEvent read FOnShow write FOnShow;
  end;
...
procedure TMyCommonFrame.CMShowingChanged(var M: TMessage);
begin
  inherited;
  if Showing and Assigned(FOnShow) then
    FOnShow(Self);
end;
