lost of Control-y

I seem to have lost the ability to interrupt a process using
Control-y in the user version of my application. I'm running VW7.7.1
In our application there are various sections code that can run for a
long time. To give the user the ability to interrupt the process for
what ever reason we have sections of code wrapped as follows:

        (Core.Object userInterruptSignal)
                handle:
                        [:ex| self restoreParametersAfterUserInterrupt.
                        self setToNilAndGarbageCollect.
                        self propagateClearingOfStatusFlags.
                        self propagateClearingOfAdjointStatusFlags.
                        messages value: 'I halted because you interrupted me...'.
                        Dialog warn: 'User Interruption of Optimization'.
                        ex return]
                do:
                        [self optimizeBegin]



In the developer version this works find, hitting Control-y
interrupts the process, pops the Dialog and every thing is fine.

However after I Runtimepackage the application, control-y doesn't
cause the userInteruptSignal to be raised on Windows. (XP and Windows
7), Linux 32 nor Linux 64. However on my Linux 32 (debian) and Linux
64 (Redhat) control-` raises the signal. control-` does not raise the
signal on Windows.

During the Runtime packaging, I tested the application figuring if I
missed something that should be kept, I would get a dynamic reference
so I could go back and add it but Control-y raised the signal with no
dynamic references posted.

What am I missing during the packaging procedure to keep the
control-y functionality?

Thanks

Jim,

Have a look at InputState class>>allProcessInterruptKey (and friends:
#interruptKeyValue,  #warpToLauncherKeyCode) which return nil when the
system is built for runtime. There was a common complaint in the past
that these development shortcuts were available in runtime-built images,
so I believe this was a low enough level where it could be addressed.
There doesn't seem to be a clean hook to re-enable this functionality,
so you may need an override or two in this area to achieve the desired
result.

Hope this helps,

-Boris

Alternatively, package without RuntimePackager and trap those keyboard entries any way you want.  That's how I package

In the development environment "InputState interruptKeyValue" return 25
- which is CTRL-Y.
However  the Runtime packager sets that value to 0 as follows:

InputState interruptKeyValue:(Character value:0 ).

If you can somehow set this value back to 25, while stripping an Image,  
you should be OK.

My 2C.

Mark,

Please note the first line in the below method,

interruptKeyValue
        "Answer the code for the key that causes an interrupt.  The
interrupt key may be a Character,
        a Symbol naming a function key, or an Integer, representing a
keyboard event that is not
        explicitly recognized by the event machinery"

        RuntimeSystem isRuntime ifTrue: [^nil].
        ^InterruptKey < 0
                ifTrue: [InterruptKey negated]
                ifFalse:
                        [InterruptKey < 16r20000
                                ifTrue: [Character value: InterruptKey]
                                ifFalse: [InterruptKey]].

Thanks All, it's amazing what a couple of quote marks will do in the
"right" spot.
