Error opening options dialog

[pege]

Hi,

I have been using EventGhost for a long time and like it a lot. I just installed it on a new computer with a clean Windows 10 installation. Now I get the following error in the log when I try to open the option dialog. I thought it was something related to the latest rc, so I tried another version and got the same error. I have tried all versions between 0.5.0-beta5 and 0.5.0-rc4 and I get the same error in all versions.
The latest stable release works.
Any ideas what might be wrong? I searched the forum but didn't find anything.

Code: Select all

it has something to do with your local settings inside of Windows. this can be found in the Control Panel.

[pege]

Alright, but what? I have a clean install of Windows 10 with the standard values for Swedish local settings. I haven't change anything.

[pege]

Alright, so I changed Format in the region option dialog in Windows from "English (Sweden)" to "Swedish (Sweden)" and now it works.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I would, how ever, prefer to use "English (Sweden)". Is it a bug in EventGhost or in Windows?

[kgschlosser]

This seems to be a coding issue in EG i believe. I have attached a replacement file that I would like to to put into place. You will need to save the attached file to c:\program files (x86)\eventghost\eg\classes. this is the default install location if you installed it elsewhere then save it to that path in the eg\classes folder.

Let me know if this fixes the issue. this file has been this way for about a decade and this issue has never come up. so i am not sure if it is something that Microsoft changed with Windows 10. or if it is something that simply has never been an issue until now. But I will get this sorted out for you.

Thanks for trying to fix this.

I tried the new file but I still can't open the option dialog. This is the error displayed (almost the same):

HA! this is a bug in wx.

wx is the software library that handles all of the graphics, the dialogs and windows things of that nature. Now I had changed how it sets the locale to do it the way the error stated. and it still errors with the same error.

I am going to have to do some more digging into this. the locale part of windows and wx is a very tricky thing. there might be a better means of capturing the information we need other then using wx.

[kgschlosser]

give this file a try. see if it solves the issue. same instructions as before

[pege]

Didn't work. See error:

OK this is going to be a tough nut to crack. now the code problems have wandered their way into the wx module. Let be bounce this off of one of my partners and see what he thinks about it. I know it can be fixed i want to get another head involved to find the easiest solution. But as it stands we are going to have to patch the wx modules code. and I would like to do it as little as possible.

@pege: Please replace the following files with the attached onces and see if the error is gone.

- <EventGhostFolder>\eg\__init__.py
- <EventGhostFolder>\eg\Utils.py
- <EventGhostFolder>\eg\Classes\SpinNumCtrl.py

@topix

its an odd problem isn't it?

[someguy1]

I got the same problem. In windows 10 when I try to open the options I get this error:

Code: Select all

12:04:37 PM   ValueError: 'en_US' is not in list

I too had Swedish in region format etc. I did the same thing as OP did, changing format to Swedish (sweden), but it didn't work. then I changed everything about language and region to English, still didn't work..

At least on English (united states) and Swedish (sweden) region formats EG starts. But when I set it to English (Sweden) as I originally had and want then EG won't even start and generates this error log:

[kgschlosser]

Yes we know of the problem it has been fixed. If you click on the build button at the top of the forum you can download a version of EG that has the fix added to it.

[kgschlosser]

That locale error we also know about. And that is because you are running build 1809 of Windows. Microsoft broke something in that build. I am currently trying to work around the problem . No solution as of yet.

If you go into Cli.py file and change

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

To
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, None)

See if that fixes it.
