Update to latest version

[mlinkey]

I love this! I am trying to update to the latest version and I am getting the attached error message. I am not sure what is different than the older version we were on. We are trying to update to 1.8.15 of the Darkmode.cs file. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Seems simple enough to update but sure not working right.

[BlueMystical]

uff that error looks nasty, says a Win32 API call failed, what Windows do you have?
Out of my head im not sure what that API does, but certainly it isnt the one i use to paint it dark colors.

[mlinkey]

Running windows 11! You have step through the code and it happens right after the run for the form in program.cs. Very strange the older version worked and this one does not. Wondering if something changed as a requirement with the latest version? Hoping to do my digging tomorrow on the issue. But my main form never loads which is odd. If I comment out the dm = dark mode{} block it will work. With the default style set it does not Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

[BlueMystical]

odd indeed, please share your code, if you can, so i can replicate the problem.
Thanks.

[mlinkey]

So in my frmstart.cs file, I have added the following:
private DarkModeCS dm = null;

In frmstart(), I commented all code out but this and still happens.
{
// Set dark mode if option is set
//if (Intimidator.Properties.Settings.Default.DarkMode)
//{
// https://github.com/BlueMystical/Dark-Mode-Forms/releases
// old version saved location: C:\Users\michael.linkey\OneDrive - State of Illinois\Prog\Intimidator\backup10-31-2019
// new version location: P:\DC3
//_ = new DarkModeCS(this); // old method to call dark mode
//dm = new DarkModeCS(this);
dm = new DarkModeCS(this) // New method to call dark mode
{
ColorMode = DarkModeCS.DisplayMode.SystemDefault
};
}

This is the last line that runs and then get this error. This is in the program.cs
Application.Run(new frmStart());

Here is the whole main() from the program.cs
static void Main()
{
// Add the exception handler to email
ThreadExceptionHandler handler = new ThreadExceptionHandler();

// Add the code below to check for the kill file.
// ** Begin killfile
if (killSwitchFound())
    return;
//ApplicationKillSwitch = new DateAndTime.Timer();
ApplicationKillSwitch = new System.Timers.Timer();
ApplicationKillSwitch.Elapsed += ApplicationKillSwitch_Tick;
ApplicationKillSwitch.Interval = 5000;
ApplicationKillSwitch.Enabled = true;
// ** End killfile

Application.ThreadException += handler.OnThreadException;

// Add MIM users to list
string ulist = Intimidator.Properties.Settings.Default.MIMAdmins;
List<string> newlist = new List<string>();
newlist = ulist.Split('|').ToList();
foreach (var l in newlist)
{
    _userlist.Add(l);
}

Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application.Run(new frmStart());

}

[mlinkey]

After the application.run(new frmstart()) it goes here in the darkmode.cs file and this is where it blows up. Not sure if that helps or not.

I have no experience with debugging this type of issue, but I would recommend:

-verify your project's targeting setup

-check whether you are not running out of disk space on the system partition

See also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3343724/how-do-i-pinvoke-to-getwindowlongptr-and-setwindowlongptr-on-32-bit-platforms

[mlinkey]

Verified that it is using .NET Framework 4.8. Confirmed plenty of free space on the disk as well.

[BlueMystical]

mmmmm think i found a possible cause:

@mlinkey: is you Win11 x32 or x64 ?

[BlueMystical]

Just published a version having a fix for that API call on Win32 system, however my system is x64, so i can not test this, please let me know how it goes.

https://github.com/BlueMystical/Dark-Mode-Forms/releases/tag/v1.8.16

[mlinkey]

We are all x64 here. So my development machine is Windows 11 x64. If you have it, I can certainly test it out for you there!

That fixed up the issue! THANK YOU! I love this module for Dark Mode! I think could have not caught this except my code was being compile for x86 and not x64. So that is why it was hitting on the 32 bit as it was compiled that way. Will work on changing that up to x64 here at somepoint! Again Thank you for finding that issue so quickly and getting it going!
