Problems with print events (wodSSH / wodSSH.NET)

I am using wodtelnetdlx OCX and I have implemented the print events in a vb6 aplication, I connect via SSH2 to a HPUX machine.

Some printing events occur and are handled correctly, some other events trigger the object_Received(ByteCount, Handled) trigger and when the object_PrintData(Text) is finnaly triggered the recieved text is one character long.

The object_PrintEnd() does not fire until I close the aplication, so the aplication just stops any kind of SSH comunication.

Can someone help me understand what is happening and how to correct it?

Thank You,
Ivo Valente

Hi Ivo,

Can you maybe show us some code snippet so we can try to duplicate this problem on our side?

You are receiving this problem with some specific server or you receive it with all servers you are using?

Thankyou for your response, I am gathring more concrete evidences to post them here.

Meanwhile it seams that the things that get printed correctly are all ascii based and those that raise the object_Received(ByteCount, Handled) right after the object_PrintStart() and before the object_PrintData(Text) contain some binary or special caracters in the buffer.

I am trying to find a pattern, I will post my findings.

Also, I am using version 2.3.8 and you are now shipping version 2.4.2, this might be an issue addressed by you in later versions. Our support has expired and while I wait for approval of its renewal I will also carry out tests with your Trial Version.

I will also report on how this goes.

Thankyou,

Good afternoon,

I have acrried out testes with your latestes version of the OCx component and the problem persists.

An example of the what is suposed to be recieved is as follows:

The diference between the information that prints correctly and the one that doesn't is a set of printing escape sequences that format the outputed text (i.e. make it bigger, bold, etc ).

In SecureCRT, a Telnet/SSH client, for these printing escape sequences to work we have to enable printing in raw mode , other wise each squence comes out in text.

Is there a print raw mode in this OCX component? Is there a way to recieve a binary buffer instead of a sitring the object_PrintData(Text) event?

Any help will be appreciated, we are running out options.

Thank You,
Ivo Valente

Hi Ivo,

Is there any chance you could send me a sample of what you are printing? I'd like to duplicate the same behaviour on my side.

If I succeed in that, then we can debug this and see what exactly happens. Is that possible?

You can send that to techsupport@weonlydo.com

Damba

I have sent the requested file by email as instructed.

Thank you,

Ivo Valente
