The point is, you have to find a way where if the Code Explorer object is the only one holding a reference to the object, the object is allowed to be disposed/deallocated/whatever.
(And the Code Explorer has to deal with the fact that it may not have any listeners, and that's fine)
In Swift/Objective-C, if you just have the delegate property from my first example, you just declare it as weak and it automagically takes care of it.
Creating a collection of weak references is another story, but it can be done.
@RubberDuck each client registers the provider's ParsingStarted as they please - e.g. CodeExplorerPresenter will want to disable the "Refresh" button. And then each client handles ParsingCompleted as they see fit

Fortunuately, this is one of the better organized modules that's still in "old code".
They want to start whatever potential new hire in this... but I recommended that someone lay some of the groundwork.
I also recommended that we make a special menu item control so that all the other modules could just plunk that in their menu bar and have access to the data analysis views relevant to that module.
It should be pretty simple to do... but I have a feeling it's not going to get done right.
And I probably won't have time to do it this month... so it just won't ever get done right.
This... in spite of the fact that I've told the guy exactly what to do.
Funny thing is... current company is moving into a new building this month or next.
Our current building... is falling apart.
It's basically one step better than a trailer home.
Owner bumped into me in hall the other day, "Oh man, sucks for you. You're leaving and we're about to move into a new building!"
It was sort of sarcastic.
I didn't say anything, but I was just thinking.... "You know, most software companies don't work out of buildings that look like a good place to make meth in..."
And... the new office is a way better building than the new building for current company.
It's right in the downtown area too, right in the historic district.
Having a problem and not knowing how to fix it is slightly better than having a problem and not knowing what it is. Also, slightly better than fixing a problem and not knowing how you fixed it.

Just an FYI, we also have a UserExperience.SE site as well. I believe this is on-topic here because it is discussing code design more than user interface but I wanted to let you know in case your changes drift more toward the UI side and not the code/design side of the issue. — Snowman2 mins ago
> See where this is going? I don't like it, and I bet users won't like it either. What am I missing? How should I go about sharing parse results between features, but still leave the user in control of when the feature should do its work?
The reason I'm asking, is because I figured that if I postponed the actual work until the user actively decides to refresh, and "cached" the parse results as they come in... well then I'd be refreshing a treeview and locating code issues in a possibly stale parse result... which literally brings me back to square one, where each feature works with its own…
Sheets(STRcode).Activate activates Worksheet number STRcode. While you probably want to activate Worksheet with the name STRcode.

You need to change STRcode from Integer to String.

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out a way of determining the bytesize of say 1000 rows in an excel file which may have say 10-20K rows. Once I get the bytesize chunk, I can then split the file into smaller files per exactly 1000 rows....
For our project one of our big tasks is to be able to program in one source language (say Java), then compile that to an Abstract Syntax Tree, and then be able to generate code in any (decent) target language
One of the great things about Antlr is that it allows you to create multiple different kinds of parsers/listeners/visitors. Perhaps what is called for here is a specialized parser solely for the Code Explorer. Another, more general purpose parser for the other features? I've not thought it through exactly. More just a passing thought. — RubberDuck53 secs ago
@RubberDuck not crazy. The code explorer doesn't need the references resolved to build its tree... but it does, to have find all references actually do something...
I think, I would do it like this: When the user triggers a refresh, that toolwindow triggers the parse and shows that it's working. The other toolwindow(s) are not notified yet, they keep displaying the old information. Until the parser finishes. At that point, the parser would signal all toolwindows to refresh their view with the new information. Should the user go to another toolwindow while the parser is working, that window would also enter the "working..." state and signal a reparse. The parser would then start over to deliver up-to-date info to all windows at the same time. — cmaster42 mins ago
The Call keyword is just a deprecated/obsolete way of calling a procedure.

Call Assumptions_OtherAdmin
Is identical to this:

There's really no reason to use Call, it's there only because [much] older versions of the language required it, and it's still there fo...

@cheezsteak Git is 100% working as a COM API. I have all of the local commit & Init stuff working in the next branch now. I figure it will take me a good Sunday or two to get the remote functionality up. Then, there's all the fine tuning and big squishing.
So a month?
