IP Viewer 1.2 and below bug

[Justin]

This bug was reported to me via email:

I have just tried out your IPViewer program and unfortunately had a probem with it.

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium with all updates.

When I run it I get a multitude of windows opening on top of each other. The windows keep coming endlessly and I have to shut the program with Task Manager. The windows have the following message displayed:-

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Text length must be less than 64 chgaracters long.
Parameter name: Text
Actual value was IP Address: fe80::3453:116e:3f57:fd99%8
Host Name: MyName-PC at System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon.set_Text(String Value)
at IPViewer.Form1.LoadIPControls()

Yep this is a valid bug! I found the problem and it lies in the tool tip text while the application is minimized. The current tool tip text only supports 64 characters and often times ip addresses in v6 can often be quite long and this causes a problem. I will switch to a better version of the tool tips and add a few more features I've been planning as well.

This bug has been fixed as of all version 1.4 and later.
