Crash down

[Rucksacktraeger]

Hi,

The StatusBar works so far. But when I keep my mouse pointer for more than 1second on the control, the whole application crashes down. You can test it with a new project. Just insert the component and place a unicode statusbar in the form. Or is this error only at my computer?!?

Best Regards, Pete

It doesn't happen here (Windows 7). Does it happen in the compiled program, i.e. the exe file? Then we could try to create a crash dump using BugTrap. This would help me to identify the line of code that causes the crash.

It happens compiled and not compiled on WinXP english and WinXP germarn. Attached all project files.

How to make a crash dump? Does the VS2008 debugger help you? It says:
Unbehandelte Ausnahme bei 0x5d097092 in Project1.exe: 0xC0000005:
Zugriffsverletzung beim Lesen an Position 0x00000000.

With your sample project it was to reproduce and fix easily, thank you. Your sample project also crashes on Windows 7. I don't know why it did not crash when I tried myself.
The actual crash is caused by a missing NULL check inside comctl32.dll. In other words: It's Microsoft's fault. I have implemented a workaround.

I think I'll release a new version of the StatusBar control within the next 3 days.

Hi Timo,
thx a lot for debugging. It's hard to eplain the user: You can do everything - but do not keep the mouse 2 seconds on the Statusbar
