EWB AVs After Search Paths Changed In Environment Options

Sat, Feb 10 2018 6:22 PM	Permanent Link
Frederick Chin	I modified the three interfaces for TCheckBox so that the captions appear to the left of the icon. If I insert or remove the path for the modified interfaces in the Search Paths of the Component Library in Environment Options and EWB rebuilds the library while a form is opened, it will AV if I attempt to drop a TCheckBox on the form. I have to use Task Manager's End Task button to close it. If I restart EWB and then drop the TCheckBox, there is no problem. The following steps will cause the AV when I do not have the modified interfaces directory in the search path::- 1. Start EWB. 2. Close any projects. 3. Create a new visual form. 4. Add the modified interface directory in Environment Options, just above EWB's default interface path. 5. Allow rebuild of the component library. 6. Attempt to drop a TCheckBox on the form. 7. EWB AVs. The following steps will cause the AV when I have the modified interfaces directory in the search path::- 1. Restart EWB. 2. Close any projects. 3. Create a new visual form. 4. Remove the modified interface directory in Environment Options. 5. Allow rebuild of the component library. 6. Attempt to drop a TCheckBox on the form. 7. EWB AVs. I am not sure if it is the result of my modified interfaces. EWB is running in Windows 10. -- Frederick

This allows each project to be different. Might be worth a try if this is causing continued trouble. -- Matthew Jones

I could live with the AV but it is the End Task operation I have to perform that is a deal killer. There was one time where after killing EWB via the Task Manager, all my icons in my Windows 10 taskbar were no longer responding to clicks. -- Frederick

Using support email he can work with you direct to duplicate and fix this. Raul

Start EWB. 2. Close any projects. 3. Create a new visual form. >> Step 3 is the issue - the EDB library rebuild process will close the current project, but not any open forms. You can't have open forms referencing library controls/interfaces when you rebuild the library because any controls/components on the forms will now be pointing to non-existent classes/instances. So, for now just "don't do that". I'll make the adjustments to the IDE to prevent this in the future. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com

Frederick Chin	Tim, /* So, for now just "don't do that". I'll make the adjustments to the IDE to prevent this in the future. */ Noted. I can confirm that not having any form opened during the rebuild will prevent the AV from popping up. -- Frederick
