FWH 1510: Problem with Buttonbar in Dialog

[TimStone]

We were delighted to receive the ability to put a buttonbar into a dialog in 1504. I re-coded all dialogs where this was appropriate and it has worked fine ... until now.

If one reviews the suggested useage, and control, we have a tbar control, ID 100, that we place in the dialogs. This has never created a problem. Suddenly, with this version, we are finding an error that ID 100 does not exist. Of course, it is there. Also, it happens on some computers ( running Windows 10 ) and does not on other ones ( also running Windows 10 ).

Was there a coding change in 1510 that may have caused this ?

Input is greatly appreciated.

Tim,

I just tested FWH\samples\barfrmrc.prg and it is working fine on my Windows 10

Could you please build it and test it ? thanks

The problem is that it does not occur on my computer. It only occurs at the client's location. He has it happening on two different computers, one running Win 10, and the other running Win 7. I have a machine just like his Win 10 computer ( Samsung AIO ), and it works fine on mine but not on his. I even put the exact same software on both computers and his fails, mine does not.

The error he gets is: ( but we get the same error on several different functions that are different but all access the toolbar in a resource / Dialog now )

Tim,

Please post here the section of your RC where ID 100 is defined, thanks

RESOLVED - but not sure why:

The example provided when this capability ( Button Bar for Dialog in same function as other code ) was introduced use a resource ID # of 100. Normally that should not be a problem.

In this case, I was blind because I could not duplicate the problem on any of my computers, but it always happened on my client's computers. That puzzles me.

First, I went through and made sure the REDEFINE BUTTONBAR variable was declared as a LOCAL in each function where it was used. I figured we had a problem not releasing the ID in memory, and there was a conflict perhaps reloading it. That didn't help.

Then I went through and reassigned ID numbers other than 100 in all cases. That resolved the problem. There were no conflicts in any of the dialog resource files with the ID 100, but apparently somewhere in the system something is stored that was blocking it. I have no idea why, or where, but at least it is now working.

By the way, it was not just one dialog. It was on about 20% of them. It's all very strange ... but after all, programming is certainly more complex now with all of the new capabilities.

Tim,

That happens sometimes on Windows: without any specific reason a certain resource ID gives troubles sometimes.

I forgot to mention you what you have already discovered, that changing the ID can solve the problem.

Thanks for the reminder
