Title: ListView and FF3 Crash
Post by: Mark Strickland on February 03, 2010, 10:52:50 AM
I was trying to setup a ListView control on a project.  As I tested and set a few of the control properties in the properties box I had FF3 crash crash (when closing the property box) with a "Sorry your program .... blah, blah Send to Microsoft " message.  After that I had FF3 crash silently a couple of times intermittently right after the compile completed without launching the EXE.

The actual program produced by FF3 seems to work properly with no problems.

Sorry that I could not reproduce any of this with any patterns.

Has anybody else had any ListView problems while editing?

Thanks, Mark

I haven't had any crashes when dealing with Listviews.

I have had a couple of crashes when cutting or pasting large amounts of text from the code editor. It seems to happen when the very last line is cut and is positioned a certain way on the screen. I haven't quite figured it out yet.

Crashes are always a concern. FF3 does a lot of internal memory mangement with pointers and such. It is possible that somewhere along the way that a stray pointer might be corrupting memory and then manifesting itself later on when you least expect it.

In your case, I am wondering if your application depends on any other DLL's, etc, and maybe FF is failing when it shells out to the newly compiled EXE in order to run. Hard to know at this point.

BTW, Mark, nice to have you back around here. Haven't heard much from you lately. You must be working too hard!
