ctl32

HI Carlos,

I've just started to try out these classes and had successfully implemented the balloon tip in several of my forms using the original "production" release. Today I updated to the latest release version from the site and something has now broken for me. When the balloon tip class is instantiated, I am getting an error 43 when it attempts to add the oToolInfo object. Can you offer any guidance?

Thanks,

rk

Hi Carlos,

I reverted to the prior version and it works. I was able to determine that the older version uses different code for the protected AllocMem function. The version that works has this:

Return apiHeapAlloc(apiGetProcessHeap(), HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY, m.pnLength)

The version that fails on me returns a 0, which results in the AddObject failing. The AllocMem method appears to be commented out in the latest version of ctl32_structures.prg. I hope this is helpful.

Hi Carlos,

I saw your message this morning. Welcome back.

I've basically worked out my problem which came down to making sure I was using the correct version of everything. I will say that the order that libraries and procedures are loaded is critical. In particular, the handling (or mishandling) of the vfp2c32.fll (not your code, I know) can cause all kinds of C5 fun. Having said that, I've got things relatively stable in my production environment.
