Hello

Can you try latest version of AlphaControls LE, please?

[Magnus Deininger]

HI there,

sure thing, I see there were some updates since last I tried… it's nice to see a group of developers with regular updates :).

I'll post back as soon as I've tried this.

Okay, I can confirm that the Bug still occurs with version 7.30. Also, I was wrong, it does also occur when using the load (picture) dialogs, not just the save (picture) dialogs.

Ok, can you send me an example app with Exe, please?

Maybe you can receive a callstack for this error?

Sure, I should be able to cook something up. I might not be able to finish it today though, so I'll probably add it next week.

Thanks in advance,

Magnus

Sorry, took me a bit longer than I expected, I was busy with other projects.

I've attached a .zip file with a programme that is causing the problems; It's fairly straightforward. As you can see in the Project file, I've tried updating to 7.32 before posting this, but it's still not working. It looks like it's probably some minor glitch somewhere, hope you can fix it. The programme includes the linked binary, which in turn includes a short description of how to reproduce the error. Note that it doesnt matter how the dialog is closed, as soon as the file type dropdown list was accessed, it crashes.

To recap, I was using AC Lite (various Versions, including 7.30 and 7.32) and Delphi 2006 (10.0.2558.35231 Update 2, Hotfixed) on Windows XP Home (SP3, German Locale and Release).

Hope this helps in reproducing the problem…

Cheers,

Magnus

Thank you very much.

I have tried your Exe and I really see a problem. You have sent Exe compiled with 7.02 version. Could you compile it with 7.32 please, and upload it too?

[Magnus Deininger]

Great, hope we can find a solution then :).

Here's the weird thing, I did update to 7.32 according to the installation notes, and in the IDE, the sSkinManager object says “Version: 7.32” in its properties. If it was using 7.02, then something must have gone wrong with the update, but I'm not sure what. The only thing I can see hinting to 7.02 is the “SkinInfo = '7.2'” hinting towards 7.02; is that how I find out which version it used? If not, how can I mak sure which version it was using so that I dont't keep posting the wrong code :)?

Hello

Some files from previous installation were not removed seems. You should find and kill them.

You will see a version of components which used in application if your program started with /acver key. 🙂

Hi there,

Hah, that did the trick. I had a stray library path set in delphi pointing to the old version of the component. It sure is kind of confusing because the component's TsSkinManager will happily list 7.32 as its version while really the linker is using code from 7.02. That'll teach me to check thoe project options in more detail (I'm actually a Unix dev so in my defence I'm not all that used to working with these pesky “projects” :D). Anyway, this worked and the bug is gone, so you guys already fixed the problem in one of the updates. Good job and thanks for the help! 😉

— Cheers
