Strange bug
Hi, I have a strange bug, in a class I wrote for printing... There's a place where the class is calling a function to do the printing on a CDC, and right after that it calls CDC::EndPage. The very strange thing happens: The function who draw, can do anything, except LineTo or MoveTo, because if I do even a single MoveTo, the execution fails on CDC::EndPage (Unhandled exception at 0x00000000... Access violation...) I tried to replace the printing function with a compact function who only does a MoveTo(1,1), and it is the same result. But if I do the drawing without a sub-function, but directly before the EndPage, everything is just fine! I also placed TRACEs to print out the m_hDC and m_hAttribDC of the CDC object, and it is fine when the EndPage is called. I have ran a zillion tests, and there *seems* to be no memory leak, just this strange bug... Any suggestions??? Thanks Johnny Abba

Never mind, I found the problem. It was so stupid I can't believe it. The whole complex class did not make a single dynamic memory allocation, almost no way for memory leaks to happen, But in the dialog where I created the class, the whole class was dynamically created, and destroyed ahead of its time...

OK! Now I'm confused!
The bug that I have fixed had nothing to do with the original bug.
I have made more tests, and done the following, where the error occurs:
HDC hDC=dcPrint.m_hDC;
TRACE(_T("%d\n"), hDC); // Prints a valid hDC! - I can do whatever with it,
bitblt to the screen... its ok
::EndPage(hDC); // Lots of Exceptions!!!

I have tried printing with other applications, and they print fine. Even sample applications that use the doc/view architecture, and basically the same technique. Only my class can't deal with that certain driver, so there must be something that I'm doing wrong, or wrong for the specific driver. It is so strange that any printing API functions that are called after drawing to the DC, cause the access violation, but with only minimal drawing, it does not cause it. Is there any tool that can help me trace the things going on in memory? Maybe I'll find out this way how to override the drivers' bug...

If your code is fine with a selection of normal printer drivers (try a postscript one and a PCL one for a spread) then I'd really suspect the other driver. I've had a few wild crash reports with one of my applications and they were all resolved by newer printer drivers. >It is so strange that any printing API functions that are called after >drawing to the DC, cause the access violation, but with only minimal >drawing, it does not cause it. If you can produce a minimal example of what's required to repro the problem, I'm sure others would have a look over the code and possibly be willing to give it a try on their printers. >Is there any tool that can help me trace the things going on in memory? There are memory leak tools, but I'm not aware of anything that will help you in this situation with a 3'rd party driver that you don't have the source for. Dave
I seriously doubt that you need to post 100KB of code to show us the "bare minimum" asked for. I suspect that you need to show the place where you create the DC, where you do your StartDoc, StartPage, MoveTo/LineTo, EndPage and EndDoc. In fact, if you can do these WITHOUT getting the access fault, then it is likely not in the EndPage or the MoveTo/LineTo. Your comment about virtual printer drivers does raise some red flags. But without the code snippet, or knowing what the virtual printer driver does, it is going to be hard to guess. Did you stop in the debugger to see the backtrace? Kind of important. If GetSafeHDC is giving an error, there is always the possibility you have clobbered memory somewhere, but the problem description at this point is far too vague to allow us to make suggestions. Are you using threads? If you aren't, the chances that some thread will "gain control" of memory is vanishingly small. If removing code makes the problem go away, then the code removed is what is causing the problem. joe On Mon, 24 Sep 2007 17:30:55 +0200, "jhonny" <jhonny@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >I will need to post 100KB of code for that here... > >Is there any tool that can help me trace the memory trouble for this? > >The thing is, if I debug, and put a breakpoint on the EndPage line, then >'watch' the CDC object, I can see all the values, including m_hDC, and they >are all valid, but when it goes into EndPage (and then read the m_hDC from >the object) it fails with access violation. >I have tried also to just do a CDC::GetSafeHDC, and it gives the same >exception, although the watch shows the values. >Maybe something is making another thread gain control over that memory in >some way?

public21Well the problem is with the "Virtual PDF Printer" driver, but other applications do not have problems with it. Adobe PDF works fine...

Excel 2007 sorting bug?

Can anyone reproduce my Chart error? Is this an Excel BUG?
Try plotting two lines in a XY-chart: Each line should consist of 2 (X,Y) points. The X values of both lines should be set 0 and 5. The Y values should be calculated from other cells as: Y=S1*X+K1 and Y=S2*X+K2. Where S1 and S2 are the slopes and K1 and K2 are the interceptions. Set S1=1, S2=2, K1=0.001 and K2=0.001. Plot the lines in a XY-Chart. The next step is important: Set the X-Axes scaled from 0 to 0.1 and the Y-axes scaled from 0 to 0.1. The BUG: Now try changing S1 to S1=4. It is clear that something is wrong.The lines should have different slope but they have the same!! Go ba...

Strange behavior.
Hi, I recently find that the Excel formula doesn't work properly sometimes. For example, after having a summation of a column at a certain cell, I then change the cell values within that column, the result doesn't reflect the change automatically. I somehow can get around this by restarting the computer. Does anybody know why this happens? Leo You might want to check to see Excel is set on automatic or manual calculation. If it is on manual, this would explain your problem. To check: Click on Tools in your menu bar Select Options Click on the Calculation tab Select Automati...

Daylight saving time Strange behaviour
Hi, I have created an application where I am using CTime( int nYear,int nMonth,int nDay,int nHour,int nMin,int nSec,int nDST = -1); Constructor to change the dates to UTC before saving them to database. I have set my timezone to Easterntime(US&Canada) which is 5 hrs behind GMT. I entered the following date, 01\11\2006 12:00:00PM.When its converted to UTC,the date its showing is 01\11\2006 4:00:00PM. In 2006,DST ended on 29\10\2006,thus ideally it should show 01\11\2006 5:00:00PM. This behaviour is shown for dates ranging from 30\10\2006 to 4\11\2006. Analysing the issue,I checked my...
Excel 2007 sorting bug?
If an Excel 2007 sheet (#1) has formula referenced cells to another sheet (#2), and if the column in sheet (#2) containing the referenced cells is then A-Z sorted on the value then the original references in sheet #1 get lost as they are now pointing to different cells. Is this an Excel 2007 bug? Why after the sort does the relative position not move so keeping the correct references?. I have not used $ in the cell address. Beemer No, this is not a bug. If you have cells on Sheet1 pointing to other cells on Sheet2 with a direct reference like =Sheet2!B1, then if you change the c...
Strange Outlook Attachment Problem....Please help...
We have been running into an issue with several of our end user Outlook attachment decoding. We have an AIX (IBM unix) server that sends out reports automatically via email. These reports can be either a .pdf, .rtf, or plain text file. The problem is when some users (ones who have outlook 2000) receive these emails, they get the full ASCII uuencode file in the body of the email message (no matter what file type pdf, rtf or txt) and not as an attachment. I have tried multiple updates, and nothing seems to work out. My research on the net just tells me to use mime encoding. That�s not p...
Managing spam emails
Hello, I have recently started using Outlook 2k3 and have a couple of questions about handling spam emails. I know you can just right-click on the Junk folder and delete all the messages inside. But, I like to at least preview the message list in the Junk folder before deleting everything, so that I can make sure that messages I want aren't being misdirected there and deleted by mistake. I know that often, just opening a spam email will activate an invisible "web bug" in web-based email that alerts the spammer that you've opened their message, and then they send you...
Word 2007 Bug
Hi, I periodically get a strange error with Word 2007. While working on a document, it starts using a full CPU core (50% CPU on a dual core machine). While this is happening, Word refuses to respond, although it sometimes remembers keyboard shortcuts etc. This has happened infrequently starting around October/November last year. Immediately before this happens, I sometimes see letters repeated (eg when typing normally, I get a string of 10 of a letter in a row). There's nothing special about the document I'm currently working on; it's based on a template that I...
Can anyone reproduce my Chart error? Is this an Excel BUG?
Try plotting two lines in a XY-chart: Each line should consist of 2 (X,Y) points. The X values of both lines should be set 0 and 5. The Y values should be calculated from other cells as: Y=S1*X+K1 and Y=S2*X+K2. Where S1 and S2 are the slopes and K1 and K2 are the interceptions. Set S1=1, S2=2, K1=0.001 and K2=0.001. Plot the lines in a XY-Chart. The next step is important: Set the X-Axes scaled from 0 to 0.1 and the Y-axes scaled from 0 to 0.1. The BUG: Now try changing S1 to S1=4. It is clear that something is wrong.The lines should have different slope but they have the same!! Go ba...
Bug in Econnect taSopLineDelete when multi-bin Enabled.
I encountered a bug in econnect store procedures. I am running GP 10 SP2 and econnect SP2, with multi-bin enabled. I identified the root cause of the bug is in taSopLineDelete, and also affects the procedure taSopLineIvcInsert. The Site bin allocation quantity is not correctly updated after either deleting a SOP line item or updating a SOP line Item when the SOP line has been allocated from the same bin multiple times. An example is like that For SOP Document# 1, Item "ABC" has order quantity 10. at that time, at Bin A-1, only quantity 3 available, so 3 is allocated from bin...
Money Bug 03/04: Stock Changes it's name but Maoney wont let that happen.
I have seen this in Money 2003 and now 2004. A company, such as DELL changes it's name but not is it symbol. When I download transactions Money asks if the new name is the same investment as the old name (obviously it is as they have the same symbol). I say yes it is the same. Money asks "Are You Sure Dell Computers is the same as Dell Inc". Regardless of how I answer this confirm It asks the first question again, and again and again and again until I admit that Dell Inc is NOT Dell Computer. Only then can I continue the reconcile. Every time I upgrade I wish I did not. I...
bug - type 1-4531 in any cell
In Excel office 2k if you type 1-4351 in any cell the returned value is Jan-51, 2-4531 =Feb-51 etc. you cannot change the format of the cell to display numbers!!! The workaround for this bug is to put an open quote mark in front of the number i.e. '1-4531, as this is the type of number I use regularly it is extremely annoying, has this already been reported and if so is there a fix for it?

I think I've found a bug in Excel 2003
I think I've found a bug: You have two Excel 'books' open in one window. One sheet is protected, the other is not. What I want to do is to paces a reference from one sheet into another (in order to have the second sheet dynamically update). The bug comes up if the sheet your are pasting to is locked. When you go to the window menu to select the second (i.e. locked) sheet, the window changes, but everything is locked out, and the option to switch back to the original window is no longer available. Only what to exit is to crash out of program. -- Dab Cut off: yourhead...

Windows 7 media player 12 hopelessly bugged? Can't rip.
I have just installed windows 7 and media player 12 comes with it. Media player seems to work ok, but when I tried to rip a song I discovered a rather severe bug. I can't rip anything, if I press the rip button it fails instantly. I discovered the likely problem is that under the location where songs are saved on my computer (under options, and ripping settings), there is no path listed in the storage location. The path is blank. You cannot type one in there, it simply won't work. Pressing the "change location" button does absolutely nothing at all! Nice ...
