 Topic: CXTTrayIcon crashes on creationPosted: 09 February 2009 at 3:54pm |

Hello all,
It seems that at least 2 users have reported (and I've narrowed it down using message boxes) that the following line crashes: if (!m_TrayIcon.Create( _T("My Program"), // Toolktip text this, // Parent window IDI_ICONTRAY, // Icon resource ID IDR_MAIN_POPUP, // Resource ID of popup menu IDR_RESTORE, // Default menu item for popup menu false)) // True if default menu item is located by position { I cannot reproduce it on any of my test boxes, so cannot really see exactly what's going wrong. Has anyone experienced somethig similar? Is there a fix? Thanks! Dennis |

Yes, sorry - I've updated the signature, but it appears that existing messages are not updated with it.
It's MFC 12.1.1 compiled as a static link using VS2005. |

Ah, it has updated now - I guess I didn't successfully update the profile before...

Hi, I don't see something in Create method that can crash :( There was problem with some old 10.x release it was fixed - maybe these users use your old application ?

No, they're using 12.1.1 for sure. I did find out one interesting thing - at least one of them somehow (third-party or whatever, I don't know yet fully) modified their Start menu and taskbar. Maybe that's the reason. The only potential problem in the Create method is the creation of the window, but I am also surprised why that would crash. I'm still investigating this with a user and hopefully I'll be able to recreate his modified environment and get that crash.

Usually, when Create() fails it's due to a faulty doctemplate-string. Perhaps the resource is damaged?
Just a guess!

The resources should be fine, because it works for 99.9% of users :)
I have some more information from the user, I'll just quote him below: "My StartKiller is a free utility that I got here: http://www.tordex.com/startkiller/ - I use the 32bit edition The other tweak that I use is Emerge Desktop (http://emergedesktop.org/). This is a replacement windows shell. I implemented this to remove the task bar altogether. I navigate my system with a tool called Launchy and some Auto Hot Key (AHK) scripts." |

And that brings up another question - is there a way to check whether the tray icon has been created? It doesn't appear to have m_hWnd or anything like that, so I'm not sure what to check.
Thanks! |

Hi,
Think problem can be in "Emerge Desktop" he use. Think you return from Init Function if Create return False. guess you can ignore it instead.
if (!m_TrayIcon.Create( _T("My Program"), // Toolktip text this, // Parent window IDI_ICONTRAY, // Icon resource ID IDR_MAIN_POPUP, // Resource ID of popup menu IDR_RESTORE, // Default menu item for popup menu false)) // True if default menu item is located by position { // Pity but don't return from function/

Yes, I've changed my code to survive if the tray icon fails to create.
