We are using XTToolkit version 18.5, and encounter regular crashes in our application.
We have already found out that these crashes happen when users have a password manager (such as StickyPassword) installed and activated.
The crash then occurs when one of our application windows is closed, and the call stack then always contains something like:

So, the UIAutomationCore seems to be involved, which is a part of the Windows UI Automation service. Apparently, StickyPassword uses this service to access UI elements in other applications.
Is this a 'known' problem for the XTToolkit, and how might we circumvent this?
Or does the XTToolkit need a fix to be able to live side by side with UI Automation like tools?

Kind regards, Harm Bakker

Were you able to figure anything out on this? We're seeing crashes that appear to be related to uiautomationcore.dll as well.

Hi,
This makes me think about issue we had on startup. Application does not crash but is frozen when loading. Happens when 3rd party application are installed on the machine, typically like password manager or fingerprint reader.
Fortunately, this was magically fixed when upgrading toolkitpro from 18.4 to 18.6
Maybe not the same issue as yours, but might worth to test with XTP 18.6

Hello,

This problem occurs during using SkinFramework?
If yes use ExcludeModule("XXX.DLL")

There is no any visible evidence that it is caused by ToolkitPro at all. The initial screen shot does not have any ToolkitPro stack trace entry. ToolkitPro cannot be responsible for whatever some password manager is doing in a scope of a process it is injected into. It still may be some subtle conflict that all or some involved parties can be responsible for, but it is not sufficient information provided to make any such conclusion.

I can only suggest the following:
 1. Start disabling/removing a pieces of code until you have an absolutely bare minimum of the code necessary for a crash to be reproducible
 2. Look for any apparent evidences that it is caused by ToolkitPro either directly or indirectly
 3. Try to eliminate any possible conflicts with 3rd-party components or side-effects
 4. Open a new support ticket with all your finding including the test project uploaded, provide detailed description of the system and development environment configuration

Thank you
Alexander
