That would be an idea but, you cannot know the "BadLib.dll"; I mean, I could exclude a certain DLL (like "HP_Driver.dll") but there could always be a new one (like "Canon_Driver.dll")

I posted a better solution but the comment was not approved yet :P

Probably, your exe loads a dll/ocx that is not compatible with the skinning hook. Look in your "Output window" and see if a suspicious DLL (presumably with GUI) is loaded when printing. Then do the following:
 
XTPSkinManager()->ExcludeModule("BadLib.dll");

I figure out to make a fix (not the best) for the problem:

void CXTPSkinManagerApiHook::InitializeHookManagement()
{
   .........

        if (XTPSkinManager()->GetAutoApplyNewThreads() == TRUE )
        {
            ADDHOOK("KERNEL32.DLL", LoadLibraryA);
            ADDHOOK("KERNEL32.DLL", LoadLibraryW);
            ADDHOOK("KERNEL32.DLL", LoadLibraryExA);
            ADDHOOK("KERNEL32.DLL", LoadLibraryExW);
            ADDHOOK("KERNEL32.DLL", GetProcAddress);
            ADDHOOK("KERNEL32.DLL", GetModuleHandleA);

            ADDHOOK("KERNEL32.DLL", CreateThread);
        }

    ..................
}

So, the problem is due to one (or more from the hooks above)

You can reproduce it on Windows Vista or XP with the official drivers from HP LaserJet 1320 printers (I guess other HP drivers, too). Just try to repeat a few times the print preview / configure options in a default application with skins.

Hi,

I have an application which uses the skin framework:

    XTPSkinManager()->SetApplyOptions( ... );
    XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin( ... );

Nothing special and everything works nice util I need to print something. Then, the application carshes (more exactley, the crash is in a thread related to the driver); somehow, the printer driver interfes with the skin manager.

The cause it's pretty obvious because the crash doesn't appear when the skin manager it's not activated.

I tried to disable the skins for the printing module - but the crashes appear again.

    XTPSkinManager()->SetAutoApplyNewWindows( FALSE );
    XTPSkinManager()->SetAutoApplyNewThreads( FALSE );

or even:

    XTPSkinManager()->RemoveAll();

The problem it's pretty bad since, at this point I have to decide wheather I keep the skin or the crashes.

Do you have any idea how I could fix (or avoid) this ?
