Resource switching problem with CXTColorP

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,
I am using XTToolkit V4.1 with Visual C++ 7.1 and I have the following problem with CXTColorPopup.
When this popup window is opened, it switches to toolkit resources.
So, as long as this dialog is visible, the main application can not load
any resources. Loading resources from the main application may be necessary, for example, if the main window receives a WM_PAINT message, because the user moves the color picker dialog window, and the main window needs repainting.
Any attempt to load resources from the main application from within my WM_PAINT handler function causes a crash, because LoadString() fails, as long as a color popup window is visible.
The same source code, however, seems to work fine with toolkit version 10.1, but at the moment I do not want to port my application to V10.1.
Is this a bug of toolkit version 4.1? Is there some workaround? 
Can anybody help me?

	Yes, it was bug of 4.1. iin toolkitPro all resources loaded using XTPResourceManager. you can patch sources to remove XT_MANAGE_STATE macros from CXTColorPopup.
