Hi,

My users are experiencing GPF problems when exiting their apps. It only happens when their apps contain both the CommandBars and the Calendar controls together, AND you try and get the IDispatch of the Calendar AND at least one button on the CommandBars is pressed.

I know this sounds very strange, but I've created a small control app just to prove this and if ALL of the above is true, then it GPFs when the app closes. So far, I've tested the GPF fault in Windows XP (various service packs), and in Windows Vista. Apparently, the problem doesn't happen if you have Vista SP1 applied allthough I've still got to personally test this.

The main reason I need the IDispatch of the Calendar control is to attach a DatePicker. I did try and attach the DatePicker via the Calendar's 'hWnd' but this didn't work.

This is quite a serious problem and I could do with a response on this sooner rather than later. I did add an earlier posting requesting you add a way to get the Idispatch of the Calendar saving me using the built in method within my development environment - but I've not had any response from you on it. Somebody else however has reported the same fault - so at least I know I'm not going mad.

Many thanks in advance,

Regards,

Andy Wilton

Hi, would you mind sharing your solution?

Yes, sorry about that I should have posted the solution earlier.

It turned out to be my fault. I wasn't releasing certain resource objects (eg, RemindersDialog or DatePicker) correctly, and this was causing the app to GPF on exit, but only under certain conditions.

Once I corrected my code - ALL of the GPF issues were resolved.

Regards,

Andy
