What is the defination of the compile-tiime error: "Out of stack space"...

[ThEiMp]

I am working on using a PictureBox control array on a Form that itself is also a control array. This PictureBox control array, is packed inside a UserControl along with other controls that exist in a control array, themselves. The Form is loaded normally, through the Load statement. Therefore there isn't anything wrong with that. When I try to do a mouse click upon the usercontrol, then I get the compile-time error, that comes up and then crashes the whole application from running, at the current time of events...

!! Thanks in advance !!

In simple words it means that you are exceeding the program memory space allocated to it (assuming you don't want to get into what is program stack etc.).

In more than 99% of the cases it is due to either an endless loop in your program, or one event/method calling the other and the other event/method calling it back again resulting in an endless loop.

I will post my project files, so that you could have a look at them, for me. I guess, that the endless loops exist in the Load statement block, where I must be able to load the controls, to the UserControl???

!! Thanks in advance !!

Have you tried to do a single step debug? You can step through each statement until you hit a problem or it has no problem. Your error could be in the usercontrol

When I have tried a debug, it comes up with no error. I can also place it in a project, and it works fine. But somethings don't work as good, or as fast as they should. That is where, I guess it goes wrong...

Well I really don't want to download 3 zip files (and whay do you need 3 anyway) and try to figure out which is which and what to look for. Stack overflows are not that difficult to catch. You can put message points in your code and run it to see what was the last message from your app before it went into a stack-overflow error. At least you can narrow it down and then we can pursue it on that basis.

-- I will post the relevant source code, that I think that the problem in it...
