[vb6]Common Dialog Class (Yet Another One)

[LaVolpe]

@DerWise. I think I may have it but am not sure.

In your copy of the class, can you make the following changes, for testing only. We are going to take the sItems() array out of pvInitStructure and move it to the declarations section:

1. Add this at top of declarations section: Private sItems() As String
2. In pvInitStructure method...
a. remove sItems from the DIM statements
b. remove the line: Erase sItems()

Now try it.

Sorry, still hangs but slightly differently.
1. It now takes about 1 second after I click SAVE before the hang
2. The Fault Module shown is propsys.dll

One more question:
We use MANY absolute variables declared in several modules.
I didn't see any in your code.
Still is there a chance we step on something of yours?
(I found one, pIndex, and changed it to be safe, but there can be many others.

Thanks!

Absolutely not. In a VB class, variables referenced are those in the procedure first, class declarations second, then global ones (not applicable here).

One thing has me confused still. You said that the sample project that came with the zip did not crash? Even if you go and change the filter in the sample code?

Grasping at straws here. If you set the Flags property to DLG__BaseSaveDialogFlags any change? Another question, is this only with the Save dialog or the Open dialog also, when using the same filter?

And finally, do you have the most recent Win7 service pack installed? I can find many hits on the web for SetFileTypes (filter) crashing Win7, but am not finding anything that looks like it applies to the class I wrote. Your description sounds almost like the Dialog is trying to access some variable after it closes, after the class released and cleared all of its variables. To test that idea, simply do not set the class to nothing and see if the error continues.
