User-defined event crashes TwinBasic

[SomeYguy]

Hi TwinBasic team. You are appreciated!

I found an issue with TB. Perhaps already known. The following code causes TB to keep "Restarting From Memory" when trying to run in the IDE.

Binary build completes successfully but fails silently and will not run.

 Private Sub UpdateColorInfo()
        
        Dim nH As Single, nS As Single, nL As Single
        txtInfo(0).Text = "&H" + Hex(lblCurColor.BackColor)
        txtInfo(1).Text = Color2Long(Trim(txtInfo(2).Text))
        txtInfo(2).Text = ColorToHTML(lblCurColor.BackColor)
      
        RaiseEvent ColorChanged '<-- This crashes TwinBasic.
    End Sub

If I rem out that event call, then all is well. And there is nothing special about the event declaration. Further, the event is not being used outside anywhere

I've also noticed that TB does not always fire certain valid events, including some which are baked into VB6 intrinsic controls.

Anyway, hope this is helpful. Keep up the good work .

Unfortunately I can't use TwinBasic for my project until this is resolved.

Hi, thanks for your report. However, we'll need you to provide a sample to demonstrate the issue as we cannot see any general problem in this regard, so something else is likely influencing it.

@SomeYguy: Create a small Std-EXE project in TB and copy/paste offending code in Form1 which crashes the IDE and post the project here. There is no other way this can be fixed without a small reproducable project which Wayne can open in debugger and sort it out.

My guess is it will be *extremely* difficult for you to create such small repro project as the root cause of the problem you have is in some other part of your large project which if you were able to figure out then no bug-report would need to be filed. Note that Wayne is not offering to debug your large project though he's done this multiple times in the past to figure out obscure bug-reports.

cheers,
