    CFileDialog crash in Platform SDK

    I have installed Platform SDK Windows Server 2003 (I work in VS 6.0 on WinXP) and I have a problem with CFileDialog.

    This code
    Code:
    void CFileTestView::OnViewFile() 
    {
      CFileDialog dlg(TRUE);
      dlg.DoModal();
    }
    worked just fine before defining _WIN32_WINNT, which I need to use different functions and constants. Now, when I define it
    Code:
    #ifndef _WIN32_WINNT
    #define _WIN32_WINNT  0x0501
    #endif
    my code just crashes in ~CFileDialog (when dlg does out of scope and is destroyed). Since m_ofn member of CFileDialog depends on this _WIN32_WINT:
    Code:
    typedef struct tagOFN { 
    // ...
    #if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0500)
      void *        pvReserved;
      DWORD         dwReserved;
      DWORD         FlagsEx;
    #endif // (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0500)
    } OPENFILENAME
    I rewrote the code this way:
    Code:
    void CFileTestView::OnViewFile() 
    {
    CFileDialog dlg(TRUE);
    
    #if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0500)
    	dlg.m_ofn.pvReserved = NULL;
    	dlg.m_ofn.dwReserved = 0;
    	dlg.m_ofn.FlagsEx = 0;
    #endif
    
    dlg.DoModal();
    }
    but I still get a first-chance exception in FileTest.Exe (KERNEL32.dll) 0xC0000005: Access Violation (the usual stuff).

    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Re: CFileDialog crash in Platform SDK

    Yeah. It's a bug in Windows, brought out by declaring WINVER equal to or greater than 500. I've had the same problem in VC++ 6.0.

    You can get around it by declaring your CFileDialog object on the stack, eg.:
    Code:
    {
       CFileDialog *pFD = new CFileDialog( TRUE );
       pFD->DoModal();
      // etc.
      // etc.
      delete pFD;
    }

    Thanks TSYS. It worked.

    Now I have to go back in this 200 KLOC project and replace dozens of CFileDialog with CFileDialog*...

    Re: CFileDialog crash in Platform SDK

    Now, there's a real bad news: if I derive CFileDialog I still have that problem:

    Code:
    CMyFileDialog : public CFileDialog
    {
      // all the stuff
    };
    Code:
    {
       CMyFileDialog *pFD = new CMyFileDialog( TRUE );
       pFD->DoModal();
       delete pFD;  // first-chance exception...
    }

    Re: CFileDialog crash in Platform SDK

    Haven't run into that, but then I rarely derive from CFileDialog. You may have to lift the source code from Microsoft and fix the bug yourself.

    }
    After you call DoModal, try calling other method - if it fails, you need to remove the 'delete'. WHY?

    Well, that just a guess/suggestion - it may be that CFileDialog, when allocated in heap, might be calling "delete this" in it's PostNCDestroy. Just like Frame and Views - I know frame/views are always allocated in heap not in stack. But this may be the case...

    Re: CFileDialog crash in Platform SDK

    No, that's not the case. I can call any method after DoModal() and it works. It only crashes at delete.

    Re: CFileDialog crash in Platform SDK

    All this seems to be problem with 'pvReserved' data member. Try setting it to NULL before you delete. You may also try IsBadWritePtr/IsBadReadPtr on 'pvReserved' and/or to dialog object itself.

    Re: CFileDialog crash in Platform SDK

    If you look at my first post you see that I already set pvReserved to NULL and dwReserved to 0. After calling DoModal(), they are unchanged, NULL and 0. And I also set lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAME).
    Code:
    dlg->m_ofn.lStructSize = sizeof (OPENFILENAME);

    Re: CFileDialog crash in Platform SDK

    I suggest you to find out the solution in stack version of your class, because making changes this way would increase problems. For the time being, it is better to "ignore" something and move forward...

    Re: CFileDialog crash in Platform SDK

    I am also having the same error....
    Code:
    	CFileDialog f(true,NULL,NULL,OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST|OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST|OFN_HIDEREADONLY,
    		"...",
    		this);
    	
    	
     	if(f.DoModal() != IDOK)
    			return; // HERE

    Re: CFileDialog crash in Platform SDK

    From what I see in MSDN, 0x0501 means Windows XP and Windows .NET Server. Perhaps you need a different value for 2003?

    EDIT: I see now you've mentioned 2003.

    Re: CFileDialog crash in Platform SDK

    MFC70 has 7th parameter to give the sizeof OPENFILENAME structure, which does not exist in MFC42 (6.0v). We can set it as:
    Code:
    f.m_ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAME);
    While debugging this thing, I found that 'lStructSize' is 76, which when the above code comes, becomes 88. I have defined
    Code:
    #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x500
    in stdafx.h (before ALL headers).
    Instead of this CFileDialog is compiled using OLD value of _WIN32_WINNT, and my code is compiled using new value (88 shows!).

    WHY??

    Re: CFileDialog crash in Platform SDK

    Worth mentioning that I am using this thing, so that new-style dialog box (History, My computer, Network Places) appear on my dialog. I got success in that, but not AV problem!

    Re: CFileDialog crash in Platform SDK

    I think your problem might have something to do with the precompiled headers.Try defininning that value in the project settings ( ++ options) and not in your code.
