Hi,

I have a problem with the wxChoice widget,  I have duplicated this
behaviour  with the controls sample and so I am almost sure it's not me :)

If I click to expand the choice box and drag to the desired item without
releasing the mouse button, then all is well.  If on the other hand I click
once on the widget to expand the choice list and release the mouse button,
then move to the desired item and click it, the program often crashes.
This behavior appears to occur using wxWidgets 2.6.0 and I think on at
least some of the later 2.5.x builds.

Any ideas.  I am using the current version of dmc on Windows 98 SE.  On
Windows XP I get a similar problem, instead of a program crash the choice
list folds itself up again and ignores the new selection in the
circumstance that causes the crash with 98.

I am using the latest platform SDK and stlport 4.5.3.

Regards

Craig

I just tried BCC (unicode, release) and DMC (ansi, debug) builds
and I cannot duplicate this following your descruption.

I use latest SDK with free VC and doesn't show this problem too so most
probably 
it's stlport. Could you please try without stlport usage?

Hi,

I have rebuilt my app using the default stl instead of stlport and the
behavior is the same on XP, but is now apparently working on Win98.  I hate
intermittent bugs!

I will use this build for a while and see if it does fail eventually.

The controls sample did  seem to work correctly on XP with stlport removed
from the include path.

Regards

Hi,

A quick update, the newly built (using stl not stlport) version has just
crashed.

Thanks for your testing. Can you continue by checking without external SDK?
I mean, start from pure free dmc...

Hi,

I have just built wxWidgets 2.6.1 using the DMC CD version and only the CD
version of STL referenced.  The behavior as above was still found.

I have now created a small app (using an unregistered version of
DialogBlocks) containing only a single frame with just  a wxChoice with a
compile time set list of seven items.  This I have compiled against my
2.6.1 build mentioned above and this also shows the behavior as described
in the original post.  This new test app does not actually use STL or much
else, indeed the code is entirely auto-generated by DialogBlocks.  I can
send you sources for this test app if you like.

Regards

Craig
