Ok, I added the vgui_controls lib to my project and got it debugging.
Which led me to discover that it isn't a problem within the control
itself, rather a problem with the pointer to the control. Because I
was worried that the extra 2 uninitialised elements in the array may
have been causing this weird pointer error, I made it a singular
pointer object. The results are as follows. At this point:
m_pPrimaryWeaponComboBox[CLASSLOADOUT_RIFLEMAN]->AddItem("M1 Garand",
primaryweapon);
The memory location of m_pPrimaryWeaponComboBox is 0x0f632978.
At the point where I try to read the keyvalues of the active element,
the pointer is now 0x0f6346b8.
I've never seen a pointer do this. Does anyone know the usual causes of this?
Thanks for the help so far guys, hopefully we can get to the bottom of
this because I'm sure if I do it, others will too. ;)
