I know I have said this before, but it looks like I may have finally squashed that infamous handle bug. For those not already familiar with this demon, it would cause any PicoGUI object with a handle to randomly disappear. That's what made the date dialog crash when clicked a lot, and that's what makes my wallclock (Yes, I have a picogui-powered clock) crash every day or so. I was working with the handle code, adding the pgDup function. (Duplicates a handle) Looking through the code for mkhandle() I found that it wasn't initializing some of the handlenode's members. Specifically, the 'group' member. The 'group' handle is used to set sort of an autodestruct for a handle, for example so that bitmaps loaded with a theme will be freed when the theme is deleted. Setting this group handle to any random value in effect sets a timebomb. Whenever any present or future handle matching the group handle is deleted, the new handle will be deleted as well. This perfectly matches the symptoms I have seen from the handle bug. Still, this isn't the first time I think I have fixed it. I loaded the latest pgserver into my clock, so I guess time will tell if it has been fixed. -- Only you can prevent creeping featurism! _______________________________________________ Pgui-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pgui-devel
