It appears to be crashing before you even get a license, or before it ever gets a chance to print out the licensing info. The only verbosity level you can change is that of the renderer. On Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 11:44 AM, Félix-Antoine Fortin < felix-antoine.for...@calculquebec.ca> wrote: > Hi, >

That should work. That's how they do it in the PSetUIDemo\cppsrc\PSetUIDemoCPP.cpp //Redraw the PPG to show the new combo items ctx.PutAttribute(L"Refresh",true); Maybe you need the L prefix? On Wed, Nov 27, 2013 at 2:17 PM, Guillaume Laforge < guillaume.laforge...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > >
