Special RTL to track down missing menu bug
SV has released a special RTL build for C7.2 to help track down the missing menu bug. From a newsgroup post by Bob Z:
There are several reports about Menu items missing at Runtime. Restarting the program restores the missing items.
Attached to PTSS report 36756 is a special variant of the C7 RTL that outputs debug information about the Menu and its Menu items to help isolate this problem.
If you have seen this problem in your program you can help us isolate and fix the problem with the following steps:
- unzip the attached C70RUN.dll into your APP folder (_NOT_ your IDE BIN folder)
- start DbgView.exe (download DbgView.exe from
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647.aspx )
- run your APP
- if you see Menu items are missing, exit the APP
- switch to DgView and do File->Save and then post an attachment to PTSS 36756 to this report with the DbgView log file
- when you post the DbgView log, remember to specify which Menu items were missing
- to post an attachment to the PTSS report open the PTSS report and press the hyperlink " Add additional information on this report..."
- in addition, in the attachment (if possible) please include the program your
were running. In the very least please specify what Menu Style (if any) that you were using, a copy of the WINDOW structure containing the Menu, and specify the OS you saw the problem on.
Thanks, and I hope this helps to quickly resolve this rare but very important bug.
