Application crashing in window procedure :(

[xoinki]

hi all,
I have a very general question.. My program is crashing in a window procedure...
the sample code is as follows..

[code=cpp]
return CallWindowProc( pccustgrid->m_wporiglistwn dproc, hwnd, message, wparam, lparam);
[/code]

this is a window procedure for a listbox.. sometimes it is crashing while editing the listbox.. actually this listbox is a part of customized grid.. if a user presses tab then he can navigate thru the grid.. and edit.

my question..
wat may be the reasons an application can crash in a window procedure?

Thnx for any replies,
xoinki

The window procedure is just a switch on the message received from DispatchMessage (). Each case is handwritten application code. Just use your debugger and you should be able to see exactly where the crash is occurring.

CallWindowProc expects a C function (__stdcall) and not a member function.

If pccustgrid->m_wporiglistwn dproc is actually a static function (which i am guessing it's not) you need to use pccustgrid::m_w poriglistwndpro c assuming pccustgrid is the name of the class and not an instance

A member function should be OK as long as it is __stdcall (aka WINAPI). Member functions have addresses and can be used as regular functions provided a this pointer is OK for the first argument.

No a member functon is Not OK to pass to CallWindowProc.

Now there are ways to craft a C function to accept and use a this pointer, but in this instance, The first parameter of CallWindowProc already has a set signature and therefore cannot take a member function.

To the OP: Here is a link that should help you understand how to accomplish what you are trying to do

You would have thought I would have checked the docs before saying anything. But no. That's twice today. I need more coffee.
