Getting crash report from freezed program
-
I'm using custom handler for unhandled exception to generate crash dump file in my application (using XCrashReport). The problem is that it does not handle crash when progeram is freezed and user closes it using task manager. Is there a way how to run my exception handler in this case? It is difficult to explain users when they will find drwatson's crash results (and I think it is different in different windows versions). Thank you.

I do not think that an application can trap being terminated by Task Manager - too much potential for abuse there, IMHO. One thing you can try is to create your own
watchdog. Create a separate thread whoses sole purpose in life is to send a message (likeWM_NULL) to the main message pump every 10 seconds or so usingSendMessageTimeout(...)with an approporiate timeout. If the timeout expires, intentionally crash the application by doing something like dereferencing aNULL. Maybe that will cause the SEH handler to fire and give you more information about the state of the application? Peace!-=- James
