DialogBox fail in XP
-
Hi everybody, I have a console application, that create a dialog box to show a progress bar. This has worked fine for years (it started as a Visual Studio 6 project, then I migrated it to Studio 2005) Now, I have migrated it to Studio 2010. It still works fine under Windows 7, but under XP, the dialog box returns -1, with a GetLastError() of 0. When I look at the messages sent to the dialog box, then I see WM_SETFONT, followed by WM_DESTROY and WM_NCDESTROY. I call it as DialogBox (hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE (IDD_MAPPER), HWND_DESKTOP, DialogProc), where DialogProc is defined as INT_PTR CALLBACK DialogProc(HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM); Like I said: it all worked fine and still does in Windows 7, but XP does not seem to co-operate anymore. Anybody any ideas? Would be grately appreciated! Thanks in advance, William

It is most likely the manifest. When I converted my projects to VS2010, it changed all my manifests to use urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2 in this line:
Awesome
Also, please check if you still using the manifest loaded via RT_MANIFEST resource. You need to delete this from resource and use the project settings. VS2010 has a habit of assigning RT_MANIFEST to 2, making the program unusable under XP. And of cause you need to check this linker option: MinimumRequiredVersion. It should be 5.00.

Thanks for your answer, but I cannot find much out of the ordinary. I am not very well familiar with the manifest, but it looks to be generated by Studio2010? Anyway, it reads: There is no RT_MANIFEST mentioned in the resource Also, the MinimumRequiredVersion is left blank, so I don't expect any difficulties there! In any case: the program itself runs and it does everything up untill the point that I start the dialog box. (and everything after that dialogbox crashes) There are a number of log statements before and after and I see everyone of them. Only everything that occurs from within the dialogbox doe not appear in XP.

YES! Thank you very much! I had commented that one out, since Studio 2005 at the time said it was no longer necessary! Including it again did the trick! Thank you very much!
