I found the answer in an article on Newcomer's site: http://www.flounder.com/updatedata.htm I went through my program and commented out all instances of UpdateData(). Voila – problem gone. I may need to clean up a few problems using the control variables, but the problem that’s been driving me insane is solved. The cursor is unstuck.

Does your dialog have the "clip children" style set? If no, try enabling it and see if it helps. > The problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do and not what you want them to do. < > Sometimes you just have to hate coding to do it well. <

Oh wow. I think this may be it. I did speed it up by getting rid of the folder list, but it's still not as fast as I'd think it should be. Thanks for this!

Not that I know of. You might try taking the height of the font and dividing it in half, since that's how much sticks above the group border.

I never used NLS, but expect NLS to have some lib, mostly Normaliz.lib. U have linking error, so try after including Normaliz.lib for linking. Величие не Бога может быть недооценена.

Same problem here.. Im writting WTL aplication and suddenly for one of my view events list in properties window is gone. By pure luck, I have found solution. In my code view class was inherited from multiple base classes. I have commented one of the classes and event list was empty: class CXXXView : public CDialogImpl<CXXXView>, public CDialogResize<CXXXView>, public CWinDataExchange<CXXXView>, COffscreenDraw<CXXXView>, //public CCtlColored<CXXXView>, CDropFilesHandler, ITimeLineListener I just removed commented line, save h file and events is back. Make sure you have enum { IDD = IDD_XXX_FORM }; in your h file.

I fixed the problem. I still have no idea why the standard call wasn't working on his system. But I changed this: LoadStdProfileSettings(4); to CString strSection = "Recent File List"; CString strEntryFormat = "File%d"; m\_pRecentFileList = new CRecentFileList(1, strSection, strEntryFormat, 4); m\_pRecentFileList->ReadList(); And voila! No crashes - it's working fine. I can't believe I spent a week and a half of my life on this. On the plus side, my startup code is vastly cleaner after 10 days of intense scrutiny.

I'm stuck. I'm only getting this link error in Release mode. In Debug mode it's fine. And I've gone over everything carefully and can see no problems. I've also included error checking everywhere.
