PBForms 1.5 - PBres error

[Brad Stephens]

I am getting an error message from PBres ( Ver 1.61.0.0 ) when trying to save a dialog that has been re-opened ( save,exit forms and re-open ) and subsequently modified ( say, add button ).
OS is XP Pro, error message is "error creating .BPR resource"
Attempting "Save As" shows same error.

Any Ideas ?

Hi Brad,

I have got the same problem. So we can be sure that it is not
our code what is wrong.

I tried it with several new forms: create, close, reopen, add or
change something, than no save is possible.

I think it is a bug in PBForms!

By the way I tried to contact the support on this problem.

Guys, if you add an icon to a dialog in the project, does PBRES still GPF when you save the project?

Also, if you have dual-boot PC's or more than one PC running a different O/S, does the problem occur there too?

Thanks!

Hi Lance,

now some more information.

I am using Windows 2000 on a pentium 3 (single cpu), no network.
And hier are the steps to the error:

- open PBForms
- New Dialog
- adding a button
- save
- closing PB Forms
- open PBForms
- loading last dialog automatically
- adding a button again
Now trying to save causes that error.

...and if you add a dialog icon?

Sorry Lance,

i think i did not read everything of your answer.

Adding a dialog icon makes it possible to save a modified
form. Now it works but still is a bug.

But now i wonder why i cannot see the icon i had to add!

Do Í have to add anything else - - to see the icon ?

My test says that if you add an Icon to a new form and then click
APPLY then OK the Icon reverts to NO Icon.

If I add an Icon and just click OK everything is fine.

(The APPLY BUTTON removes the Icon.)

The ID Editor shows the proper Icon.

that is right and sure it is another bug in PBForms 1.5,
but my fault was that i forgot to set the %WS_SYSMENU property.

I never understood what the APPLY button was for anyway.
NOT a bug, just to many buttons.

Lance,
Just adding say, an image control to the work dialog still resulted in the GPF.
Selecting an icon for the image control and the problem dissappeared => no GPF.

Ok, it looks like there is a problem on *some* versions of Windows when the RC file is effectively void of content.

I'll have to ask R&D to determine if this is a PBRES or a PBFORMS issue.

In the mean time, try adding a version resource to the project instead of an icon.

Moving right along, I'll see if I can duplicate the icon issue here. Thanks folks!

And certainly, adding an icon to the dialog ( OK , not APPLY to keep it visible ) also clears the problem.
