WPTools 7 - Access Violation in component destruction

  • Our software uses WPTools version 7.21 and we have been using it for a while. Recently I am getting crash reports from users caused by an Access Violation in the function TWPCustomRtfEdit.Notification. The stack trace shows it is entirely in Windows or WPTools code following a form close operation. Is there a known issue, and if so would upgrading the version solve the problem?

    I recommend to use the latest WPTools 9.2 since WPTools 7 is retired since 2017. It also compiles with Delphi 5, with some limitation in the UTF8 area,

    The AV may be a double free of an object anywhere in the project. You can check by using FastMem.

    If the destructor makes problems you can add code to the Form.OnClose to free components manually:

    acomponent.Parent := nil;

    acomponent.Free;

    Then you hopefully get more information in the debugger.

  • Hi Julian,

    Here's a print out from the Madshi bug report. Maybe this is sufficient. If not, I'll try manual freeing as suggested and see what that outputs.
