Can you guys test out (or help me test out) what might be causing Borland Developer Studio 2006 to crash on startup when WindowBlinds is running and it's not excluded using Application Exceptions?
Here are some of my discoveries:
- During startup of BDS2006, an exception happens trying to set up dockable windows and a crash occurs in wblinds.dll
- BDS2006 has actually been running fine on my box with WB5 since it was released. Only today when I needed to uninstall and re-install it did this start occurring.
- BDS2006 has, however, exhibited a redraw glitch when some themes are applied. the way it manifests itself is that if the window is visible when the theme is applied, the top part of the IDE is redrawn going down the screen to the bottom, then resuming again at the top and going down. Almost like it's getting an infinite set of update notifications, each lower than the other. It has a 'dropping curtain' kind of effect.
- None of the 'partial' application exception settings of windowblinds 5 have fixed this.
- The particular theme doesn't matter - I've tried several.
- Once BDS2006 is up, I can start WB5 and apply a theme, and in most cases, the theme WILL skin BDS2006 as well. But if I shut down and restart BDS2006, it crashes again at startup in Wblind.dll
Thanks in advance,
Randy
