Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Problem with graphic application

[Jeremy W. <jez...@ho...>]

Hi,
Dealing with your last question first. All GUI toolkits have "problems" and are prone to crashing when things go wrong internally. 
What version of Perl and Win32::GUI are you using? I couldn't see any leak with Tutorial_Part1_hello1.pl? Is your crash random? Or is it due to running out of memory? Does the application crash when you use the menu system, or shortly after?
How are you changing the colors on the controls? Are you using the change method? If so, this is the cause of the leak, see the tracker item:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2864551&group_id=16572&atid=116572
I know it's a pain to do, but could you produce a minimal example that crashes and leaks? I'll take a look (feel free to email off list). 
Cheers,
jez.
