#113 Sometimes hcedit() crashes

[Aupeix Alain]

Hi, I have this function :

//------------------------
function translate(cprog)
//------------------------
INIT DIALOG oDlg1 CLIPPER NOEXIT TITLE cTitle AT oMainWindow:nLeft+140,oMainWindow:nTop+130  SIZE 940,352 FONT oFont

@ 470,300 BUTTON _("Cancel") OF oDlg1 ID IDCANCEL  ;
SIZE 100, 32 COLOR hwg_ColorC2N("FF0000")

ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg1

After a few of copy/paste, I have sometimes a crash like this :

Daté du 26/09/22 09:05:17
---------------------------------------------
Error BASE/3012  Argument error: HB_UTF8STUFF

I dont know if it's due to the zone where I click to enter in an hcedit function (in the texte or in a zone which is in hcedit but out of the text, but it crashes (program is not closed, and I must kill it)
I don't know, but it seems due to hcedit ...

I have also sometimes another type of crash with this function, but in this case, it closes my program, and it is very talkative in a console. I will send it when it will come again.

Thanks

Good morning Alain,
for saving time please can you complete your sample,
so that it runs with alone with the appended hbp file ?

Hi Wilfried,

I have retrieved this old ticket.

I have build Ticket113.prg using the hbp.
It builds, but crashes when running.

Error BASE/1004  No exported method: SETTEXT
Called from SETTEXT(0)
Called from TRANSLATE(77)
Called from (b)MAIN(24)
Called from HBUTTON:ONEVENT(453)
Called from HWG_ACTIVATEMAINWINDOW(0)
Called from HMAINWINDOW:ACTIVATE(360)
Called from MAIN(26)

If I comment this line, it crashes no more ...

I don't find any reason.

A+

Hello Alain,
the objects oComment_xx , cInfo_xx are not created.
So i look for this ticket the next few days.

Hi Wilfried,

There were a typo in line 77 of Test113.prg ???

@ 10,170  HCEDIT oComment_FR SIZE 450, 60 BACKCOLOR hwg_ColorC2N("FFFFFF") COLOR hwg_ColorC2N("000000")
oInfo_EN:SetText(cInfo_EN,,,,)

instead of :

@ 10,170  HCEDIT oInfo_EN SIZE 450, 60 BACKCOLOR hwg_ColorC2N("FFFFFF") COLOR hwg_ColorC2N("000000")
oInfo_EN:SetText(cInfo_EN,,,,)

which was the reason of :

Error BASE/1004  No exported method: SETTEXT
Called from SETTEXT(0)
Called from TRANSLATE(78)
Called from (b)MAIN(24)
Called from HBUTTON:ONEVENT(453)
Called from HWG_ACTIVATEMAINWINDOW(0)
Called from HMAINWINDOW:ACTIVATE(360)ginal 
Called from MAIN(26)

Probably because oInfo_EN was NIL ...

But I must retest the original crash, because I don't remember the problem ...

Thanks
A+

Hello Alain,
with commit r3225 i added the corected sample program
in the "test" directory, please check.

Be shure, that the object names are corresponding:
(for example)

HCEDIT oComment_FR ... && ==> object created, so after this the methods can be called
oComment_FR:SetText(cInfo_FR,,,,)

I appended the screenshot made on Windows 11,
but of corse i done a test on LINUX.
