Unexpected General Protection Violation

Hi All,

I have a very weird issue that I wonder if anyone else has seen or resolved.  Running Pdox 11.0.0.411 on Windows 7, I get an Unexpected General Protection Violation EVERY time I pass my mouse over a point on the Status Bar just above where the Start button on the Task Bar is located and anywhere to the left side of the Pdox window from that point to the left.

This happens whether I have Auto Hide activated or not for the task bar.  Aside from the aggravation, it does not seem to have any impact on my data or or anything else.  This happens on more than one of my computers with the same configuration.

 I am not a Paradox guy, but see what happens if you put the task bar at the top of the screen.

Hi WebDezinz,

Thanks for your reply.  I tried moving the Windows Task Bar and the message still appears.  It is the mouse over on the Pdox Task Bar that triggers the bogus GPV message.  However, I can go to Paradox Tool Bars and turn off the Task Bar, test a rollover in the area then Open the Pdox Task Bar again and the problem is gone.  It is a pain but seems to solve the error.  One day I'll try to figure out how to code the apps to close then reopen the task bar.

I have a feeling it is an Easter Egg by a disgruntled employee, somewhere in the Paradox food chain.  It reminds me of a random message generator that I programmed into an app which popped a humorous message after a random number of mouse overs on a remote spot on the form.  The staff seemed to like it but never figured out what triggered it.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Happened to dig this up from an old post as well?

This is what I have in the start up script of all my applications on P10.

ShowApplicationBar(True)
sleep()
ShowApplicationBar(False)

It fixes the error when you move the mouse over the start button.

Wow - that was great.  I didn't even have to think it through.  It's a plus of course that it works!

Thanks a lot WebDezinz
