Size Event giving terrible problems... Hopefuly easy to fix Topic is solved

[parad0x13]

I have the code:

Code: Select all

EVT_SIZE(RenderFrm::OnSize)

void RenderFrm::OnSize(wxSizeEvent& event)
{
	RenderCanvasLink->CenterOnParent();
}

and I am getting an 'Access violation reading location' error!

If I use a different type of event such as:

Code: Select all

EVT_CLOSE(RenderFrm::OnClose)

void RenderFrm::OnClose(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
	RenderCanvasLink->CenterOnParent();
}

I get absolutely no problems... I don't know why the Size Event is not allowing memory to be read...

Does anyone know how to rectify this problem?

- Thank You

Make sure RenderCanvasLink is a valid pointer. It's possible Size events are sent before the window becomes initially visible, if you're not creating your RenderCanvasLink object before then, you'll be trying to dereference a bad pointer.

To confirm, you can try zeroing the pointer during RenderFrm's ctor and only dereference it if it's nonzero:

Code: Select all

RenderFrm::RenderFrm(...) : wxFrame(...)
{
  RenderCanvasLink = NULL;
  ...
}

void RenderFrm::OnSize(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
  if(RenderCanvasLink != NULL)
    RenderCanvasLink->CenterOnParent();
}
