GFABasic32 Bug in the latest version with Extentions - Win10

[Roger Cabo]

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure why, but in the latest version of GB32 from March 2022 i got a very ugly bug.
Every time I started GB32 it crashed completely.

After several days, I found out that it seems the extension  GfaWin32.gll fail with any issues.
I used an older version of GFA and it works nice with the same source code, but without the GfaWin32

>>> Then I tried to delete the GfaWin32 entry from the Extension Manager and the crash happen again.
>>> If load MRU is enabled and the source code is loaded, Crash!

>>> If load MRU is disabled and no source code is loaded, then GB32 doesn't crash... when deleting the GfaWin32 entry from the Extension Manager.
>>> But as long as the source code is loaded and the GfaWin32,gll is loaded as well, GB32 crash/hang on Run.

I think it has do to with the 3D Command .appearance = 0'flach
Tried to do my best to describe the error.

Don't examine the code to much! It pretty rough atm.

What role does dp24.dll play?

I am just curious.

I can't find any reference via Google.

Your code seems to indicate it is FTP related...

Declare LIB "dp24.DLL"
 Declare Function FtpInit(ByVal HWND As Handle) As Integer
.
.
.  
 FTP_StartTraceInfo("--- START FTP Session ---")

Yes. To connect to a ftp server. But its disabled in this code.. does currently nothing.

If you have security reasons, you can simply delete the dll and functions completely.

Hi,
I have no problems running the code as you posted it in the latest version of GFABasic with GfaWin32.gll enabled. When I get a chance, I'll try this on my other computers.
Anyone else have a problem with this code?

Seems OK to me under Windows 10.

This may be a clue or not.

From: GFA Help, LoadForm Command, Load Event mentions:

Client3D set WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, overrules Appearance

If I try this:

LoadForm frm1 Client3D, 0, 0

I get:

What version is GFA reporting under the Help & About?

This is the "wonky" install that I am getting even with a fresh latest GFA setup zip file.

I think the problem is a corrupted OS on my part. 

The latest install worked fine on another PC.
