BUG: Navigate(2) Causes Access Violation in Shdocvw.dllLast reviewed: March 17, 1998Article ID: Q182490 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSCalling Navigate or Navigate2 causes an access violation in Shdowvw.dll. The error that is reported is "(showdocvw.dll): 0xC0000005: Access Violation".
CAUSEThis is caused by passing NULLs to the Navigate or Navigate2 methods like this:
m_WebBrowser.Navigate2(pUrl, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);Navigate(2) expects a pointers to VARIANTs. The access violation is due to the fact that the WebBrowser control is trying to write to the memory pointed to by one of these parameters. When you pass NULL for one or more of these parameters, the WebBrowser control tries to write to the NULL memory. This causes the access violation.
RESOLUTIONYou must pass the address of empty VARIANTs to the Navigate or Navigate2 methods. Typically, this can be accomplished with the following C++ code:
VARIANT vtEmpty; vtEmpty.vt = VT_EMPTY;However, using the compiler's native support for OLE is usually much easier. Use the following code to take advantage of the compiler's native support.
_variant_t vtEmpty; // nothing further neededIf you are using MFC, the COleVariant class can be used to created an empty VARIANT. The default constructor for COleVariant sets the type of the VARIANT to VT_EMPTY. Here is the MFC code:
COleVariant vtEmpty;Then, you pass the vtEmpty variable to the Navigate or Navigate2 method like so:
m_WebBrowser.Navigate2(pUrl, &vtEmpty, &vtEmpty, &vtEmpty, &vtEmpty); STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
