BUG: Common Dialog GP-Fault on ESC Key with Mouse Button Down

Last reviewed: January 5, 1995
Article ID: Q83009

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

In an application that uses the File Open or Save As dialog box from the Common Dialogs dynamic-link library (DLL), when the user opens a combo box with the mouse, holds down the left mouse button, and then presses the ESC key to close the dialog box, a GP-fault occurs.

RESOLUTION

You can ignore the faults that result from calling GetOpenFileName() and GetSaveFileName() without incident. There are as many as eight warnings before control is returned to the application.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Common Dialogs DLL version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
