FIX: GPF When Drag-Drop Resources Between Two Resource Scripts

• Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, versions 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When you drag-and-drop resources between two Resource Scripts and then try to undo the drag-and-drop, Visual C++ terminates the action with an Application Error (general protection (GP) fault). This happens only when you try to undo it while the resource that was dragged and dropped is left open.

RESOLUTION

Without opening the resource kit that was dragged and dropped select Undo.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++, version 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Open or create a resource script that contains at least one resource (for example, a Dialog resource).



2. Open or create another Resource Script. Drop the dialog resource into this file, and open it.



3. With this dialog resource open, shift the focus back to the first resource script file.



4. Select Undo the Drag-and-Drop. At this point, an application error appears.
