OK I was wrong that didn't totally fix it. But now I have. I still don't know what is happening but it is in StrPCopy that has the problem. I still used the array[] of char but now I wrote my own StrPCopy routine.

Just a loop in the code

for I := 1 to length(signal) do
   gSignal[I - 1] := signal[I];
gSignal[I] := #0;

with that instead of the StrPCopy the gtk_signal_connect is happy as a clam and does it's thing. So something must be wrong with StrPCopy.

I can't get the program running now because it throws and unhandled exception which gives

At end of ExceptionAddresStack

Getting there. :-\

Well I know were it is but not sure why. Didn't go that deep yet.

gtk_widget_show (fComponent)

called in

TWinControl.Show

by

TMenuBar.Show

is what is throwing the exception. I placed the gtk_widget_show in a try..except block to trap it and just print a writeln telling me if this did throw it. Sure enough that is were it came from. With that block in there the program continued on but later on it just cored.

We'll have to trace back through and find out if some of the variables are set to the correct values or what is exactly going on.

talk to you folks tomorrow. Please email ASAP when you figure it out. FTP it to your site again.

Too late for me to keep working. After 11:00 and I have to be up by 5:30 so I'm calling it.

By the way this is starting to get fun again. :-)

Tomorrow. :-)

Yes, I tried the same thing before FTPing it and it threw an exception. Not sure why though. Seems to throw it after iut assigns the MenuBar to the form (or during).

Hopefully by tomorrow you'll have it figured out. :-)
