Runtime Error does not specify program???
in [MFC]

From: Anonymous User on 12 Mar 2010 09:06 Hi, We are getting a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library error box that simply says "Runtime Error!" The "Program:" part has nothing past it. I have some questions: #1 - Is there a log file somewhere which may identify the process having the error, or more detail we can look at? #2 - Why might the program part be empty? I've seen plenty of web examples where the process exe name is supposed to be specified. #3 - How can I identify what process or EXE is causing the error? #4 - If I can't identify it, is there a way to suppress or disable this error message. We do not notice any change on this server or something not working after the error... Thanks, Alan
From: Tom Serface on 12 Mar 2010 15:18 Not sure how to address the issue, but I've had this problem before and, in my case, it indicated a problem in a DLL that was early loaded before the program name was assigned in the application. It could be a problem in another DLL. It might look like your program is running OK, but perhaps it will fail when you try something intrinsic to the extern lib that fails? I don't know if this helps, but I figure it's always worth mentioning...

From: Joseph M. Newcomer on 13 Mar 2010 22:39 I had one of these once and had to track it down by using Spy++ to examine the dialog box and find its parent, its process ID, etc. My recollection was that the parent was NULL and I had to use the process ID to find it; fortunately, I was able to get this from Spy++ and use Task Manager to determine which process it was. I have no idea why it doesn't have the program name in it. What runtime error? Ususlly it gives a number if not an explanation. The "Run Time Error" message are usually lthe result of compiling module with one of the /RTC options, and tend to be things like using uninitialized local variables, stack overflow, stack sync errors (looke for CDECL/STDCALL errors), etc. joe On Fri, 12 Mar 2010 08:06:34 -0600, "Anonymous User" <nospam38925(a)forme.com> wrote: >Hi, > >We are getting a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library error box that simply >says "Runtime Error!" > >The "Program:" part has nothing past it. > >I have some questions: > >#1 - Is there a log file somewhere which may identify the process having the >error, or more detail we can look at? > >#2 - Why might the program part be empty?

From: Anonymous User on 16 Mar 2010 09:15 Hi, I couldn't find anything about Spy++ with a search. I used a tool I wrote a long time ago to get a window handle of the window. I then fed that to GetWindowThreadProcessId and got: csrss.exe Is this a normal process that needs the VC runtime library? Any other ideas? Thanks, Alan

Well, then, I suggest you just use Spy++ and learn about it! It is a common misconception that "a search" is going to turn up something useful, and that failure of "a search" (whatever THAT means!) to turn up something useful means nothing useful exists. Spy++ is found in the Visual Studio Tools menu item and you should learn to use it ar part of basic Windows developer literacy. Otherwise, you are going about it in a clumsy fashion. Learn to use the tools! joe On Tue, 16 Mar 2010 08:15:13 -0500, "Anonymous User" <nospam38925(a)forme.com> wrote: >Hi, > >I couldn't find anything about Spy++ with a search. > >I used a tool I wrote a long time ago to get a window handle of the window. >I then fed that to GetWindowThreadProcessId and got: > >csrss.exe > >Is this a normal process that needs the VC runtime library? > >Any other ideas? > >Thanks, > >Alan > Joseph M.
