Re: [paragui-users] code fix - (was win32 ParaGUI crash on exit)

[address@hidden]

Alex,   (I'm not sure if there's a more appropriate mailing list/place for 
this)

while still looking for a way around that internal compiler error,  I found 
two things which might be of interest.

(1)
// The line below causes problems on my VC++6 (SP5).
// Looks like visual has some kind of problem related to the static 
template member function.
PG_Window* tempw = PG_Application::GetWidget<PG_Window>("WindowTwo");

// This works Ok though - using the non-templatised version
PG_Window* tempw = static_cast<PG_Window*>( 
PG_Application::GetWidgetByName("WindowTwo") );

not sure if you've seen this before.  I'll continue to look at it.  At 
least I have a work around for now.


(2)
While not strictly related to the above problem, whilst looking at (1), I 
noticed a possible error in the pgapplication.h code;

// FILE : pgapplication.h

// The following function definition exists which uses the wrong parameter 
name.  Most likely was copied/pasted from
// the above and similar const char * version of the function and not 
changed to reflect the different parameter.
template<class T>
static T* GetWidget(int id) {
        return static_cast<T*>(GetWidgetById(Name));
}

// should be this ?
template<class T>
static T* GetWidget(int id) {
        return static_cast<T*>(GetWidgetById(id));
}


Not sure if this means I have an old version of the lib or not ( contained 
in  paragui-1.0.3.tar.gz ).
Also not sure of the appropriate way of reporting such things or 
making/suggesting changes.

Cheers,
Chris
PS. The test application works beautifully now. Getting excited about 
ParaGUI....
