Bug: ppBarCodeDialog form not destroyed in Runtime Report Editor?

rbuser

Hi,
I'm checking all open forms on exiting my application. While using
quite intensive the RB 9.0x Runtime Report Editor I noticed, that
ppBarcodeDialog forms stays open (but not visible), although the forms
where ppreport and ppdesigner are placed are dynamically created,
show(ed) and closed with Aciton:=cafree. Is this some kind of resource
leak?
I assume TfrmHelperHost is also RB created?

Here is an output of my check routine
allocconsole;
for I:=0 to screen.formcount-1 do
with screen.forms[i] do
Begin
Writeln(I,' >',name,'< ',caption,' ',classname);
End;

1 >ppBarCodeDialog_1< Strichode Konfigurieren TppBarCodeDialog
2 >ppBarCodeDialog< Strichode Konfigurieren TppBarCodeDialog
3 >< TfrmHelperHost

Regards
Gunther

1. Thanks for reporting this issue. I researched this and the dialog is
destroyed when the application ends. However it should be destroyed as soon
as the dialog closes. I have created a patch for RB 9.03. Registered users
of RB 9.03 can email support@digital-metaphors.com and request a patch.

Alternatively, you can patch the code yourself. The unit name is
ppPopMenu.pas. The method is TppCustomBarCodePopupMenu.ConfigureMenuClick.
The code should look like the following. Modify the unit and copy to
RBuilder\Lib. Delete the existing .dcu file and then rebuild your project to
generate a new one.


lBarCodeDlg.ShowModal;

lBarCodeDlg.Free;



2. > I assume TfrmHelperHost is also RB created?

This is not an RB dialog. (I do not know what class library contains that
class).
