Stack overflow

rbuserrbuser
edited April 2003 in General
I'm using Delphi 5.02 and RB 5.56.

Several times today when I was in the report layout I have needed to
duplicate an existing component. I Control-C to copy one to the
clipboard and the Control-V to paste it onto the report. I immediately
get an error saying the IDE has encountered a stack overflow - save
all your work before exiting.

Sometimes I am able to save work, other times the IDE just crashes and
disappears. When I can save work I usually get an error that a
component on the form is missing.

Anyone run into this before? Any tips on what I may have set to
aggravate the situation?

    Hi Doug,

    design your reports not inside Delphi's IDE, use an application.

    Doug,

    ReportBuilder comes with the 'TppDesigner' component, which has a method 'ShowModal'.
    Associate a designer with a report component and instead of calling myReport.Print call myDesigner.ShowModal.
    Delphi's IDE isn't as stable as it should be when using IDE add-ons. This happens not all the time but always then when you forgot to hit CRTL-S for a long time (I use at least a tree minute interval) - Murphy's Law.
    To keep your work, isn't that reason enough?
