VPE stops after calling VPE.Fontname

Postby Bas » Tue Dec 03, 2019 3:37 pm

I have a problem printing. Sometime my program stops continuing at this line:
Code: Select all
'VB
VPE.FontName = "Symbol" <-- stops executing at this line.
VPE.Print(10,10, "a") 'alpha
VPE.FontName = "Arial"

My program has multiple tab pages with an VPE instance.
Sometimes after 2 times, sometimes 10 times, when printing on a new tab page, it stops running after that line.
So it looks like some memory problem.

But the weird thing is that Visual Studio doesn't catch that error. It just stops continuing the code.
I tried wrapping it in a Try/Catch block, enabling break-on-all-errors in VS, but VS still won't show me an error on that line, it just stops executing.

Is this something you recognize?

Setting the font name indeed creates a copy of the provided string with the font name. It does nothing else.

We have no explanation, why your program stops at this moment - no one ever reported a problem like this. Most likely you are running out of memory.

Downgrading from 7.2 to 6.1, it just works now.

From a technical point of view, this does not make sense.
