Hi everyone,I'm using a GeDialog attached to a tag, catching MSG_EDIT to open it. So far so good.
Everything run as i wish, but when I modify parameters on the tag itself i have memory leak.I've tried to isolate the problem creating an exemple as simple as possible to reproduce the problem.
In the exemple, i've used GetDDescription() to create the UI but the problem is the same with .res/.h/.str
This is where it get strange :
- If i play with several parameters except the CheckBox --> no memory leak.
- If i play with several parameters and the CheckBox -- > memory leak.
- If i only play with the checkbox i got no leak. (even if i got several checkbox)- If i remove the GeDialog variable i got no leak and using a pointer to the dialog doesn't change anything.
I've check the way i initialise the Checkbox but even without using GeData(true) and only true it doesn't change anything.
The main.cpp and h, there nothing except the call to registerplugin and resource.Init()
In the exemple, the MYDIALOG class got nothing, but i didn't found anything there that could help.
I've include everything in one file (except the main.cpp)I removed all other plugins to be sure.
If anybody got a hint.

Hi,
A NodeData plugin can't hold a GeDialog like a CommandData.
An object plugin is created multiple times (on the undo stack for instance) and is also managed in different threads than the main. Remember GUI operations have to be done in the main threads.The solution is to have a CommandData holding the dialog. Then from the tag's MSG_EDIT use CallCommand() to invoke it.
MSG_EDIT is run on the main thread so GUI operations can be done. Same for MSG_DESCRIPTION_COMMAND with buttons in descriptions.Catch EVMSG_CHANGE from the dialog's CoreMessage() to refresh it according to the tag's state.

Ok changing all this.
i'm storing data in the tag (not in a basecontainer)
Using SpecialEventAdd() to send a pointer to my data after the callCommand seems to work. Is it ok to do that ?edit :
even with those change i still got memory leak when i'm playing with checkbox -

Yes that's fine.

after changing the data stored in the tag, i've killed the memory leak. Thanks for the support

You're welcome. Glad the memory leak is solved.
