Thread: program throws assert after deleting a resource

program throws assert after deleting a resource

after i added some editbox in my dialog and did a few compiles, i decided to remove some of the editboxes and change my GUI. but all of a sudden the program throws assertions errors after compilation

checking the call stack, it traces up to this

Code:

HWND CDataExchange::PrepareCtrl(int nIDC)
{
	ASSERT(nIDC != 0);
	ASSERT(nIDC != -1); // not allowed
	HWND hWndCtrl;
	m_pDlgWnd->GetDlgItem(nIDC, &hWndCtrl);
	if (hWndCtrl == NULL)
	{
		TRACE1("Error: no data exchange control with ID 0x%04X.\n", nIDC);
		ASSERT(FALSE);   <THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE IT ASSERTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>
		AfxThrowNotSupportedException();
	}
	m_hWndLastControl = hWndCtrl;
	m_bEditLastControl = FALSE; // not an edit item by default
	ASSERT(hWndCtrl != NULL);   // never return NULL handle
	return hWndCtrl;
}

sorry i am new to programming



using
mfc style
winxp
vc6.0++

thnx for the help, i someone suggested the following and i am working on it

1. First check the DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX) function in your Dlg.cpp. It should not have any instances of your edit boxes / Controls

2. In your dlg.h file . make sure still there are any handles which is not deleted.

3. your .rc / resource.h may have the Ids of it still.

if any of the above things are there, Delete those things manually
