Okay, I finally got around to updating everything I need to to make sure that this bug was still a problem. When I run any of the debug version of the sample apps on Windows XP--in other words, when they are run in a window instead of full screen--with the latest version of (ver. 3.3i), the code crashes when OpenDisplay is called.
The following is all the error info I could gather. I can't really be more specific, since I can't step into the actual GapiDraw dll.
AppName: hellogapi.exe AppVer: 1.0.0.1 ModName: wblind.dll
ModVer: 3.30.0.0 Offset: 00012d10
Exception Information
Code: 0xc0000005
Flags: 0x00000000
Record: 0x0000000000000000
Address: 0x0000000066012d10
I believe there is a free version of WindowBlinds available that might help in tracking down this bug.
Incidentally, in the front-end I'm working on--non-MFC, non-thread based--I don't have this problem at all. I haven't really been able to find any more specific reasons for this.
