Could u pls explain in detail? also pls explain what the following means?
" I tried that in an other app and I got the same crash. However, same apps do not crash, so I wonder if I am doing sth wrong or if someone knows sth more about this."

e.g. Try the following:
Make a new MFC dialog project and add a button.
Add the code I posted above (without the return statement)
for the button click event.
Click on the button to make the code run once and then follow
the described steps (in my first post). Then click the button
again (after you close the dialog using "Esc" or "Cancel") and
do the same actions once again. Your app will crash when the
tooltip (showing the file type size etc...) appears for the
second time. And that happens ONLY on the Desktop (you should
try to see the tooltip on the Desktop, and on a file NOT a link
to a file).
I tried the same thing (openning a file etc...) with an other app
(that was a Hex editor I use) that was using (I guess) the same
code and I had the same crash.
However most of my apps on my PC do not crash when I do this (thank GOD).
e.g. Internet Explorer, Acrobat reader, WMedia Player etc.
I also tried to run the code on other machines and got the same crash
(using my app). The only things (dlls loaded by the shell) in common
where the SP2 DLL (xpsp2res.dll) and Acrobat (pdfshell.dll) (I think).
I don't know if the source of the problem is in one of them.
Note that my code is running perfectly in any folder and it fails ONLY
on the Desktop! I suspect that this is a bug of the shell, since there
is no obvious problem with my code.
I use MSVS 6 C++ and I have SP2 installed.
I do not use unicode libraries.

I have no idea how the code relates to the steps to
reproduce the crash.
I do see a potential problem with unicode builds though:
OpenFileName.nMaxFile = sizeof(szFile)-1;
should be
OpenFileName.nMaxFile = sizeof(szFile) / sizeof(TCHAR) - 1;

Please see my post above too. This is a small part of it:

If you wish you can download my app from here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/64329713/PlotLibDemo.rar.html[^]
I had no serious problems after the crash, but it's better to save
your work before you do the trick. There is a "open file" icon on
one of the windows you'll see.
Thanks.

OK. Someone helped me out! This is the answer :
======================================================
The problem is that the shell is caching column handlers.
When the file dialog exits, it calls CoUninitialize, which
unloads all the handlers even if there are references
outstanding. The next time the file dialog is opened,
the shell tries to access a column handler that isn't
there any more. Boom! If you manage COM initialisation
yourself, you shouldn't run into this problem.

=======================================================
BUT, why does this happen ONLY on the Desktop?
Normally the shell should do the same thing, no matter
which folder you are in, shouldn't it ?
=======================================================
It's because the desktop folder is cached.
Other folders will be released (thus releasing
their column handler caches) before the file
dialog exits, but the shell caches the desktop
folder and so it outlives the file dialog.

Hi, did any of you ever encountered with problem when trying to open a Clipboard for the second time?
It happens to me!
I select some text from Notepad (ctrl + c)and get text data from it, here all my actions with clipboard (1.OpenClipboard(), 2.GetClipboardData(CF_TEXT), 3. EmptyClipboard(), and 5. CloseClipboard() is successful). Than again I try the same thing but now my OpenClipboard() fails (I even try to hold for a while with Sleep() function)???
If anyone had similar experience please let me know!
P.S.
I solved this by commenting out EmptyClipboard() function!?

I think i have written my guestion hasty. My new application works normal in my laptop. And have installed here Visual Studio 2005. But when i'm copying this application to another one (computer)there appears this message "The Application has faild to start because the Application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."
and now i have find some info from code project. But i cann't do this. There must instal Windows installer 3.0 and ....
My guestion : How can i use my application in another computer. What am i install additionally ?
May be *.dll files, or *.msi files. ????????? Thanks !

It's so because on another's computer the workarounds of yours application is different then on yours PC.
When compiling, application is compiled with other files (like .dll's for example) and it can be linked with yours application as static or shared... What I'm trying to tell you is that yours application is missing some file on another's computer to work!
Try to find out which one, or post more details here!

First thing you have to do is distribute the release version of your program.
Then, with your application, you need to distribute vcredist_x86.exe and execute it on the target machine. This can be found here[^]. This will install the C run-time library and the MFC libraries.
If that still doesn't work, then your application depends on other dll's that are not found. Use dependency walker to check which dll's are required to be distributed with your app.

I have checked my program in a computer without visual studio, with debug version crashed because how missing dlls, but release worked good. But now, with your answer.
The question is... Should the release version of a normal MFC-Win32 program work in all computers (supposing no dll is used at all)? Or better include this vcredist_x86 in all applications?

Which Compiler are you using.. since in Visual Studio 2005, you required to deploy Manifest file needed to run VC++ application !

In that case, things are even more simple: you just need to distribute your executable and the dll on which it depends. If you statically link to all the dlls, you can just distribute your exe.

The debug version will never work, even if you run vcredist_x86.exe on the target computer (it only install the release versions of the libraries). Now, you could avoid to distribute this executable if you statically link to the C run-time library and to the MFC dll's (but I'm not 100% sure because I never tested it).

I statically link all the time and you are correct - you do not need vcredist_x86.exe if you statically link.

Can you more explain some detaily of your program?

But a third party dll, all are things from MFC, list, objects, views... nothing really special
