I am trying to use the paint manager from a static build of the profuis library. I followed the directions from the "How to link statically with Prof-UIS?" article...

I built the profuis library : profuis264yud.
I added the __STATPROFUIS_WITH_DLLMFC__ directive to my project and built it just fine. In my app’s (mfc exe) InitInstance, I call: g_PaintManager.InstallPaintManager() and it asserts in: extpaintmanager.cpp
at the following piece of code:

VERIFY(
	m_bmpAdvTipBorder.LoadBMP_Resource(
		MAKEINTRESOURCE( IDB_EXT_2007_ADV_TIP_BORDER )
		)
	);

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeremy

It seems that whenever any of the Office2007 paintmanagers are used in the g_PaintManager.InstallPaintManager( ... ) line, it asserts. I have not tried all of the non-Office2007 mgr’s, but the ones I have tried seem to work fine. I am using version 2.64. Is this a bug? Does this behavour exist in later releases?

I started over with a brand-new solution using profuis app-wizard (VS2003); dialog based; mfc shared; profuis static; changed to unicode; changed to NOT treat wchar_t as built-in type; added a datepickerwnd to dialog; changed to install one of the office2007 themes in the app’s InitInstance. It built fine, but asserts. Changing the paintmanager to a non-Office2007 mgr and it works fine.

Thank you.

We suspect there must be something wrong with your project settings. So you can either the settings with those of our sample projects or send your test project to us so we can find out what is wrong.

I had already done that. It made no difference

Please open the .rc2 file of your project and add the following lines into it:

#if ( !(defined _AFXDLL && !defined __STATPROFUIS_WITH_DLLMFC__) )
      #include <Resources/Resource.rc>
#endif

You can use the .rc2 file in any of Prof-UIS samples to see how to do this.
