I’ve been adding and removing toolbars from my app and I’m constantly gpf’ing out of the workspace serialization. Is there an official way to trap this? I’m using VS2K5 and profuis 282.

Problem is when i’m done adding in a new toolbar the end user is going to experience the same gpf’ing with the final app.

Access off of a null pointer at

ProfUIS282md.dll!CExtControlBar::InternalFriendlyFrameWnd::SetOuterDockState(const CDockState & state={...}, const CArray<CExtControlBar::OuterItemData_t,CExtControlBar::OuterItemData_t &> & arrOuterProps={...}, bool bSerializeFixedBarsState=true, bool bSerializeResizableBarsState=true)  Line 2890 + 0x6 bytes C++

The pExtBar it pulls from

CExtControlBar * pExtBar = STATIC_DOWNCAST(CExtControlBar, GetControlBar( _oid.m_nBarID ));

is null.

We confirm this issue. This line of code should be replaced with (two places):

            CControlBar * pTmpBar = GetControlBar( _oid.m_nBarID );
            if( pTmpBar == NULL )
                  continue;
            CExtControlBar * pExtBar = STATIC_DOWNCAST( CExtControlBar, pTmpBar );

Thanks again! I wasn’t sure if the fix was that straight forward. Thanks for the confirmation.

I did tuck this into a try catch with the appropriate value set but I keep getting blown out with this new weird VS2K5 exception handling.
