ShowDialog() causes SEHException: Why???
Hi all,
Here's the sequence of events for this problem I'm having:
1) I have no SEHExceptions
2) I add a class to my project containing __event declarations
3) I add code in another class to subscribe to the events in the new class
4) An old dialog box, one that has been closing without any hiccups for many months, suddenly throws an SEHException whenever it closes.
5) If I undo all __event declarations and comment out the subscribing and handling code the problem goes away.
I've been googling this problem for a few hours and find that most occurrences of this problem resulted from adding the EnableVisualStyles call in code. However, in my case, I am not doing that. I had never heard of EnableVisualStyles before I began googling for this problem.
Does anyone know how to identify the source of this particular SEHException? I can't even catch the exception with try{} catch(System::Runtime::Int
Any help is much appreciated.

I had noticed that several of my settings were not the default ones for a .exe product. I simply selected the <inherit from project type> option and recompiled.
If there's a lesson here it is: don't mess with the compile options unless you know exactly what you are doing. Just take the project type defaults when possible.
To the area admins, I suggest this be PAQ'd and closed with points refunded.
