Unhandled Exception

[DrumsArt 270]

Hi,

During approach I had an Unhandled Exception "Object is currently in use elsewhere" !

Fsx Acc, P2Atc last update.

Thanks and Regards,

Thanks for the report Richard.

This is a Windows error when the Graphics object is trying to be used by multiple programs to paint the screen or controls. 

Did you have the AI Traffic visible at the time?  That sometimes causes this.

Did it keep running OK when you pressed Continue?

Thanks,

Dave

Dave, if you speak about the AI traffic visible IN P2Atc, the answer is yes ! I have not pressed "Continue", so...

Usually, with this particular issue, you can press Continue and all will continue to function.  Key word is "Usually".

Thanks,

Dave

Dave, this looks really really fishy... No sane API would produce such an exception unless something is wrong somewhere within the program itself. I'm a professional programmer myself and this looks like actual programmer's error to me. I googled for this kind of exception and found several possible explanations, most of which revolved around doing graphics-related operations in threads, when given operation is not thread-safe (one such example was Bitmap-related). Also, in general, doing any UI-related operations in non-UI thread was pointed as a culprit. And of course we don't see it all the time with Pilot2ATC, because that's the nature of threading-related issues or race conditions...

Any chance you can look at the issue from this perspective? I experienced this exception one or two times too (I think I sent it over to you the other day, not 100% sure as it was one of a few other issues I reported).
