User (Legacy) Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 I'm using ChartFX 98 Client/Server (version 4.0.10.0) within an application that uses a whole bunch of COM objects. Whenever the app runs in Windows NT 4.0 SP4 with a 256-color display driver, and I close the app, the app's UI will shut down normally. However, the app's process doesn't end itself. In fact, Task Manager shows that the process will keep opening handles to two particular threads within itself, until the process contains about 900 total handles (not just thread handles). Even then, the process still won't shut down. The strange thing is that when using a more-than-256-color display driver, the process will shut down completely, without grabbing more thread handles. Even stranger, the app will shut down completely in either Windows 98 or Windows 2000, no matter how many colors the display driver can handle. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Please let me know if you do. ("Shut down and reboot" doesn't work, FYI.) :-) Thanks, - Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 Have you tried to create small app with nothing but a random chart ?

User (Legacy) Posted September 8, 2001 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2001 > Have you tried to create small app with nothing but a random chart ? Yes, I have. It seems to work fine if I just have a plain old ATL/WTL dialog app with nothing but the chart in it. I'm still experimenting with adding random data, calling OpenDataEx() and CloseData() multiple times, etc. > Have you tried in a WinNT SP6 box ? Unfortunately, no. The chart may eventually be used in a much larger app whose requirements state that it must support SP4. These requirements have a fair amount of inertia behind them; they won't be changed unless a really good reason is found. So, I'm stuck with attempting to solve the problem under SP4. - Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
