Hi,

sometimes I'll get the Errormessage "Can't create control". It's hughe edit-control with a 33kb Reame inside. Interesting is, that this message only occurs when Photoshop is open. Well it can't be reproduced regulary, but if the message comes, than it won't stop until closing Photoshop. Well, Photoshop uses a lot of my 786 MB Memory.

The message "Can't create control" occurs only when the following CreateWindowEx() call fails to create the Edit control:

control.hwnd = CreateWindowEx(exstyle, "edit", malloc_buf ? malloc_buf : aText, style, opt.x, opt.y, opt.width, opt.height, mHwnd, control_id, g_hInstance, NULL)

Since that's the only line that can cause this error, and since I don't see anything obviously wrong with it, it's probably an OS or memory issue. The only work-around I can think of is to add the text as a separate step after creating the control. In other words, create an empty Edit and then use GuiControl to add the text.

Hi,

thanks, I'll try that.
