Anyone have a Dell Axim X5 who can test something for me?

Thanks for posting the screenshot com - I didn't realise that it's almost loading - I thought it was dying out before it even got to showing any screen.

I've got another updated version for you to try:


By the way - thanks for helping me out. I don't have access to an Axim so I really appreciate your assistance.

Just thought of something - do you get to see any ducks or the plane on the main screen? Try moving the error dialog and see if you can see anything behind etc.

You wouldn't believe what a relief this is!

Ok, I think I need to save up and buy a Dell Axim for development - they are very sensitive devices, but it's not that it's their fault....

There were two problems:
- Data alignment issues
- Memory leaks

Any memory leak will cause problems on the Axim, but almost all other devices will handle it without any trouble if the memory leak occurs in the HeapAlloc() area. The memory leak was from my not knowing exactly how virtual functions work when called from destructors - I will post in the developers forum to try and get some clarification because it doesn't make sense to me - I had to do a manual work-around in the inheriting class.

The 80000002 exception is supposed to be related to data alignment, but I think it must also get raised on the Axims in the event of memory leaks.

I will explain more in the thread I have going in the developers forum:

Once again, if you want to test Concentrix, drop me an email at mlepage@scalenesoftware.com. I particularly need Axim and iPAQ 1910 testers.
