When I include the Mozilla Active X control in VB 5 SP3, I get an unhandled exception and VB blow up. The unhandled exception occurs when I include the object in a form. So just after having created the boundary rectangle that should contain the object in the form, the errors occurs. I set the PATH variable to the directory containing all the Mozilla compnents before trying to use the control. The error happened with the new renamed control (build 030399)

Without further information I can't resolve the problem. I frequently test the control in my environment without incident. If you can provide me with a sample HTML file, I can test it out.

"The problem does not occur with a particular HTML document. As stated in the bug report, the problem occurs when the Active X object is instantiated in a Visual Basic Form. The problem happened at design time. The object could not be instanciated at design time, an exception error occured. So no needs for a HTML document, it blast long before being able to navigateTo a particular document." - Didier PH Martin, martind@netfolder.com

locka or martind, if you could please verify this as fixed in a current build, i'd very much appreciate it... i don't have the tools to verify this. thanks, cpratt

I forgot to mention -- the same behavior is exhibited in 4.5

ignore my previous entry -- for some reason I ended up in this bug and not the bug I was working on -- sorry!

given that the bug reporter has not provided feedback, I am marking this as verified worksforme.

I can't reproduce this bug. I just opened VB6, inserted the Mozilla control onto an empty form and repeatedly ran/stopped it to see if I could crash it which I couldn't. There used to be a problem with doing this because NS_SetupRegistry was called multiple times and crash VB. It could be that this bug has since been fixed in the NSPR causing the control to behave properly.
