I have an EXE-application (1,9 MB) made with Delphi 7, but when I add (for example) a bitbutton or combobox to an existing form I get the message "Project name.exe raised exception class EAccessViolation with message 'Access violation at address 5D4E65F8 in module 'comctl32.dll'. Read of adress FEEEFEEE'. Process stopped". The message doesn't appear when I start the same application outside the Delphi 7 IDE. I have the idea that it has something to do with the available memory, but how can I solve this, because I couldn't add components to my application?

There might be some pieces of code that does not correspond to any control you have on the form.

Treeview, listview, datetimepicker, animate, statusbar, toolbar,... richedit? Undoubtedly there are many more. These are controls that are built into Windows and are simply wrapped to make them look like VCL controls for your code.

I also uninstalled and re-installed Delphi 7, but I still get the same problem with this "Access Violation". Any other suggestions?

So does that error come immediately if you start a completely new Project, only one single TForm1 on it, when you drop some TButtons and other controls on it? If it does, then there is something messed in your Delphi or Windows installation. Quote: I have an EXE-application (1,9 MB) made with Delphi 7, but when I add On the other hand, if the problem appears just with this specific application, then 1,9 MB man? That's nothing! 2. Drop one Form at a time from your project, delete also those PAS and DFM files from your project folder, so they can't be referenced from other Forms in your project. Continue dropping Forms, and finally one Control at a time from that final form, and wait when the error messages no more appear. At some point of this haunting you inevitably will find the Form or Control that is responsible for those error messages. Takes less than an hour. Or if you still do not find it, the error still pops up even if your original Project has been stripped down to the same level as in 1. case. Well, in that case we ALL have a BIG mystery to think about:) John E Back to top Iwan Oprins Guest Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2005 1:57 pm    Post subject: Re: Delphi 7: Access violation at address # in module 'comct With a new project I have no problems. I have a form where I want to add a bitbutton. Then I get the errormessage. I can click on [OK] and the application will run fine. There was also a moment that I could add a bitbutton, but when I add a glyph to the bitbutton I get the same error, also with several other controls. For example: adding a checkbox and radiobutton: no problem. When I add a memo-field I also get this error. If I remove this control again everything is fine again. I also changed the creation-order of the forms (Projects > Options > Forms), with no result. Also increasing the stack-size don't solve this problem. The application has 25 auto-create forms and 50 available forms (most frames which are created dynamically). I have the problem with a real form (no frame) that is directly created.

I have a form where I want to add a bitbutton. Then I get the errormessage. You never mentioned your Windows -version, is it XP/W2k/W98? Nor the history of that exception, when exactly did it start coming. I quess that you probably do not have a clear, brand new factory installed XP on your machine. And then you immediately installed D7 on it, and at once you started to get those AVs? Often there is some Service Pack update involved. Or newly installed MS Office application or something, that at the same time updated half of the Win operating system files. Years back, IE 4.0 setup installed NT4.0's comctl32.dll version to Win95-machines, causing a lot of problems. If you now WILL DO a clean XP/W2k installation, and a clean D7 installation on top of it, you won't see those errors appearing. It just means a lot of extra work with installations, yet it probably could be fixed by replacing one of those Win graphic related System files. You probably have already checked all those possible comctl32.dll versions there are available for your Windows version?

Today I did a system recovery (so my computer has the factory settings). I has orginaly Windows XP Home and immediately I do the Windows XP Professional Upgrade (with Service Pack 2) and after that I installed Delphi 7 Studio (also with the upgrade CD). After that I installed no other software and dit no Windows updates. Then I compile my program and again I get the message Access violation at address 5D4E65F8 in module 'comctl32.dll'. Read of address FEEEFEEE. Other programs run fine, but how can I solve this, because it is very frustrating that after a real reinstallation of Windows XP Prof. and Delphi 7 it still doesn't work. Every suggestion is welcome. Back to top Aron S.
