Unfortunatly, I have a bug somewhere that causes memory corruption, so on some Windows machines I will sometimes get a "Application Error" dialog box explaining that an instruction referenced memory that could not be read. This dialog box pops up and basically hangs the test run, as it requires manual intervention. Is there a way to prevent this dialog box from appearing, so that the test run simply fails and is reported as such in Hudson? Is it possible to automatically generate a minidump instead of showing the dialog? c++ windows debugging memory build-automation share|improve this question edited Jul 21 '09 at 17:33 community wiki 2 revs, 2 users 100%mch add a comment| 6 Answers 6 active oldest votes up vote 10 down vote accepted Use "Disable error reporting", as Mr. Gently suggests. See also this PC World article. If you happen to have MS Visual Studio on your build machine, it will catch Application Errors and pop up a dialog box. To disable these dialogs (and also the Just-In-Time Debugging feature of Visual Studio), run the command drwtsn32.exe -i to set Dr. Watson as the default system debugger. Dr. Watson will generate a core dump and silently exit. (See this Microsoft Knowledge Base article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q121434/.) share|improve this answer answered Apr 9 '09 at 18:06 community wiki rkb 1 Thanks! Restoring the Dr. Watson configuration and setting it not to prompt was just what I was looking for! –mch Apr 9 '09 at 18:38 The PC World article seem to be empty. Consequently the first alternative doesn't provide any useful answer. –skyking Aug 27 '15 at 13:04 add a comment| up vote 6 down vote You can also do something like this programaticaly using SetErrorMode. See this article for more details. A simple example of how to use it is to do the following: SetErrorMode(GetErrorMode () | SEM_NOGPFAULTERRORBOX); The above 'ORs' the current mode with our desired addition. share|improve this answer answered

Once I distribute a script or two I'd prefer to be able to turn off the run time failure message where it displays many lines before and many lines after. Just a message such as "crashed at line x" would be great. I was hoping something like #ErrorStdOut would work to send stuff out to null http://stackoverflow.com/questions/735170/can-the-application-error-dialog-box-be-disabled but haven't figure anything out yet. #1 - Posted 11 April 2011 - 10:06 PM Back to top MacroMan!

If you design it right, if you don't get any when you first run it, you will prob never get errors. #2 - Posted 11 April 2011 - 10:20 PM https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/65672-suppressing-run-time-error-messages/ What ever happened, happened.

Absolutely all software development in the truest sense is a business proposition (commercial or not.) This has nothing to do about being "pretty reliable" blah blah blah. It's about being fit for purpose. For some purposes ultra reliability is key. (I know this first hand having worked doing system integrity software for Bell Labs ensuring that their cellular infrastructure software got itself back on track when coding failures were trapped.) My AHK projects are big and complex but not life and death critical such that they need to be ultra reliable. (For instance in telecommunications you got to make sure that 911/999 always works and certainly that the 'red' phone always works no matter what.) Again understanding that all software development is a business process then my time is much better spent adding new features and functions rather than spending hundreds of hours testing every possible condition. And of course where does it stop? Do I also have to test the libraries (sqlite for example) that I beg, borrow or steal? No it's all about being fit for purpose. I've built in pretty good system integrity insuring that all my data commits are very regular, I upload massive amounts of data to Amazon's S3 service and automatically back u

I have set up a switchboard item that opens a report. When the report opens it will windows error call a form so that the user can change parameters in the report and filter the information before the report is generated see below.

IfReports![CostCodeStats].Controls("Label14").Visible=FalseThen Cancel=True EndIf EndSub If the user closes the filter box it will cancel the report generation but for some reason it always spits out the same error message. I have tried using how to suppress error handling in the code but the problem is that the error is generated outside of the open event and the error handling is not triggered. Thanks for help.

On top of the message box the error number and the error description are displayed. On the bottom of the message box there are three command buttons: CONTINUE, DEBUG and END. If the user presses the DEBUG Button he will be able to browse thru the VB code of the addin. Please note: The user can view the VB code thru the DEBUG option, although the supervisor has disabled the "Edit Script / VBA code" command. For security reasons this code should not be accessible. Does any of you know how to disable the DEBUG button?

Thanks Nitzan Foran First thought is that you should get to the root of the run-time errors themselves and avoid them in the first place, or otherwise add some error handling code to the add-in to more "gracefully" handle the errors. This way you could still di
