OTK C++ - Creation of Dialog fails the second time

I try to create a simple dialog, which will be closed by pressing the Cancel-Button.

The first time the dialog is started, everything works correct.

uifcCreateDialog, uifcActivateDialog, uifcExitDialog and uifcDestroyDialog return 0 and

no exception is thrown.

But starting the dialog the second time fails. Calling uifcCreateDialog returns -1 and the

dialog is not created. For some hints I would be grateful.

Thanks in advance.

 

Versions:

Creo Parametric 3.0 - 64 bit

Windows 7 64 Bit

C++ Object Toolkit

The second parameter of uifcCreateDialog is the resource. I tried to use a relative or absolute path to this file, which results in this strange behaviour. Copying the file to the right place and using only the name without extension solved the problem for me.

Does this mean that it did not work with a subdirectory? I'm experiencing a similar issue now, and have my resource file located in a subdirectory from the "text/resource" folder.

The Dialog resource file should be in your peoject directory ./txt/resource/GearTest.res
