The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual C++, versions 4.0, 4.1
- Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Using the Class Wizard to associate a short with a control on a dialog may
result in the following behavior:
- Access Violation when UpdateData(TRUE) is called.
-or-
- Other member variables of the dialog are corrupted after the call to
UpdateData(TRUE).
CAUSE
=====
The overloaded DDX routine for short has a bug where it assumes that the
variable is of type int instead of short. This may result in stack corruption
because a short occupies less space than an int.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, use an int instead of a short. If you want to limit the
values to the range of values that can be represented by a short, set the
appropriate limits for the int variable.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual C++ 32- bit Edition
version 4.2.
