Win10: mm 3.5.0 crashes silently about movemouse HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi,

MM 3.5.0 uses .NET 4.5.2, whereas previous versions used .NET 2.0. Windows will normally detect this and prompt you to download the required version of .NET Framework.

Can you see if install .NET Framework 4.5.2 resolves your issue?

Hi @sw3103,
Thanks for the response. I have .NET 4.5.2, I just also have newer versions. I am successfully able to create a new application in visual studio and target 4.5.2 (and run it, of course).

I think 4.7 is an in-place upgrade over 4.5 (well, specifically over 4.6).

Is there any reason you don't want to update to the latest .net?

from movemouse.

I had to go to a 4.5.2 to support the KryptonWinFormControls package. I could've just gone straight to 4.7, but as unlikely as it may be, there may still be a few Windows Vista machines out there that I would've alienated. I'll probably make the jump on my next release.

Are you able to download the source for 3.5.0 and compile it?

from movemouse.

Personally, I would say that if they are on Windows Vista, the inability to run the latest version of this software is probably not their biggest concern. :)

Running from source

Attempt 1: Running as-is
Same thing, crashes when I try to pull up the UI with a stackoverflow on SystemTrayIcon.cs:191

_moveMouse.ShowInTaskbar = true;

Attempt 2: Change target
Changed the target to 4.7.1 (I don't have the 4.7.2 sdk on this machine). Reinstalled the nuget dependencies to target net471.

Same result as above.. Incidentally, commenting that line seems to fix the immediate problem of crashes. So whatever hooks into that property seems to be the issue.

This issue is related to #8. The reason, why it is solved either by disabling minimise_to_system_tray in settings or commenting line _moveMouse.ShowInTaskbar = true; in SystemTrayIcon.cs is that assignment of ShowInTaskbar property fires MouseForm_Resize event, which in its turn also interacts with this property. I didn't investigate, what exactly in code has changed that caused this to broke, but I was able to fix it with next change:

    private FormWindowState _lastWindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;

    private void MouseForm_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (WindowState != _lastWindowState)
        {
            _lastWindowState = WindowState;
             if (WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
            {
                ShowInTaskbar = !minimiseToSystemTrayCheckBox.Checked;
            }
        }
    }

from movemouse.

It must be the KryptonWinFormControls package which is the cause of this, as it is the only thing that has really changed. The idea was to give the UI a more modern look, but it is not worth it if it is causing crashes.

I think I'll release another update without the KryptonWinFormControls package.

from movemouse.

Thanks @sw3103. FWIW, I've always liked MM for its simple UI anyway:)

Version 3.6.0 now available without KryptonWinFormControls UI components.
