Re: Closing documents caused random crash in ActiveX server application

A workaround seems to prevent the crash. Can anyone see a clue to
properly fix the seemingly "synchronization error"?

Following is the essence of my workaround. That's bypassing
CWinApp::OnIdle call if lCount is zero. Therefore avoids the
CWindThread::OnIdle where the crash would be observed. I set the
debug break point inside the line of if( lCount != 0 ). However, the
breakpoint never hits. It doesn't seem that the lCount is ever of
zero.

If I am going ahead of the workaround, is my OnIdle method below
sufficient?

void CMyOLEServerApp::OnIdle(LONG lCount)
{
    if (lCount == 0)
    {
        //copied here from CWinThread::OnIdle to update mainframe
        CWnd* pMainWnd = m_pMainWnd;
        if (pMainWnd != NULL && pMainWnd->m_hWnd != NULL && pMainWnd-


        {
    AfxCallWndProc(pMainWnd, pMainWnd->m_hWnd,
                 WM_IDLEUPDATECMDUI, (WPARAM)TRUE, 0);
     pMainWnd->SendMessageToDescendants(WM_IDLEUPDATECMDUI, (WPARAM)TRUE,
0, TRUE, TRUE);
        }

        DWORD nMinMbFree;
        GetMinFreeRAMinMB(nMinMbFree);

        MEMORYSTATUS ms;
        ms.dwLength = sizeof(MEMORYSTATUS);
        GlobalMemoryStatus(&ms);

        DWORD dwOldFree = 0xffffffff;
        DWORD dwMinBytes = nMinMbFree;
        dwMinBytes *= 1024;
        dwMinBytes *= 1024;

        while ((ms.dwAvailPageFile < dwMinBytes) && (dwOldFree !=
ms.dwAvailPageFile))
        {
    if (m_pMainWnd != NULL)
    {
        (m_pMainWnd)->SendMessageToDescendants(WM_COMMAND,
ID_PRIV_MEMORY);
    }

    dwOldFree = ms.dwAvailPageFile;
    GlobalMemoryStatus(&ms);
        }
   }

   BOOL bRet = FALSE;
   if( lCount != 0 )
   {
      bRet = CWinApp::OnIdle(lCount);
   }
   return bRet;
}
