MapInfo Pro Developers User Group

I'm trying to use the function MIXmlDocumentLoad but when my MapBasic program calls this function the whole of MI Pro (v17) crashes. The same code works fine in the 32 bit version of MI (v11.5).

The code I am using is:

 

Dim bParseError As SmallInt

Dim hXMLDoc As MIXmlDocument

Dim hXMLRoot As MIXmlNode

Dim hXMLNode As MIXmlNode

 

OnError Goto GetTitleError

 

'-------------------------------------------------

' Create a document handle

'-------------------------------------------------

hXMLDoc = MIXmlDocumentCreate()

 

If hXMLDoc Then

'-------------------------------------------------

' Load the document into the document handle

'-------------------------------------------------

Dim iXMLLoad As SmallInt

iXMLLoad = MIXmlDocumentLoad(hXMLDoc, "D:\LRCs\LERC\DataSelector\64bit\DataSelector.xml", bParseError, 0, 0)

 

I'm using:

Define MIXML_LIB_NAME "MapInfo.XmlUtil.dll"

in the 64bit and:

Define MIXML_LIB_NAME "GmlXlat.dll"

in the 32bit.

Have you tried compiling the code with a recent MapBasic compiler, like 16.0 or 17.0? I remember we made some changes to the def files for the HTML functions at some point. I don’t remember the exact version

Hi Peter

I'd just discovered this myself when you replied. Yes, it was the DEFINE statements in the XMLTypes.def file. The variables are now IntPtr instead of Integer. I had added the DEFINE statements to my application's own .def file instead of including the XMLTypes.def file, so I've corrected it now and the application no longer crashes MI.

Many thanks for your reply.
