Hi

Building the wxStyledtextcontrol sample, with digital mars on the wxWindows branch gives an error when text is selected to go to the clipboard (cut or copy).paste is Ok.

A message box pops up saying:

Error -2147221008 coInitialize has not been called

This does not happen with VC6, Borland, or gcc compilers

Any ideas appreciated
chris

Did you try calling

CoInitalize(0); // to initalize COM

?

Probably buried somewhere in the code is

#ifdef MSVC || BORLAND // miscrosoft specific
CoInitialize(0);
#endif

I dont use wxWindows anymore but it would be cool to add a #ifdef DM ( Or whatever Digital Mars is defined as ) for that.

Yes there was an ifdef around OleInitialize
