StackOverflow with TableGrids

edited July 2017 in General
Hello,

The following testcase:

- Put 2 TableGrid component on a report
- Set TableGrid1.MasterGrid to TableGrid2
- Set TableGrid2.MasterGrid to TableGrid1

The programm crashes with a stackoverflow while bth grids try to update
each other.

I know that this is something one would "normally" not do an the reason
why the stackoverflow happens is also clear.

But if an enduser uses the report designer it is not completely unlikely
that he produces this combination of property settings and crashes the
programm immediately.

So this combination of TableGrids referencing each other should be
captured by RB and should raise a normal exception or error message when
the user tries to assign this combination.

Ciao,
Ralf

    Hi Ralf,

    Thanks for the feedback.

    For RB 18.02 I'll add validation to prevent MasterGrid circular references.

    For the next major version I'll enhance the object inspector MasterGrid drop
    down list to contain only valid candidates. I'll do this for Delphi and RB
    object inspectors.

    Please update your newsreader to post using your full name.
