Greetings,
I’ve had some experience making apps with panda3d in python with decent success and have since tried to work in C++, which I suppose I’m a relative noob only having took 2 semesters of C++ in college.
My current problem is I’m running one of the very basic examples from the manual, and simply injected some TextNode and GraphicsWindow code for playing with the C++ equivalent classes.
The app runs fine up until the point that I actually make a call to a GraphicsWindow method, at which point I get the windows “test.exe has stopped working” message. Debugging it just seems to tell me about some assembly code error, which is probably unimportant but just incase…
First-chance exception at 0x0188c0c4 in Veritus.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000039c.
Unhandled exception at 0x0188c0c4 in Veritus.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000039c.
WindowProps = WindowGFX->get_properties();
->0118111C push eax
└>0188C0C4 mov eax,dword ptr [esi+8]the file is relatively the same minus the couple lines I added in the camera task, but here’s the whole thing in case I did something very wrong.

UIText = new TextNode( "node name" );
UIText->set_text( "oh hai there" );
NodePath textNodePath = window->get_aspect_2d().attach_new_node(UIText);
textNodePath.set_scale(0.07);
textNodePath.set_pos(-.95,0,-.95);
// Run the engine.
framework.main_loop();
// Shut down the engine when done.
framework.close_framework();
return (0);
}I haven’t seen any other errors, just 20 or so deprecated function call warnings. All the debugger seems to indicate about WindowGFX variable is that it has a void pointer.
Also, when I try to run the app from VS it states that libp3framework.dll was not found, though executing from the .exe directly seems to work just fine, or rather without calling any GraphicsWindow methods it does.
I’m working in VS2008 with Panda3D-1.7.2 on Vista Home Premium 64-bit
