I need help debugging a crash involving dialogues.

Hello,

I need help debugging a crash involving dialogues.

 

I’ve built a plugin for CC 2026 using the C++ plugin SDK, which works fine. As a next step, I wanted to implement a dialogue box.

 

Integrating the BasicDialog example worked well, but that wasn’t enough for me as I need tabs. So I tried to incorporate the BasicSelectableDialog example.

 

Unfortunately, InDesign crashes on launch. The last call I can see in the crash log is

CDialogObserver::AutoAttach()

 

I’ve also tried copying all the pre-processor macros from the example project file, but that didn’t work either.

 

Could someone please help me debug this?

I’ve attached the crash report.

 

Best regards

    Never mind, i’ve found the problem.

     

    I mixed up the ids for the DECLARE_PMID stuff and had duplicate entries.
