Crashes when using autocomplete



Hi everbody,

everytime I use autocomplete feature for textbox or combobox, my application crashes with a Win32-Error exactly at the point, where the autocomplete should kick in.

I have no chance to trap this error, because it seems to occur in browseui.dll, which apparently is used by autocomplete.

My system is Windows XP SP2 with IE6 and Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite.
If I didn't miss something, I have applied all availiable patches, updates and service packs.

Using a Windows 2000 SP4-System, everything works fine. The error on XP occurs on my development machine as well as in a VMware-Environment and systems of my customer, who tested on on different machines.

I'm wondering I didn't find anything about this problem on the net. I think either nobody except me is using autocomplete or I do something basically wrong?

Here's my code:

---------------
Textfield.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource
Textfield.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend
Textfield.AutoCompleteCustomSource.AddRange(autocompleteData())

(The crash is occuring regardless of the setting of AutocompleteMode)

Regards,

Mathias Wuehrmann
