Access Violation Exception while trying to set value for a custom control (Textbox with auto suggestion list in .net windows forms)
Hi I'm trying to set value for a custom control. Control is a textbox in windows forms, but has the feature of auto suggestion list (Like Ajax auto complete extender). User can type for matching item or click on dropdown to select an item from the list.
Below are the error details.
---------------------------
Information
---------------------------
System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
at OpenSpan.Interop.UtilitiesInterop.ExecuteSetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd, Boolean& pResult)
at OpenSpan.Interop.SystemsInterop.SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hwnd)
at OpenSpan.Adapters.Windows.WindowHelper.SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hwnd)
at OpenSpan.Adapters.Windows.Window.SetForegroundWindow()
at OpenSpan.Adapters.Windows.Window.SendKeys(String keys, Boolean focus)
at OpenSpan.Adapters.Virtual.VirtualTargets.VirtualControl.SendKeys(String keys, Boolean focus)
at OpenSpan.Adapters.Controls.Control.SendKeys(String keys, Boolean focus)
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Finally it ends up showing error.

Hello !
Issue got resolved after upgrading Pega Robotics Studio to latest version (8.0.1091).

You will likely need a translator to work with the control directly. If it is a .Net control you can write those yourself (although it does require some amount of programming knowledge). See the article below.
https://docs-previous.pega.com/creating-ui-connectors.
If you are not able to do the programming, you could try using SendKeys to work with the control. If this is RPA, then that will most likely work out fine. If you have users involved (RDA), there is a chance that SendKeys could be intercepted by the user, although for the most part this isn't highly likely.
