I reckon that's a bit extreme. Sometimes I try to help.

No.. no.. wait. Sometimes I do help. So you are completely wrong... I mean, you are such a liar.

... You gotta admit, I'm pretty cool.

No?

I do admit that you had several useful posts (without any cynical tone here). But you also had as many posts which were completely out of scope or simply wrong. And I just felt to hint you about this. Sorry for the over generalization.

I'll let you know.. I was making fun when I said

So you are completely wrong... I mean, you are such a liar.

I haven't gone through and checked all my posts, but honestly I think more often than not I am helping or trying to.
But I admit I have joked around a few times, a fair few times, or maybe been sarcastic in some sense without knowing all details.

In respect to this post or bug, I was talking crap in a way. I just meant I can't believe it hasn't been noticed until now since irrlicht has been around many years.

hybrid, you are like my Nemesis. That is why I respect you.

No... that is one reason I respect you.
The others I shall keep secret until my death my nemesis. muhahahaha

So the question remains, how can you implement irrlicht to run it in an mfc child window and closing it manualy without the complete program shuting down and with the ability of releasing the mem. If you find something relevant, I would appreciate if you could share the full code, till that I will run my own version. Thanks again!

Hi,

This is over a month old and I wonder, did anyone find a solution?

I'm having the same problem using Irrlicht 1.7 window inside Qt, if I do device->closeDevice() it kills the mother window.

Any tips, work-arounds?

Thanks in advance!
/regards

It is interesting that nobody found this error till yet.Maybe they are working in irrlichts custom window...
This must be fixed in 1.8 somehow.
I suggest you dont use :

device->closeDevice();
just drop it.
However I dont know exactly what happens if you skip this step, maybe the device doesnt get released?
