c# - ScrollToCaret throws null reference exception when focus lost -


this question has answer here:

i creating c# winforms app creates pdfs , outputs name of each pdf rich text box created. using scrolltocaret functionality automatically scroll textbox down each line created. additional detail, print method in separate class winform.

the issue running whenever program loses focus, scrolltocaret function throws nullreferenceexception

this segment of code throws error each time:

private void print<t>(t str)     {         var form = form.activeform pdfgenerator.form1;          try         {             form.richtextbox1.appendtext(str + environment.newline);         }         catch         {             form.richtextbox1.appendtext("couldn't print string");         }          form.richtextbox1.scrolltocaret();     }

with additional text

an unhandled exception of type 'system.nullreferenceexception' occurred in pdfgenerator.exe

additional information: object reference not set instance of object.

the program not run issues if not lose focus, if ever loses focus while generating pdfs consistently throws exception.

the program takes minute or 2 run, ability run in background important.

how stop scrolltocaret throwing null reference exception when program loses focus? have use other function of winforms richtextbox?

edit: understand null reference exception is; don't understand why being thrown when winform instantiated , functioning, ceases function when program loses focus. have not found documentation saying winform or child components uninstantiate when winform loses focus.

activeform may null when application doesn't have focus.

form.activeform property

a form represents active form, or null if there no active form.

just add null check following cast should skip issue. however, handling null reference not resolution issue. need find better way pass pdfgenerator.form1 instance print method.

var form = form.activeform pdfgenerator.form1;  if (form == null)     return;

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...
