SYMPTOMS
Using Spy++ with message logging on an owner-drawn combo box results in one
of the following errors:
First-chance exception in OWNCOMBO.exe (USER32.DLL): 0xC0000005:
Access Violation.
First-chance exception in OWNCOMBO.exe (KERNEL32.DLL): 0xC0000005:
Access Violation.
This exception is printed out in the Visual C++ debug output window. This
happens both on Windows 95 and Windows NT version 3.51.
RESOLUTION
This exception is caused by the Spy++ installed Windows hook function. It
doesn't cause the program to quit, so no action should be necessary.
