Why are access violations not shown in popups with EurekaLog ?

[dormky 1]

When the program gets an access violation error, the debugger shows it fine. But when running the exe (the debug exe), it is not shown. I'm using EurekaLog and I suppose there's a setting causing this, but I can't find it.

I'm using Delphi 10.3. Thanks !

There is probably a try...except block where this exception occurs that will catch the exception.

No there isn't, I had to put one with a SHowMessage() in order to see it. The code is in a FormShow call.

Then the exception occurs deeper and you catch it with the try...except block. I don't see your code so I'm guessing...

Try to disable EurekaLog and see.

Then there IS a try..except involved, but its inside the VCL framework wrapping the call to the event handler (and most other events, for that matter).  That is why, for example, if you raise an exception inside an OnClick event and don't catch it yourself, you will still see a default popup message appear.  There is a default try..except inside the framework for handling UI errors.

It is possible to also capture handled exceptions, but it is costly.
