Could not obtain OLE control window handle

Hello, I am integrating a C# SDK, Nuitrack, as a plugin. Everything is working fine when I was writing codes and testing it on a existing empty patch. However, once I saved my finished patch and re-open it, I got the following error: “Could not obtain OLE control window handle”. Do you have any idea of this happening?

Here is the Exception Log:

i’m afraid this is a bit too generic. you’d have to give us a bit more information what you’re doing there… also some code would help…

Thank you @joreg . Having had more test, I found out that the error would only be thrown after the SDK (Nuitrack) 's commercial license is activated. Thus, the situation cannot be simulated with trial version. And, the error happens at the moment when vvvv wants to open a new window. e.g., right-click to open a sub-patch. Thus, I guess the problem is in the side of SDK’s license checking algorithm. Erm… how can I know how vvvv open a window? Could I write a similar C# program to open windows, and encounter the same error? If yes, then I could send my c# testing program to Nuitrack, and ask for their support. Thanks.

Btw, my plugin was written in c# plugin, and now trying to access the SDK in VL, and see any difference.
