GroupView crash with Icon 32x32

[Miguel Garvie]

When trying to add an item to a GroupView control using an Icon from the large image list from an icon format (.ico) file of 32x32 of either 4 or 8 bits I get an exception on the screen "Invalid parameter used" and then inside the GroupView control is painted:
"
System.ArgumentException: Invalid parameter used.
at System.Drawing.Bitmap.LockBits( Rectangle rect, ImageLockMode flags, PixelFormat format)
at System.Windows.Forms.ControlPaint.CreateHBitmapTransparencyMask....
"

I am using Syncfusion 3.2.1.0

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Miguel

Just to add that when the same icon files are used as small images they are shrunk and displayed correctly.

Also, bitmap (.bmp) files work fine as 32x32 images.

Hi Miguel, I have tested for this issue. The Icons associated with the GroupView Items seem to be working fine. Please take a look at the sample attached and let me know whether I have understood your problems correctly. If you still experience the same problem, please kindly modify the sample to show the issue. Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products. Regards, Mano J

Hi Mano,

As I mentioned earlier, it works fine with bitmaps but doesn''t with icons. It works with the 16x16 icons and stretches it to 32x32 but doesn''t work with native 32x32 icon.

I''ve worked around this by loading the icon files and then converting them to bitmaps, so from now on this issue is more for anyone else who may have the same problem.

Cheers,
Miguel
