GDI Exception in 4.3 version.

[Ravi]

Hi,

Iam using syncfusion 4.3 version, I got the following exception in GroupView control. This exception occurs occasionally, I cannot reproduce it regularly. Whenever an exception occurs a big red cross mark will be displayed. Any ideas/suggessions to resolve the problem. I have faced this problem with 4.3 version only with 4.2 version same code works fine.

System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException: A generic error occurred in GDI+.

Thanks for choosing Syncfusion products.

Hi Anupama,

I haven''t set any properties in Form_Load event. Below is the designer generated code. Iam using around 10 group view controls and I have pasted designer code related to only one group view control. All other group view control''s code is similar.

private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.crmGV = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.GroupView();
//Initialisation is done for all the group view controls which i used

this.groupBar.AllowDrop = true;
this.groupBar.Controls.Add(this.crmGV);
//All the group view controls are added to GroupBar control

this.groupBar.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Left;
this.groupBar.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Tahoma", 8.25F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((System.Byte)(0)));
this.groupBar.GroupBarItems.AddRange(new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.GroupBarItem[] {
this.crmGroupBarItem,
this.salesGroupBarItem,
this.inventoryGroupBarItem,
this.manufacturingGroupBarItem,
this.glGroupBarItem,
this.arGroupBarItem,
this.apGroupBarItem,
this.fixedAssetsGroupBarItem,
this.hrGroupBarItem,
this.adminGroupBarItem});
this.groupBar.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 80);
this.groupBar.Name = "groupBar";
this.groupBar.SelectedItem = 0;
this.groupBar.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(152, 373);
this.groupBar.TabIndex = 5;
this.groupBar.Text = "groupBar";
//
// crmGV
//
this.crmGV.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Tahoma", 8.25F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((System.Byte)(0)));
this.crmGV.LargeImageList = null;
this.crmGV.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(2, 23);
this.crmGV.Name = "crmGV";
this.crmGV.SelectedItem = 0;
this.crmGV.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(148, 151);
this.crmGV.SmallImageList = null;
this.crmGV.TabIndex = 0;
this.crmGV.Text = "crmGV";
this.crmGV.GroupViewItemSelected += new System.EventHandler(this.crmGV_GroupViewItemSelected);

//
// crmGroupBarItem
//
this.crmGroupBarItem.Client = this.crmGV;
this.crmGroupBarItem.Text = "CRM";
}
