Virtualized PictureBox cells

[Sudharsini Ravikumar]

Hi

I load a huge amount of data into the grid (single column grid) where most of the rows contain images. The way I load image is

Dim sp As PictureBoxStyleProperties = New PictureBoxStyleProperties(e.Style)
sp.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.Zoom
sp.StyleInfo.HorizontalAlignment = GridHorizontalAlignment.Center
sp.StyleInfo.VerticalAlignment = GridVerticalAlignment.Middle

Dim fs As New System.IO.FileStream(imgPath, IO.FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim bm As New Bitmap(fs)
fs.Close()
fs = Nothing

sp.Image = bm

With this I get the Out of memory exception. So I wanted to make the image cells alone virtual. I expected thr QueryCellInfo event to be fired for a cell only when the cell is visible. But this is fired for all rows. I don't understand how to implement this.

Also when I load the grid initially I set a place holder image from the resource. Then when the grid is scrolled and a new image row becomes visible want to set the actual image to be displayed.

How can I do this?

Thanks a lot for your help. Its much appreciated.

Hi Sudha,

You can use the PrepareViewStyleInfo/QueryCellInfo event to shows the image in a gridcell on demand. PrepareviewStyleInfo event does not store any styleInfo properties in a grid. It just set the visual apperence of the grid. Here is a code snippet that shows this task.

Private Sub gridControl1_PrepareViewStyleInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As PrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs)
If e.ColIndex = 5 Then
Dim grid As GridControl = sender as GridControl
Dim cellRange As GridRangeInfo = GridRangeInfo.Cell(e.RowIndex,e.ColIndex)
If grid.ViewLay.VisibleCellsRange.IntersectsWith(cellRange) Then
'Visible Cell code here...
'e.Style.CellType = "PicturBoxCellType";
Else
'Non Visible Cells.
End If
End If
End Sub


Best regards,
