DisplayLayout:SaveAsXml
posted

When I run this method (DisplayLayout:SaveAsXml), I get the following error

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

Here is the code that raises this error.

/* First I dynamically create valuelist items and attach to valuelist assigned to the grid column */

        bands = curGrid:DisplayLayout:Bands.
        curBand = CAST(bands[0],Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridBand).
        bandColumns = curBand:Columns.
        curColumn = bandColumns["RequestIdImage"].
        curColumnVl = CAST(curColumn:ValueList,Infragistics.Win.ValueList).
        curColumnVl:ValueListItems:Clear().
       
        AppStatic:WorkflowRequestIdList = "".
        FOR EACH BRequestId NO-LOCK BY BRequestId.RequestId:
            AppStatic:WorkflowRequestIdList = AppStatic:WorkflowRequestIdList +
                IF AppStatic:WorkflowRequestIdList EQ "" THEN
                    BRequestId.RequestId
                ELSE
                    "," + BRequestId.RequestId.                                                                       
        END.
       
        EXTENT(valueListItems) = NUM-ENTRIES(AppStatic:WorkflowRequestIdList).

        DO i = 0 TO NUM-ENTRIES(AppStatic:WorkflowRequestIdList) - 1:
            valueListItems[i + 1] = NEW Infragistics.Win.ValueListItem().
            valueListItems[i + 1]:DataValue = System.Convert:ToInt16(i).
        END.
       
        curColumnVl:ValueListItems:AddRange(valueListItems).

/* Next I assign the image property for each dynamically created valuelistitem */

        DO i = 0 TO NUM-ENTRIES(AppStatic:WorkflowRequestIdList) - 1:
            curColumnVlI = CAST(curColumnVl:ValueListItems:Item[i],Infragistics.Win.ValueListItem).
            FIND BAppImages NO-LOCK WHERE
                BAppImages.AppKey EQ "BPM_Request_ID" AND
                BAppImages.AppValue EQ ENTRY(i + 1, AppStatic:WorkflowRequestIdList) AND
                BAppImages.AppSeq = 0 NO-ERROR.
               
            IF NOT AVAILABLE BAppImages THEN DO:
                ASSIGN curColumnVlI:Appearance:Image = ?.
                NEXT.
            END.       

            myLongChar = BAppImages.AppImage.
            theAppImage = CAST(CONVERT:Base64ToImage(myLongChar),     /* see method below */

            System.Drawing.Image).curColumnVlI:Appearance:Image = theAppImage.

       END.

    METHOD PUBLIC STATIC System.Drawing.Image Base64ToImage
        ( INPUT base64String AS CHARACTER ):
       
        DEFINE VARIABLE myImage         AS System.Drawing.Image   NO-UNDO.
        DEFINE VARIABLE myMemoryStream  AS System.IO.MemoryStream NO-UNDO.
       
        DO TRANSACTION:
            ASSIGN
                myMemoryStream = NEW      

                    System.IO.MemoryStream(System.Convert:Frombase64String(base64String))
                    myImage = NEW System.Drawing.Bitmap(myMemoryStream)
                .
   
            myMemoryStream:Dispose().
            DELETE OBJECT myMemoryStream.
           
            CATCH e AS Progress.Lang.Error :
                   
            END CATCH.
           
        END.
       
        RETURN myImage.

 

If I change the above code to the code below assign the image property using an OrderedDictionary collection, I don't get the error.

This is the method that builds the collection (it is built up when the software launches)

   METHOD PUBLIC VOID SetImageCollection
        ( INPUT cImageType AS CHARACTER,
          INPUT cImageName AS CHARACTER,
          INPUT cImageFile AS CHARACTER):
             
        DEFINE VARIABLE cTmpChar AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
       
        cTmpChar = STRING(cImageType + "|" + cImageName).
       
        ImageListCollection:Item[cTmpChar] =
            System.Drawing.Image:FromFile(cImageFile).
       
    END METHOD. /* SetImageCollection */

This is the method that gets the image out of the collection that is assigned to the value list image property

    METHOD PUBLIC System.Drawing.Image GetStoredImage
        ( cImageType AS CHARACTER,
          cImageName AS CHARACTER ):
       
        DEFINE VARIABLE curImage AS System.Drawing.Image NO-UNDO.
        DEFINE VARIABLE cTmpchar AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
       
        cTmpChar = STRING(cImageType + "|" + cImageName).
       
        curImage =
            CAST(ImageListCollection:Item[cTmpChar],System.Drawing.Image)
            NO-ERROR.
        IF VALID-OBJECT(curImage) THEN
            RETURN curImage.
        ELSE
            RETURN ImageDefault.
       
    END METHOD. /* GetStoredImage */

So if I change my code above from

            myLongChar = BAppImages.AppImage.
            theAppImage = CAST(CONVERT:Base64ToImage(myLongChar),     /* see method below */

            System.Drawing.Image).curColumnVlI:Appearance:Image = theAppImage.

to this... /* just hardcoded a key value that I know is in the collection */

             curColumnVlI:Appearance:Image = AppStatic:FrameworkConstants:GetStoredImage*/
                    ( INPUT "Workflow", INPUT "Critical").

it works fine

What I don't understand is what the difference is since both GetStoredImage and Base64ToImage both return type System.Drawing.Image.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Doug,

    It's very hard to tell what's happening from the code snippets and the error message you listed here.

    Can you post a small sample project demonstrating the exception? You can attach a zip file to your post by going to the Options tab.

    If you cannot do that, then posting the entire call stack of the exception might help.
