.RedrawItem Method

Post by andrew » Wed Oct 24, 2012 7:05 pm

I seem to be having an issue with the ThumbnailEx control, particularly the ThumbnailEx.RedrawItem method.
I am not sure if I am missing something, but whenever I call ThumbnailEx1.RedrawItem(Idx) the thumbnail does not actually update.

Code: Select all

    Private Sub ThumbnailEx1_ItemDoubleClicked(ByVal Idx As Integer) Handles ThumbnailEx1.ItemDoubleClicked
        Dim edt As New Editor
        edt.FileName = ThumbnailEx1.GetItemFileSource(Idx)
        If edt.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            ThumbnailEx1.RedrawItem(Idx)
        End If
    End Sub
Calling .ReloadThumbnails causes the correct image to be displayed, but there are some obvious issues with using that as a work around.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Andrew

(Edit: I am currently running 9.2.0.1)

Quick update,
Setting the .PreloadAllItems to false allowed the thumbnail to update, but only once another thumbnail was selected.
Calling .SelectItem(Idx) to re-select the current thumbnail works and refreshes the image as desired.

This seems to work well enough, but I'll leave the question out there as I don't think this was how it was intended to function.

Code: Select all

    Private Sub ThumbnailEx1_ItemDoubleClicked(ByVal Idx As Integer) Handles ThumbnailEx1.ItemDoubleClicked
        Dim edt As New Editor
        edt.FileName = ThumbnailEx1.GetItemFileSource(Idx)
        ' edt.ImageIDX = Idx
        If edt.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            ThumbnailEx1.RedrawItem(Idx)
            ThumbnailEx1.SelectItem(Idx)
        End If
    End Sub

Now I am very confused

It seems that the problem just appeared to be fixed by setting PreloadAllItems = false. The true issue is that RedrawItem only works until all the thumbnails are loaded, by setting PreloadAllItems = false we stopped loading all the thumbnails until required (assuming there are more thumbnails that fit in the control)
At this point the RedrawItem method works fine (though you do need to still call the SelectItem, or seleted another thumbnail) once all the thumbanils are loaded the RedrawItem method no longer functions.

Hello Andrew,

Unfortunately it is totally impossible for me to understand the issue since I need to know the Thumbnail loading context.
So it should be great if you could reproduce the issue in a standalone application that you can share with the dev team through https://www.gdpicture.com/support/getting-support-from-our-team, so we will be able to quickly provide a solution.

Kind regards,

Loïc
