Re: GDI+ drawing - invalidate big rectangle in one user control then invalidate another user control (problem with big rectangle)

Hi,
First of all I found lot of article about this. Iam trying to solve it about few days without results.

I work on aplication, which should be something like report editor for printing.
I have a form with two scroll bars, grid and two rulers. Rulers and grid are User Controls.
For both controls I call:

Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint + ControlStyles.UserPaint + ControlStyles.Opaque _
                    + ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer, True)
        UpdateStyles()

befor drawing.

The grid drawing function:

Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
        Dim rcPaper = New Rectangle(nGrid * nPaperOffset, nGrid * nPaperOffset, _
                                     nPaperWidth, _
                                     nPaperHeight)
        Dim bmp As New Bitmap(Me.ClientSize.Width, Me.ClientSize.Height)
        Dim graph As Graphics
        graph = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
        ' Draw paper
        rcPaper.Location = rcPaper.Location + ptScrollOffset
        graph.Clear(Color.DarkGray)
        graph.FillRectangle(Brushes.White, rcPaper)
        graph.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, rcPaper)
        ' Draw the grid.
        If bShowGrid Then
            For x As Integer = 0 To bmp.Width Step nGrid
                For y As Integer = 0 To bmp.Height Step nGrid
                    graph.DrawLine(m_PenGrid, x, y, x + 0.5F, y + 0.5F)
                Next y
            Next x
        End If
        e.Graphics.DrawImage(bmp, 0, 0)
        ' Free object added
        bmp.Dispose()
        graph.Dispose()
        Debug.Print("Grid:OnPaint")
    End Sub

Ruler draw function:

Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
        'MyBase.OnPaint(e)
        Dim bmp As New Bitmap(Me.Width, Me.Height)
        Dim graph As Graphics
        graph = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
        graph.Clear(Color.White)

        Dim rStRect As SizeF
        Dim pOrigin As New PointF
        Dim string_format As New StringFormat

        If eStyle = ERulerStyle.rHorizontal Then
            ' Horizontal ruler
            Dim y1 As Integer = Me.ClientSize.Height
            Dim y2 As Integer = (2 * Me.ClientSize.Height) \ 3
            Dim y3 As Integer = Me.ClientSize.Height \ 3
            Dim y4 As Integer = 0
            Dim x As Integer = 0
            For i As Integer = 0 To Me.ClientSize.Width \ nGrid
                If (i + nPaperOffset) Mod nStepsPerUnit = 0 Then
                    'If i &gt; 0 Then

                End If
                y += nGrid
            Next i

            ' Show the mouse position.
            If bSelecting Then
                graph.DrawLine(m_PenRulerDrawing, x1, nY, x4, nY)
            Else
                graph.DrawLine(m_PenRulerNormal, x1, nY, x4, nY)

        End If
        e.Graphics.DrawImage(bmp, 0, 0, Me.ClientSize.Width, Me.ClientSize.Height)
        ' Free object added
        bmp.Dispose()
        graph.Dispose()
        Debug.Print("Scroll:OnPaint")
    End Sub

I handle scroll event like this:

Private Sub OnVScroll(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ScrollEventArgs) Handles VScrollBar1.Scroll
        ctrlVRuler.ScrollRuller(, e.NewValue)
        'Debug.Print("Call ctrlVRuler.Invalidate")
        'ctrlVRuler.Invalidate()
        ctrlMyGrid.ScrollPaper(, e.NewValue)
        'Debug.Print("Call ctrlMyGrid.Invalidate")
        'ctrlMyGrid.Invalidate()
        ' Invalidate "parent" control
        Invalidate(true)
    End Sub

Then while I am running appliation and scrolling I get this text in Inmediate window:

Grid:OnPaint
Scroll:OnPaint
Grid:OnPaint
Scroll:OnPaint
Grid:OnPaint
Grid:OnPaint
Grid:OnPaint

The candency of Grid repaint is rapidly bigger.
I am quit sure I call redraw (invalidate) just from scroll event during scrolling.

What do you think about this? How can I tell GDI+ to finish one controls re-drawing and then start other?

I probably wouldn't be able to answer your problem even if I could read your code but I'll never know because I can't read it.

Please, please, please edit your post, highlight the code part and then click the '

code block

' widget just above the Text: box. Then apply some indentation and spacing to make the code more readable. Alternatively delete the code hit the code block widget and then cut the code from your editor and paste it between the tags added when you clicked the widget.

You are far more likely to get an answer if you do that. Smile | :)

Re: GDI+ drawing - invalidate big rectangle in one user control then invalidate another user control (problem with big rectangle)

27-Oct-09 22:36

Yes I see. I removed it from another thread copy/past and that causes that it lost formating.

Re: GDI+ drawing - invalidate big rectangle in one user control then invalidate another user control (problem with big rectangle)

27-Oct-09 21:35

cheers,

first of all i'm wondering why you create your own graphics object at each run of OnPaint, beware because you need to destroy your created object with graph.Dispose().. and the PaintEventArgs already gives you the Graphic object!! graph = e.Graphics!!

second the OnPaint Method will run if your Form or Control you are overriding the OnPaint will repaint.
To draw an image of the Grid do not use the OnPaint method on the Form! here you would paint something for the grid and not for subcontrols.. Create a Function GetGridImage() or some like.. that you will call if you want to get an net image of the grid..

third in the Scroll.OnPaint you can call Invalidate for the Owner Control to force the re-draw, please take a look at some usercontrols created from other users here to understand how to use the OnPaint methods.. in your Case the OnPaint will nothing paint on the grid so this is nesty! the function will be called every time you move your mouse or the owner control will be repainted.

hope i could help!

bless

Re: GDI+ drawing - invalidate big rectangle in one user control then invalidate another user control (problem with big rectangle)

27-Oct-09 22:35

So I will answer also in points.
For first:
I tried to draw with double buffer method. I found on internet something like this. I added dispose for bmp and grap objects. Doesn't help.

For second:
I am not sure if I understand what did you write. I try to explain it one more time. I have grid control (with its own drawing function). Later grid control will also draw some other objects, like text boxes, etc... So the main form uses its own OnPaint (without overwriting or handling, ruler and grid have its own overwritten OnPaint method).

For third:
I replaced two Invalidate (for each control) with one invalidate(true) for owner form. Doesn't help. Can you give me some good example of how to use overwriting of usercontrol OnPaint ?

From my point of view it looks like ctrGrid control receive an event to repaint itself. Meanwhile (lets say in same time) ctrlRuler receive an event to repaint itself.
Re-painting of grid (due drawing huge rectangles) takes longer time. During this time will come another request to repaint both controls. And it happens that, the only grid control is repainted.
I don't know why grid control has bigger cadence of of re-painting, maybe it was added to owner form first. Confused | :confused:

I also hope you will help.

Re: GDI+ drawing - invalidate big rectangle in one user control then invalidate another user control (problem with big rectangle)

27-Oct-09 23:01

aaalllriiiight i did not see the dispose in your code sorry Smile | :)

now i can read it much better ^^

in case your paper has a size of 2000x1000 but your controlsize is only 200x100 you draw the created bitmap on the control, so every time the OnPaint is called you will draw the hole paper (2000x1000) instead of only a region of the hole paper (size of 200x100, at Location.Y=1200, Location.X=1500) this needs a lot of time and the result will not be displayed..

i would need to see the hole project to understand your code logic and to face out why paint events will be raised too much..

Re: GDI+ drawing - invalidate big rectangle in one user control then invalidate another user control (problem with big rectangle)

27-Oct-09 23:18

In fact repainting is slow just when I call

graph.Clear(Color.DarkGray)

Grid size: 803x442
Parent size: 853x508

Where can I send an email ?

Re: GDI+ drawing - invalidate big rectangle in one user control then invalidate another user control (problem with big rectangle)

27-Oct-09 23:34

hmm i would apprechiate if you would upload to codeproject or some else and send me a link to download the file..

try to use FillRectanlge(graph rect, color.darkgray) instead of clear this might be a lot faster. your graphic object is empty and i think clear performs more than setting the color..

Re: GDI+ drawing - invalidate big rectangle in one user control then invalidate another user control (problem with big rectangle)

28-Oct-09 3:16

I think to upload code here, I need to create an article.
So I created another simple example.
I have Form1.vb and UserControl1.vb.
Form1 size is 980x700.
On Form1 are two UserControl1 Picture1 (300x600) and Picture2(600x600).

Code for Form1:

Public Class Form1
    'Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
    '    Invalidate(True)
    'End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        HScrollBar1.Minimum = 1
        HScrollBar1.Maximum = Me.ClientSize.Width
        HScrollBar1.LargeChange = 100
    End Sub

    Private Sub MyScroll(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ScrollEventArgs) Handles HScrollBar1.Scroll    
        'Static t_start As DateTime = Now
        'Dim t_span As TimeSpan
        'Debug.Print("Elapsed time: " && t_span.Milliseconds)
        't_start = Now
        Invalidate(True)
    End Sub
End Class

For usercontrol1

Public Class UserControl1

    Private Sub OnPaintPic1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint
        Dim rcPaper = Me.ClientRectangle
        Dim time_start As DateTime = Now
        Dim t_span As TimeSpan

        Dim bmp As New Bitmap(Me.ClientSize.Width, Me.ClientSize.Height)
        Dim graph As Graphics
        graph = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
        'Graphics* graph = Graphics::FromImage(&bmp);
        ' Draw paper
        rcPaper.Location = rcPaper.Location '+ ptScrollOffset
        graph.Clear(Color.DarkGray)
        'Debug.Print("Grid size: " & Me.ClientSize.Width & "x" & Me.ClientSize.Height)
        'Debug.Print("Parent size: " & Parent.ClientSize.Width & "x" & Parent.ClientSize.Height)
        'graph.FillRectangle(Brushes.White, rcPaper)
        graph.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, rcPaper)
        ' Draw the grid.
        ' If bShowGrid Then
        For x As Integer = 0 To bmp.Width Step 10
            For y As Integer = 0 To bmp.Height Step 10
                graph.DrawLine(Pens.Azure, x, y, x + 0.5F, y + 0.5F)
            Next y
        Next x
        'End If
        e.Graphics.DrawImage(bmp, 0, 0)
        t_span = Now - time_start
        bmp.Dispose()
        graph.Dispose()
        Debug.Print("OnPaint: " && Me.Name && " elapsed time: " && t_span.Milliseconds)
    End Sub
End Class

From this example I know this:
Elapsed time for scroll message is about 0 milliseconds.

Elapsed time for draw usercontrol is about 30 ms.

When I call invalidate from timer with 100ms period immediate window shows something like this:
OnPaint: Picture1 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture1 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture1 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture1 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture1 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture1 elapsed time: 15

When I disable timer and repaint from scroll event it looks like this:
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 31
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 31
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 31
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture1 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 46
OnPaint: Picture1 elapsed time: 31
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture1 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 31
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 31
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 31
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 31
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 31
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15

From these results I think I need somehow to reduce OnScroll events or call another set of repaints after previous set of repaint has finished.

hi,

now try to add a Panel to the Form1 with Property AutoScroll to true.
than dock you Usercontrol1 into the Panel with DockStyle.Fill;

in your Usercontrol1 i don't understand why you are creating a bitmap to show the result on the usercontrol instead of painting directly to the usercontrol.

try this example do not print debugger output because this could be an indicator why its a slowly painting..

Private Sub OnPaintPic1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint
        Dim rcPaper = Me.ClientRectangle
        Dim time_start As DateTime = Now
        Dim t_span As TimeSpan

        e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.DarkGray, rcPaper)
        e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, rcPaper)
        ' Draw the grid.
        ' If bShowGrid Then
        For x As Integer = 0 To rcPaper.Width Step 10
            For y As Integer = 0 To rcPaper.Height Step 10
                e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.Azure, x, y, x + 0.5F, y + 0.5F)
            Next y
        Next x
        'End If
        
        t_span = Now - time_start

    End Sub

Just for an information how have I deal with this issue. I don't know if it is much clever, but it seems to work.

I added declaration of event into UserControl1:

Public Event DrawFinished(ByVal sControlName As String)

In Form1.vb code I added counter for items to draw nDrawItems, I added handling of DrawFinished event for both events and I modify Scroll event.
It looks something like this:

Public Class Form1
    Private nDrawItems As Integer = 0
...
    Private Sub Picture1_DrawFinished(ByVal sName As String) Handles Picture1.DrawFinished
        If nDrawItems = 0 Then Exit Sub
        nDrawItems = nDrawItems - 1
    End Sub

    Private Sub Picture2_DrawFinished(ByVal sName As String) Handles Picture2.DrawFinished
        If nDrawItems = 0 Then Exit Sub
        nDrawItems = nDrawItems - 1
    End Sub
...
Private Sub MyScroll(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles HScrollBar1.ValueChanged
        If nDrawItems > 0 Then Exit Sub

        nDrawItems = 2
        Invalidate(True)
        While nDrawItems > 0
            'Threading.Thread.Sleep(5)
            Application.DoEvents()
        End While
    End Sub

Now I have in Immediate window text like this:
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 31
OnPaint: Picture1 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 31
OnPaint: Picture1 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture1 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 31
OnPaint: Picture1 elapsed time: 15
OnPaint: Picture2 elapsed time: 31
OnPaint: Picture1 elapsed time: 15
