changing layout crash the IE

Hi,
We are using a FlowChartX ActiveX control, Professional Edition version 4.1.0.0.
we are using the flowchart to display an hierarchy diagram of our product - boxes.
In case the flow chart display many entities - 5000 boxes and 5000 arrows and the user is changing the layout to auto layout, we get a runtime error over the iexplorer.exe.
The crash happend when we run over over all the arrows and changing every arrow to auto:
arrow.AutoRoute = true;

do you have an explanation for that? is there a work around? what do you suggest ?

Hi,

It could be caused by an out-of-memory error. Try using a larger RoutingOptions.GridSize. If you make the grid size twice larger, the algorithm will require 4 times less memory.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Hi,
I have changed the property (RoutingOptions.GridSize) you mentioned from 12 to 50 and suddenly the iexplorer.exe didnt crash.
Can you please specifiy what is the meaning of this property and what is the limit (can i put 1000 for example ) and what is the trade-off for using it.
Where can it affect my implementation?

Thanks alot in advanced

Hi,

The routing algorithm creates a grid whose pieces are of that size. The grid covers the whole diagram, so if the diagram is very large and the grid size is small, it might need a lot of memory (diagram_width / grid_size) * (diagram_height / grid_size) * 4 bytes. Additionally, each path found in that grid requires some memory. The drawback of setting a larger grid size is that the grid might treat empty spaces between nodes that are close to each other as occupied, and not allow links to pass between these nodes.
