Hi All,
I am getting "E_OUTOFMEMORY", while calling "Save" method of
"IInkDisp". This occured only if we annotate ink in large scale.
Anyone faced similar problem? Please let me know if you have any
workaround.
I have checked my VC++ code for memory leaks.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone faced same issues?

Hi rah,

can you provide some more details?

1) Is this on XP or Vista?
2) how much ink do you have in your Ink object? (does it matter?)
3) how large is your scale to produce the error?
4) are you using the ViewTransform or the ObjectTransform to scale the ink?

Thanks,
Stefan Wick

Hi Stefen,
thanks for reply

I am developing an acticeX control, using VC++.
1) This control is deployed on XP with SP2, with IE6 and IE7.
2,3) I am annotating ink on image (using InkOverlay object), I can ink
on half of the image (I mean I can paint almost half image) without an
error. But, not able to find out the exact amount of ink, which can
safely annotated.
4) I am not using the ViewTransform or the ObjectTransform to scale
the ink.

here is code snippet -
//declaration
IInkDisp *ptrtoinkdispobj;
....
//collect the stroke
....
//save the ink
hrstatus = ptrtoinkdispobj-
>Save(IPF_GIF,IPCM_MaximumCompression,&varsaveink) ;

Here, I get error 0x8007000e - Not enough storage to complete this
operation.
I.e. "E_OUTOFMEMORY - Cannot allocate byte array" - as mentioned in
Tablet PC SDK help.

I think "Save" method is failing to allocate memory for its output
parameter "varsaveink", because it might not be able to find enough
space in machine's memory as we are inking on large scale (amount).

Do you think same? Or is there any other problem? Please advice.

Hi Rahul,

can you clarify what you mean by "we are inking on large scale"?

Are you inking very long, very thick or very many strokes?

Thanks,
Stefan Wick

Hi Stefen,

sorry for confusion.

Here I am inking very long and very many strokes.

Thanks,
Rahul

Hi Stefen,

Sorry for confusion.

I am inking very long as well as I have many strokes. Ink Width is 10.

Also, If strokes are crossing control's boundary, then I am clipping
such strokes, this increases total number of strokes on InkOverlay.

Thanks,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,

I am unable to reproduce the problem on my machine so far. I must be still
missing some detail.

Is there anything else special that your code does that might contribute to
this problem? For example: Are you using ExtendedProperties on the ink? Have
you implemented your own undo/redo stack for inking? etc.

Thanks,
Stefan Wick

Hi Stefan,
(sorry to misspell you name in previous posts)

I will try to give you detail working of control here.

Facts -
I am using - XP with SP2, IE6, IE7, Tablet PC SDK 1.7.
Its a VC++ windowed activeX control, used in web base application. (we
are upgrading from VB control to VC++ control - We dont face such
problem in VB)

Working -
We collect the stroke, here if stroke is crossing left or top boundary
of control, we delete the part of stroke which lies out of controls
boundary (Using Clip method), when user wish to save data, we encrypt
data (output parameter of save method) using Base64 encoding and send
to web application.
to save ink - hrstatus = ptrtoinkdispobj-
>Save(IPF_GIF,IPCM_MaximumCompression,&varsaveink) ;
Again when web page having control on it is initialise it get image
file and ink data in encoded format.
to load ink - hrstatus = ptrtoinkdispobj->Load(varinktoset);

Apart from this we provide two options -
Clear Ink - Delete all strokes - hrstatus = ptrtoinkdispobj-
>DeleteStrokes(0);
Erase Ink - Erase part of stroke as user use pen with inverted tip. To
achieve this we using event NewPackets, OnMouseMove and APIs like
HitTestCircle, DeleteStrokes, get_PolylineCusps, NearestPoint, Split
etc.

Also, we create composite image (save ink on image) using composite
ink utility.
Composite command - composite -compose over -geometry +$xpixel+$ypixel
$inkfile $fileback $out

We do save all ink co-ordiantes in vector, so that we can find minimum
X, Y co-ordinates and send to composite command. As and when we add
and delete stroke, I am updating this vector.

I hope this information is quite helpful.

Observation - Thoughts
My observation is when I open too many application on my PC, and then
try my application, I can ink less stroke than If there is no other
application opened on machine.

So I think this is an issue with the resource available. But, I am
able to reproduce it on 2-3 machines.

As Save method is failing, with error E_OUTOFMEMORY - Cannot allocate
byte array, I think, save method is not able to allocate memory for
its output variable from heap/machine' memory. (So this is depend on
memory available on machine. If this is case how can we overcome it? )

Let me know your thoughts on this.

Hi Rahul,

I am still not able to reproduce the problem on my machine. Can you try to
narrow it down on your side a bit more - maybe by creating a simplified app
that exposes the problem?

A few more questions:
1) What is WorkingSet/VMSize of your process before you call Save()?
2) How much memory does your computer have installed?
3) Does the problem also occur if you run your code in a regular app
(instead of running it in the browser)

Thanks,

Hi Stefan,

I was on leave for few days, so could not reply.

Here are answers to your questions
1) It is 80000KB (It is mem usage shown in Task Manager). Is it same
information you are asking? If no please let me know how to check
WorkingSet of an application at given point of time.
2) I have 512 MB RAM installed on my machine. Total paging size for
all drives: 1512 MB.
3) Yes. If I use my control in regular application, it gives such
error.

Hopefully I will be able to post simplified app by monday, 2nd July.

Regards,
Rahul

3) I could not use this ActiveX control in regular apps, as code to
save ink (using composite command) and to support functionality(what
we have in web app, or the way we use control in web app), we require
Unix m/c, which is not available at my end right now. (I will try to
get it done, but it might take some time.)

Hopefully I will be able to post simplified app by monday, 2nd July.

Hi Stefan,

Please let me know your mail id, So I can send you an application.
With which you will be able to reproduce the error.
I tried to mail you on stefanwickms@discussions.microsoft.com, but my
mail was bounced.

Thanks and regards,
Rahul.
