When I add an item with a string to my record, the leak is back (or still there)

 

I'm also unhappy with general memory consumption, which is very high at >1KB per record.

 

To keep this post alive...  

 

Someone had same problem a while ago, check this post: https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7921

 

 

 

a) Your suggestion is what MS$ is/was famous for.  It's not a bug, it's a known issue. We'll not fix the bug, but give you a workaround.

 

b) My project is for wide distribution (>15000 users) and we're a small outfit. We decided against using a data provider at the beginning of the project which now stands at 15k lines of code. Our users range from corporations to small business and not all are computer savvy. We prefer spending our support time to functionality and avoid "compatibility and installation issues", thus no caching in databases etc.  My app is due shortly, and my time is precious. With the exception of the memory leak the reportcontrol functions very well. 

 

c) The Virtual list sample in the standard samples: I added an entry form to load and unload the main form. The memory leak is less pronounced (approx 5MB)  but it's still there.

 

d) in the meantime I found an API (EmptyWorkingSet) that reduces the amount of WorkingSet / Private memory by swapping it to the pagefile.

Most users will not notice that I'm cheating.

 

e) I will make an effort to implement virtual mode in the Report that's causing the memory probs(with or witout a disconnected recordset). Ofcourse it happens to be the most complex one in my project with lots of grouping/sorting, conditional coloring, multiple selection etc.   The sample for Virtual List is rudimentary, glancing at how it handles grouping I fear I'll need plenty documentation.. but CJ helpfile is totally useless.

 

I hope to be able to read the support issue soonest. and we'll continue the discussion there. There's plenty of other todo's on my list.

 

Cheerz, Jurgen

Hardly my usual stuff, but I'm a terrier, and I want this solved, my app is due on june 1st, and the memory leak will be reason for refusal by my client.

=> meaning I wont get paid until I solve this. I changed from IGrid to CodeJock late in the game, and it set me back by a month. (It's a 14k line project and a demanding project manager for a commercial app.  I'm not too happy to switch to yet another control.

 

I've tried safemode. no luck. but this weekend I'll do ALL the footwork with my hardware. I'll try with 1Gb/2Gb/4Gb and several bios options.. and I'm sure I can dig around for an old VBA card that doesn't use shared memory (IF that is the problem). I'll bloody find the "situational" setting that ReportControl can't manage!

 

No worries, this will continue on monday.

 

Mybe I got confused, but I am certain that I cannot log in to support issue with the username/password i received when I opened the support issue.

 

I'm now updated to all the latest Bios/Drivers etc. I even bought some extra memory. But the issue is exactly the same, whether in XP, Windows 7 32 bit or Windows 7 64 bit.  I'll test with a standard MS Listview and report back (here or in the issue when I receive an updated/reset login)

 

Thanx for listening!, Jurgen aka keepITcool

Mark Doubson... please read this.

belongs to support ticket 21833, awaiting any reaction.

 

I've  changed memory modules, slots and bios settings. I've changed operating system(s).  Tested on WinXP,Win7(x32),Win7(x64)..  all have the same issue...   Fill the report ..clear it and some 35 to 50 MByte of memory remains locked until the application is terminated (either compiled or in VBide)
