Memory problem with BMP's and Tabs

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

Hi again,


in a few days from now i wil post a large program (source) i made in
Euphoria .It is a visualisation program for intrusion systems and fire
detection.

The program works ok , but ...(and here comes the BIG problem)

<<<<<It consumes a lot of memory when there are a lot of bmp's loaded>>>>

I work with a tabcontrol with several (about 30)tabitems, on each of this
tabitem there is bmp background. when i do a setbitmap() function for each
of the bitmaps it uses up all the memory (it allocates the bmp's in memory)


Could anyone tell me how i can free up the memory used for the bmp on
non-visible Tabitems,when i display another Tabitem

The program only needs to keep 1 bmp in memory and needs to load the other
(from disk) when i change Tabitem. This way the program would only use
about 2Mb of memory for the one background bmp
(for a 1024x768 Truecolor BMP)

Anyone who helps me will be mentioned in the about box of the prog.
(also in the commercial release, if stable functioning)

Thank you.

(a second problem i have to find out is how to write in an MS Access file.
 but i dont think an odbc engine for Euphoria is easy to make, because I
asked this question before and there was no respons from anyone, except for
some people who could really use it too. Can i use ISAM or SQL?)

Bye,
