Vista - Not enough storage space to process the command - Resizing Picture box

As part of a program I'm writing, I have a picture box, loaded up with an
image. The picture box is set to automatically size the image in it to fit
the bounds of the picture box.

The picture box sits inside another container.

To pan the image, I'm adjusting the left/right properties of the image.

To zoom the image, I'm adjusting the height and width.

The problem comes, when I zoom past a certain point (haven't figured out
exactly what point yet), I get the error "Not enough storage space to
process the command".

I'm fine with having limited zoom capability, but I obviously need to set
some kind of maximum height/width on the picture box so that I don't
generate this error.

Anyone know what the magic number would be? Or how to determine it
(hopefully not the brute force approach)?

Dale,

Can you inform us how much memory is installed on your computer what type of
OS include bit version etc.

term), my system has 3GB of physical RAM running Windows Vista 32bit

drive space

So you have 2Gb usable memory, and the image you are using is?????

That is the max of a 32Bit system to use direct.

The image is (roughly) a 4MB JPEG. (I don't think RAM is the issue here)

Dan,

You write: "The picture box sits inside another container".

For you this is probably clear, for others this is complete dust, I don't
know if somebody can help you, but I think that you should make this part
cleaner.

I 've searched Google and I see a lot of unresolved forums questions about
this.

"Cor Ligthert[MVP]" <Notmyfirstname@xxxxxxA container, being a control that 'contains' other controls. Maybe that
isn't the current paradigm (I'm coming from VB6...)

As an example, a "TabControl" is a container, as is a picture box. Basically
anything that has its own coordinate system is a container. In this
particular case, I'm using the 'split container' control, and then I have a
picture box control on the 'split container'.

I move around the picture box within the coordinate space of the split
container to show different piece of the picture at various zoom levels.

I don't think this is particularly relevant to the problem at hand, which is
why I didn't go in to detail on it.

Dale,

I thought that you had your images in a kind of extra class and that you
wrote that the picturebox was sitting on that.

However, I don't think we can see it. In your case I would put two labels on
my screen where I displayed the width and the height all the time.

I never saw your problem in the newsgroups.
