Preview hangs on loading archivereader

rbuser

Hi,

we are reading an archived report from disk in order to display it on a
preview window.
Some customers report, that the report is displayed correctly but the
cursor keep a hourglass and previewwindow cannot be used, our software
has to be killed by processmanager.
The code is:

frmListePreview1.ppViewer1.Report := frmListePreview1.ppArchiveReader1;
frmListePreview1.ppArchiveReader1.ArchiveFileName := DataFile;
frmListePreview1.ppArchiveReader1.PrintToDevices;
frmListePreview1.ShowModal;

Could there be a threading problem between loading and displaying?
Something with the tppPublisher-Object?

Hi Carsten,

Yes this could very well be a threading issue. To find out, try setting
the SinglePageOnly property (of the PreviewFormSettings or TppViewer) to
True and see if it solves the problem.

If this is the problem, we will need an example of this we can run here
in order to track down and fix the issue.

Hi Nico,

setting "ppViewer1.SinglePageOnly:=true" did not solve the issue, it
even caused an EAccessviolation in ppDrawInfo.pas, 1077 on drawing a
Jpeg-Image.

Any other ideas?

Hi Carsten,

If you still get the error when setting SinglePageOnly to True, it is
likely not a threading issue. Does this occur with every archive or
just certain archives?

Please create a simple example demonstrating the issue and send it to us
in .zip format so we can research what is happening.

I am trying to reproduce it reularly, but i could not do it.

Someitmes a report works, sometimes it fails.

Could it be an issue with a virus-scanner?
File is stored from database into a temporary file for loading into
reportbuilder. Maybe any virus-scanner keeps its hand onit and
interrupts loading .......

Hi Carsten,

We have not heard of a virus scanner causing an issue like this however
an easy way to check would be to disable all virus scanning and security
apps and see if you can recreate the issue.

Unfortunately if we are unable to see the issue here with an example,
there is little chance we can find out exactly what is happening.
