Hello everyone,

I am using GEF to create a sequence diagram editor. I have Graphicle Viewer
and Tree Viewer with flyoout palette, Overview Pane and Outline Page in my
editor. The problem i am facing is i get SWT.no more handles exception when
i repeatedly(three times) open a file having large no. of icons in it
(approximately 60). I have tried various options to dispose the images
during deactivate() call of all corresponding editParts. as follows:

Approach 1:
public void deactivate() {
if (isActive()) {
super.deactivate();
((ComplexTreeNode) getModel()).removePropertyChangeListener(this);
unregisterVisuals();
//REMOVE THE FIGURE OF THE MODEL
}
}

Approach 2:
public void deactivate() {
if (isActive()) {
super.deactivate();
((ComplexTreeNode) getModel()).removePropertyChangeListener(this);
getModel().getIcon().dispose();
// DISPOSE THE ICON USED BY THE MODEL
}
}

Still i get the same exception. Can anyone please help me solve this
problem.
Thanks,
-Neeraj

Hi,

The exception you are facing just indicates that the OS underneath your
applications doesn't allow more icons to be allocated. There is no
solutions to solve this, it is a limitation of the system.
A workaround could be to create at a single time only visible icons, and
when new icons are needed dispose the previous ones becoming unneeded.

Can you add some debug code to ensure that the icons are actually being
disposed?

cheers,

Thanks Manuel and Ian for the reply. I have found a place in my code where i
create figures multiple times for similer icons. I'll try to remove that
part from code.

Does each of your model objects hold on to an image handle? You shouldn't
have it that way.

Thanks Pratik,
I was infact making big mistake of not using imageregistry. I have it now.
And it works like a dream.
