.NET Forum / .NET Framework / .NET SDK / March 2004Red "X" problem with Overflow error
I have am writing .NET application which uses COM interop. Sometimes, while pressing buttons or interacting with the controls, an unhandled exception message appears due to an "Overflow error", with the information below. It always appears while drawing the form, but happens with different controls each time, and the control that was drawing at the time is replaced with a red "X" on a white background. I have searched the internet for any suggestions, but can't find anything that suggests what could be causing the problem. The only lead I have is that it seems to happen with Windows XP themes are enabled, but doesn't happen if the default "teletubbies" theme is used. Do you have any suggestions about how to fix this problem, or even what the error means? Thanks, Aaron Queenan. ----- See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.OverflowException: Overflow error. at System.Drawing.Graphics.CheckErrorStatus(Int32 status) at System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString(String s, Font font, Brush brush, RectangleF layoutRectangle, StringFormat format) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlPaint.DrawStringDisabled(Graphics graphics, String s, Font font, Color color, RectangleF layoutRectangle, StringFormat format) at System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox.OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.PaintWithErrorHandling(PaintEventArgs e, Int16 layer, Boolean disposeEventArgs) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmPaint(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) ************** Loaded Assemblies ************** mscorlib Assembly Version: 1.0.5000.0 Win32 Version: 1.1.4322.573 CodeBase: file:///c:/windows/microsoft.net/framework/v1.1.4322/mscorlib.dll ---------------------------------------- System Assembly Version: 1.0.5000.0 Win32 Version: 1.1.4322.573 CodeBase: file:///c:/windows/assembly/gac/system/1.0.5000.0__b77a5c561934e089/system.dll ---------------------------------------- Extensibility Assembly Version: 7.0.3300.0 Win32 Version: 7.00.9466 CodeBase: file:///E:/MKVIEW/SNAPPER/Excell_Plugin/Bin/Extensibility.DLL ---------------------------------------- System.Drawing Assembly Version: 1.0.5000.0 Win32 Version: 1.1.4322.573 CodeBase: file:///c:/windows/assembly/gac/system.drawing/1.0.5000.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/system.drawing.dll ---------------------------------------- System.Windows.Forms Assembly Version: 1.0.5000.0 Win32 Version: 1.1.4322.573 CodeBase: file:///c:/windows/assembly/gac/system.windows.forms/1.0.5000.0__b77a5c561934e089/system.windows.forms.dll ---------------------------------------- CustomMarshalers Assembly Version: 1.0.5000.0 Win32 Version: 1.1.4322.573 CodeBase: file:///c:/windows/assembly/gac/custommarshalers/1.0.5000.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/custommarshalers.dll ---------------------------------------- <snip> ---------------------------------------- ************** JIT Debugging ************** To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this application or machine (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

Absolutely no third party controls are being used. I have seen the problem occur with the .NET form, combobox and groupbox, always from the DrawString method. We are running the application on the local system. It's actually and Excel Plug-in, but the red "X" occurs even if I make it a standalone application.

The red X appears when an exception is thrown and not caught in a Paint event or OnPaint function. Essentially, it indicates a programming error -- developers must catch all exceptions.

Frank, thanks for your reply first of all. Second, this error is being thrown outside of any code I have written and can wrap in a try/catch. Basically there is no way for me to catch this error as it happens after the last line of my code executes. I have even tried wrapping the entire controlling method if you will in a try catch. End sub comes and goes and all is good...but then...bam...there's the red X. thoughts? thanks again. > The red X appears when an exception is thrown and not caught in a Paint > event or OnPaint function.

One of the parameters to DrawString is invalid in the GroupBox OnPaint code, that is drawing a disabled label. That is all you can tell from the stack trace. You will need to speak with the code author. If the author is MS, I suppose you found a bug. Otherwise, all you can do is guess and play until the problem might disappear. Perhaps change the font on the GroupBox, or prevent it from becoming disabled. - Frank > Frank, thanks for your reply first of all.

Hello, Make sure that you do your code change inside the GUI thread. In .Net GUI thread is separate with the application thread. I used to get this problem until I marshall all my changes (to the UI) inside the GUI thread. However you must be careful about which code you process in GUI thread/other threads as if you put too much processing in GUI thread it would seem that your application locks up. The keyword you should look at is the control.Invoke() search it on MSDN/Doco. Hadi > Frank, thanks for your reply first of all.
