.TextOut: Problem with updating to new version

[bigolslabomeat]

my old asp code has stopped working now I have installed a new version and I can't get my head round the documentation, could anyone help?

Code: Select all

With ctrl
	.enablelzw= True
	.LoadBitmap file
	
	.FontName = "wingdings"
    .FontSize = 12
	.FontBold = true
    
	Do While NOT rsDoing.EOF
		.TextOut "l", rsDoing("maplocationx") - 4, rsDoing("maplocationy") - 4, RGB(255, 255, 0)
		rsDoing.MoveNext
	Loop

	response.contenttype = "image/GIF"
	response.binarywrite .SendBinary
end with

The idea is that it loads this map and inserts dots at the specified co-ordinates. This is achieved by the character "1" in wingdings which happens to be a dot. When running under windows server 2003 I get this error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01fb'

An exception occurred: 'TextOut'

/scripts/flirtmap.asp, line 29

What has changed with this function and how do i use it now?

Thanks in advance

Which version do you used?

Code: Select all

	Do While NOT rsDoing.EOF
		.TextOut "l", rsDoing("maplocationx") - 4, rsDoing("maplocationy") - 4, RGB(255, 255, 0)

I don't see errors in your code!
The picture loaded is in RGB 24bits?

I once had an application which worked fine on Windows NT, but not on Windows NT Server. Does your code run in a normal (non-server) environment?

Just to make sure: I assume that the even simpler code

Code: Select all

Do While NOT rsDoing.EOF
	Debug.Print "l", rsDoing("maplocationx") - 4, rsDoing("maplocationy") - 4, RGB(255, 255, 0)
		rsDoing.MoveNext
Loop

does work - does it?

pierre, the picture loads fine without the .textout line

helmut, I tested the db connection and the return of values all works fine, it's just the textout function!

I had this working fine on a windows 2000 machine with a version of gflax i can't remember, and now porting the same code to a windows 2003 machine with the latest (2.07 i think) and it just comes up with that error whenever .textout is used. Could it be an issue with windows not letting gfl access the font folder? Anyone got any experience of gfl with windows server 2003?

cheers

I sent an e-mail to <Mail address removed by moderator - see Rules and Guidelines>, is that correct?

Sorry!

Me again!

Thanks to Pierre for his rapid reply and his efforts, however I may need to investigate an alternative method.

How do I get gfl to do a similar thing, but with images? So instead of outputting text at a co-ordinate, it places another image at a co-ordinate. How do I code that?

I try to understand why?
Else you can use DrawImage
