I will try to create a small application that will show this bug.

So far, my simple “test” applciation that I am creating to demonstate the problem is not showing the redraw problem. The actual applciation is way to complex (and private IP) to be able to share online for support.

All that I cna say for sure is that I was not having these problems prior to upgrading. The new version has solved some other major problems related to the Delphi IDE freezing when I changed pageControlTabs so I do not really want to go backwards by downgrading AC again … but at present, with these redraw issues, V7.60 is not stable enough to for me to release my product.

Is anyone else experiencing this???

Thanks…

The attached files show a similar bug although not quite the same. Hopefully they both have the same root cause so solving for one may resolve the other as well.

In the attached (Delphi 2007) project, there is a main form as well as a sub form which contains two tabs. Click the button to toggle the sub-form's visibility. If TabSheet2 is “active” when the form is shown, the second row of scrollbars are not being drawn at all. If you switch to TabSheet1 and back again to TabSheet2, the second row of Scrollbars are now drawn fine.

The app also does a bit of manipulation of the scrollbars (size, location, position/value and Skin Manager) during OnResize and OnShow events.

I too am having this problem (as shown in the attached AVI) but my application is also too complicated and private for me to give code for.

Hello support…

I would like to ask for an estimated timeframe for having this issue resolved.

We have customers waiting for product and they will not accept the application while it is in this state.

I need to have some sort of answer for them soon…one eway or another.

Thanks…

Hi Serge:

I have grabbed the new PAS file and recompiled/installed. So far, it looks like it is fixed. We will test more and if we find any further issues, we will post back here again.

Thanks!

After a few days of testing, I have heard back from our current customer that the issue is NOT completely resolved.

In some cases the scroll bar “slider” is not being redrawn with the skin (as shown in the very first screen shot).

Sorry – back to the drawing board.

Do you uses several SkinManagers in the project?Maybe you have new instructions for me how to reproduce an issue?

Hi Serge:

Yes – I had to disable that e-mail address as it was getting a ton of spam delivered to it. I have updated my e-mail address in the profile now.

I do use several (3) Skin Managers in my project. All three 'Managers' use the same skin, but with different hue and saturation settings to visually indicate left, right and “global” parameters.

I have been working around this in the short term by manually adding in a pg_ctrl.updateActivePage every time that a page control is changed. It is working for the moment but it is certainly a brute force solution and hopefully not required for the long term.

I do not know if/when I will be able to spend more time trying to create a share-able app to help you find/reproduce/fix the issue.

Hello again:

We have been able to create a small test application for you to see and debug this issue.

I have attached the source code for the test app to this post.

[attachment=5564:ACDEMO2.zip]

I have also created a video to show how to perform the test:

http://youtu.be/jeFmwJ_ZjhI

We are getting many complaints from our customers about this as well as the ScrollBar Hover issue (http://www.alphaskins.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=6928)

Note: …the above only seems to be an issue when the ScrollBar is placed on a TsPageControl.

Please advise as to when this issue might be resolved. This has become a critical issue for us.

Best regards…

Hi Serge:

Thank you very much for addressing this for us. I have downloaded and re-installed using the new scrollbar.pas file.

My initial tests all look promising. We will be testing over the next few days. If there are any problems found, we will post them here.

Cheers…

Shawn
