Ok, I have found the problem and it was not AlphSkins!

I have been using a component that remembers the Form locaton on the desktop. It is called PJWdwState by DelphiDabbler. When I disabled the component, the problem went away. I have now removed that component from all my forms. Sorry for the trouble!

Hi

Yes, sSkinManager1.AnimEffects.FormShow.Active ptoperty is True.

All my controls on all forms are AlphaSkin controls.

Also, when I change SkinManager.Active property to FALSE, the problem goes away.

Thanks

Dear Support,

Have you been able to find anything with my problem?

Thanks,

Thank you for a file. I not see potential problems there.

You have slow paint of form when this form is shown?

You have one slow form or all forms in your project are slow?

Can you show me screenshot of the slow form or Dfm-file for this form (Dfm is better)

Try to change sSkinManager1.AnimEffects.FormShow.Active to True.

No, the dfm I sent you was my DataModule.

All forms display this same affect.

I cannot give you a screenshot because it happens to quickly but I have uploaded an avi file

that shows the problem. You can pause it between 24 and 26 seconds and position the video manually

to see what I am talking about.

Thank you for your attention to this. 🙂

I now have removed SkinManager component, deleted from Uses Clause, and put new SkinManager component on my DataModule. No difference.

Is anyone in AlphaControl support going to help?

Kind Regards,

Bill

My DataModule contains the SkinManager. It is attached. Thanks!

It happens to me no matter which Skin I choose.

I wonder how often this forum is checked by Support persons. I did Minichat yesterday and sat there for over 5 minutes and no one answered me.

Maybe we can get this resolved soon?

Yes, I have seen that topic. Here are my responses to the your suggestions in that topic:

Some reasons of slow forms drawing :

>> 1. Using old skins (*.asz), don't forget about internal skins too.

I am using all skins from 7.29 installation

>> 2. Using own skins with not optimized sections (look warnings for skin in the ASkinEditor tool). Also, I can check and optimize your skin for free.

I have not created any skins.

>> 3. Changing of controls SkinSection properties in application (SkinSection property must be changed carefully because some SkinSections in skin may be non-optimized for a fast drawing).

The SkinSection property of all controls on all form have not been changed.

>> 4. Forms without TsSkinProvider component may be initialized slowly.

All form have a TsSkinProvider component.

I should also tell you that all forms in my apps are displaying the same problem.

The SkinManager component is located on my DataModule.

Which email address to I send DFM file to?

Thanks for your help.
