I am having to go through each of my sVirtualImageList controls and uncheck “UseCache”.

I am using the sVirtualImageList for the the sToolBar ImageList.

If “UseCache” is checked the images do not appear.

Is this a bug ? Please educate me about its use if this is not a bug.

Thanks.

Hi,

I've asked the programmer (Serge) to rewrite the sVirtualImageList component, so it's NOT cashing each and every picture at the beginning immediately , but should wait until any of the pictures being accessed. This way it speeds up program loading, and using less memory. (Storing ONLY those being used.)

See: ImageList caching topic…

But it should automatically appear, and it should render those, you wish to show! So it is probably a small bug.

I will test it today with the newest stable relase and report back.

If you want a fast solution, you can try to render each picture at the beginning by using this new procedure:

myVirtList.RenderCacheNow(-1); // parameter -1 means it should render ALL

Turning OFF the cache is using less memory, but slowing down paint process, because it has to calculate stretching and softening each time.

Cheers

PS: anyway … what do you mean by “each of my sVirtualImageList controls” ? Do you have more than 1-2 ? Why?

Simple. The toolbar has imagelist, hot imagelist and disabled imagelist. Therefore, I have need 3 imagelist which means I need 3 virtualimagelist controls too. That is unless there is a better way to utilize this.

Hello!

I think I have found a reason of the problem and I will fix it in the next release.

Great ! … you where faster than me 🙂

I have too many work now, and sadly could not find the reason why I can not compile with the new release.

Installed into a new directory, and now it does not find the AC… files, even if I add the folder to the search path :a1: )

Spent already 4 hours.

You saw topics in the “Installation” part? Maybe your problem has been solved there already?

OMFG … THANKS for the help ! :bravo:

I haven't ever realized there is a pinned INSTALLATION part of the forum. Saw only the Tips and Troublebleshooting topics yet. With this I was able to fix it in 1 minute 😛

(had to add search path to Tools/Environment options/Library/Library too. :18: )

1.) Can you please add this link :

http://www.alphaskins.com/showdoc.php?l=en&n=1

to the install.txt file to your package at the 2th line with:

“

More detailed installation with pictures:

“

…

and also it would be cool, if you could copy ALL Common questions, and typical error msgs to the end of text …

from here:

http://www.alphaskins.com/showdoc.php?l=en&n=2

This had saved me 4 hours 🙁

I wrote a long long letter this afternoon, clicked Send … and nothing happened 🙁 web site was off-line. So I've lost it.

The short version:

– Yes, it's a bug. Tested. Serge will probably fix it soon 😀

v9.11 >> toolbar problem solved ! That was fast, congrat…

Anyway,

I have found an other strange behaviour about memory consumption :

(Tested with the virt.list. DEMO program downloaded from this site.)

1. if I turn OFF caching = 40.2 MB

2. than I turn it ON >> = 33.7 MB (it drops DOWN ! ???)

3. run the test = 51.4 MB

4. … see 1.)

So basicly it seems like it works the opposite way it should, but the speed test shows other way !

– if I turn OFF cash > nothing should change ! (Already cached pictures should remain in memory)

– if I turn it on > max the first 4 visible pictures should be cached

Why is that ?

Interesting. I will research that.
