Hallo,

my application with AlphaControls 7.21 runs fine at a couple of customers.

But at one customer the application starts and vanishes without any error message or visible exception.

Application.CreateForm is called but MyForm.OnCreate is not reached. After replacing all AlphaControls with the original Delphi controls the Application starts normally.

Any idea?

(And no, I cannot send you a demo.)

Did you try running the app with disabled skinmanager? Same or different behaviour? When the application vanishes without a trace it is usually a stack overflow that makes Windows terminate the application without any message. Also, Updating to 7.26 could help.

SkinManager is not active and should be set to active in OnShow (which is not reached).

Hello

So, OnShow(or OnCreate ?) is not reached and application is not skinned because sSkinManager is not initialized?

How you verifying a reaching of OnShow/OnCreate events?

Can you try latest version 7.26?

Finally we found out, that the programm was running on HyperV with only 8 bit color.

Increasing the color depth solved the problem.
