    Hi!

    I'm planning to buy Alpha controls and currently play with AlphaLite for initial testing.

    During testing I experienced some strange problems. I test using Windows XP and usually have it's “Windows classic theme” enabled but when I enable Windows XP theme i have some strange effects. One is that when a frame is used and it's visibility is changed that the background is not correct and copied parts of the main form.

    To test it I've added a small test program and some screenshots.
    Load the application and press the “Press me” button a few times. the first and second time the frame is shown the background is different. Later, delete the Memo field of TFORM1 and start the application again or enable windows classic theme to see the differences.

    One other problem I noticed is that when my mouse is moved over the exit button of the form the “hover” graphic is copied to the top left corner of the Screen instead of the upper right corner of the Form. This looks very strange and also happens sometimes in windows classic theme.

    Do theese problems only exist in the lite version?

    Best regards and thanks in advance,

    Kai

    Hello and thank you very much for an example.
    In the full version this problem does not occurs if TGroupBox is defined in the SkinManager.ThirdParty property or if used TsGroupBox control.
    I see a problem with drawing and I'll try to fix it in the Lite version, groupbox must have just standard kind, but I can't guarantee it.
    As a temporary solution for the Lite Edition I can suggest to place TsPanel control under GroupBox (with SkinData.SkinSectionProperty = 'MENUITEM', for a full transparency).
