Hello,

I save/restore column-settings like this (short form only to demonstrate the type of saving to registry).

Save in form-close:

  myGrid.Columns.SaveToStream(stream);
  with TRegistry.Create do
      if OpenKey(myAppKey, true) then WriteBinaryData('myGrid', stream.memory^, stream.Size);

I restore the columns with code like this in form-create:

    if OpenKey(myAppKey, false) then ReadBinaryData('myGrid', stream.memory^,GetDataSize('myGrid'));

With Delphi 10 and Delphi 11 and AlphaControls 16.17 the column-width grows every time this code is executed. With sm125 it grows 25% each time, sm150 grows 50%. Using sm100 all works fine.

I work around it by decreaseing every column width by the factor of the scale-mode after loading it from registry.

Am I doing something wrong here? Is form-close or form-create the wrong place to do the save/restore? Or is this a bug in AlphaControls?

Thanks for any hint,
Siegbert

Hello, Siegbert
As I understand, you are saving scaled values of column sizes.
And when form is created, scaled values are loaded and scaled by the skin-engine later, again. Right?
I think, your solution is correct in this case, sizes should be decreased after loading or before saving.
I haven’t other ideas how to avoid it.
