Hello Forum,

I have a small Problem with scaling of child forms and Dialogs.

I use Version 12.17 of AC. Delphi XE3.

I set the scale mode of the main form to sm125 at designtime. When I call the child form with the ShowDialog method, the firs time that the Dialog appears it appears as not scaled.

I tried to call the commands hide/Show/hide before the ShowDialog method and the form appears as scaled.

I think it is because the form is created before the Skin engine get active.

I tried to call refresh and redraw, but without success. The only Thing that helps is Show/Hide. But this causes a strange effect in front of the user.

The second time I call ShowDialog the Dialog appears as scaled.

What can I do to force the redraw in Background?

I hope someone can help!

Hello!

Try to place the TsSkinProvider on the child form, maybe it helps?

Otherwise, maybe you can share a demo with problem, which may be debugged?

I added now the SkinProvider component on every form that is present in the Project and linked it with the SkinManager of the Main Form.

It reacts very well. I don' t even Change any of the properties of the forms. Just insert the component in the form.

When I change the Skin or the scale mode in the main form, all other forms are set accordingly, without writing extra Code.

Many thanks for the Support!

Best Regards,

Francesco
