I just downloaded and compiled the Version 9 beta.

Generally it does fine, but there are a number of serious bugs.

Unfortunately I use a rather complex setup, (Forms are docked into the mainform using the LMD docking pack) which makes it difficult to generate demo-programs that show the buggy behaviour.

However, all of that worked with the previous versions of AC (Version 8.x)

So, just a short list:

After the first start of the application a couple of forms are created and automatically docked into the main form.

*) Now there are 2 forms that suddenly seem to be Transparent to the previous content of the main form. (01_fail.png).

*) After resizing (or somehow toggling a repaint, e.g. it's enough to launch a screen capture tool) the forms show as they should (02_after repaint.png)

*) If I switch to a different collection of screens and then back, then again the 2 forms are somehow transparent.

Btw: A very similar bug once was fixed in AC8.x.

That's not the only issue, but the one that's most obvious.

I'm reporting more when there's a fix for that, in the meantime I need to revert to the previous AC-version.

Cheers,

Ralf

Hello Ralf

I will install LMDpack soon, could you send me a sources with this issue please? I will debug it.

It's quite difficult to produce a standalone-app that demostrates that bug.

However, there's a second issue that I haven't mentioned in my post and I could reproduce it with a demo-app.

Maybe the 2 are related to each other.

I've sent you the demo-app.

Attached is a short vid. showing what's wrong.

(A transparent window is created and left on the screen if there's a transparent panel on one of the created docked forms. Under Win7 the left-over form is black and therefore easier to see)

Hello Ralf!

When TsSkinProvider is created dynamically, try to call the LoadInit procedure also:

Code:

constructor TfrmDockClient.Create(AOwner: TComponent; PlgParams: string);
begin
inherited Create(AOwner);
TsSkinProvider.Create(self).LoadInit;

Yes, this solves it.

Thanks,

Ralf
