Problem with GDI+ Redering...

[Steve Maughan]

Hi,

I've just upgraded to the latest version (Nov 19th) and I'm having some problems with the GDI+ rendering. Take a look here:

Where am I going wrong?

My graphics card is an NVIDIA GeoForce GT 740M running on a HP Envy Laptop with Windows 8.1 64 bit.

I hope it's a quick fix!

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

This is a pretty serious issue. We couldn't reproduce it here though. Is your chart color set to clNone (Chart1.Color :=clNone)? Also, we are going to make some changes to TeeGDIPlus.pas and send it to you to check if it makes any difference.

Hi Steve,

Is your chart color set to clNone (Chart1.Color :=clNone)?

Or are you using Chart1.ParentColor:=True?

Also, we are going to make some changes to TeeGDIPlus.pas and send it to you to check if it makes any difference.

We have also added the line below at the GDI+ canvas. This is a global variable set to False by default. Now it will force the background being erased in GDI+. I'll send you an email with TeeGDIPlus.pas with the mentioned modification. Can you please test if it solve the problem at your end? If it persists, it would be helpful if you could debug it to find the cause.

Code: Select all

TeeEraseBack:=True;

Thanks in advance.

Hi Narcis,

The problem still persists after the patch. ParentColor was initially set to "true" and Color was "clWindow".

Here's a video which take you through the problem:

I hope it can be fixed.

Thanks,

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your feedback. I can not see the video because it's private.

[Steve Maughan]

Oops - sorry!

Try again and you should be able to see it,

Hi Steve,

Excellent, thanks. We could see your video and just sent you a fix proposal at TeeProcs. pas. Can you please check if it solves the issue for you?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Narcis,

Unfortunately after copying the new file you sent, it won't compile.

Here's the log (also attached).

Hi Steve,

It might be that the error causing .dfm got corrupted for some unknown reason. Maybe an uncomplete TeeRecompile process. Could you please send us the C:\Delphi XE4\Steema\TeeChart Pro 2013 Full Source Code\Sources\VCL\VCLTee.TeeDoubleHorizBarEditor.dfm file so that we can investigate what went wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Narcis,

I've attached it.

Best regards,

Hi Steve,

Thanks, that looks like a XML file that has nothing to do with the editor we would have expected. This might have been corrupted. You could try installing sources again and replacing relevant units with the files I sent.

[Steve Maughan]

Hi Narcvis,

That makes sense as I'm facing some hard disk and corrupt "cryptnet.dll" issues. I thought they were unrelated to this issue, and they may well be. I'm going to restore to factory setting today and over the weekend. I'll keep you posted.

Best regards,

Steve

Hi Narcis,

Everything works with the latest patch!!

Many thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

You're very welcome. We are glad to hear that.

We have the same problem. How can we get the latest patch ?
