TGradient Problem with Windows7

Hello,
I've got a strange problem with the TGradient component under Windows7.
The canvas is not completely filled when I use the fill option gsLinearH - all others works fine!
There is always a small area (depends on the size of the canvas) at the bottom of the canvas which is not filled or filled with random "noise".
Anyone else got this problem? ...maybe solved?
thx!

I couldn't regenerate the problem.
I suggest to place the gradient control on a panel and set the panel's ParentBackground property to false.

Well, it's placed on a panel and ParentBackground is false.
Same Problem with Delphi 7 and Delphi 2007.
>>take a look at the screenshot...
hmmm...

Hi Kambiz,
I found the problem and was able to fix it or better - create a workaround for it.
Here is the code snippet:
- Code: Select all
procedure LinearHorizontal(const Colors: TGradientColors; Pattern: TBitmap);
var
X,Y: Integer;
Row: PRGBQuadArray;
begin
Pattern.Width := 256;
Pattern.Height := 10;
for Y :=0 to 9 do
begin
Row := PRGBQuadArray(Pattern.ScanLine[Y]);
for X := 0 to 255 do
begin
Row[X] := Colors[X];
end;
end;
end;
thx for your support!

According to the fix, I think the display driver of your computer needs to be updated.

It really seems to be a problem with the display driver!
I cannot reproduce it on other Win7 machines...
thx

PS: The problem is reproducible on all new HP Notebooks with preinstalled Win7.
Seems to be a problem with the default driver.

Have noticed similar problems with eg. bitmap images and some other things too, eg. TPanels and TLabels... I think these problems have very close relation to XPManifest component (if used).
As Kambiz pointed out, such as TPanels Parent Background must be set to false at RUNTIME, and TLabels Transparency even at RUNTIME... Desingtime settings seems to be ignored!?
With Bitmap problems I have found solutions with PixelFormat setting, eg. Image.Picture.Bitmap.PixelFormat := pf8bit;
