I am new here and hope that I am following the right protocol and asking the question correctly. I am posting this question separately here as I do not have the appropriate privileges to post a comment against the original issue listed/linked below.
I ran into this issue (Delphi - TScrollBox issue after X number of components) and tried to implement the first solution (scrolling the scrollbox) suggested by @ngln.
I must be doing something wrong, as my implementation of the solution does not seem to work. Would really appreciate some guidance on this.
I have a custom Panel (TEntryPanel) which is derived from TPanel - and contains other elements inside of it which get set using the data from TEntry (which is just a custom class derived from TObject that contains the data). EntryList is an object that contains a list of TEntry objects.
Here's how I implemented it:
count:=EntryList.Count;
SendMessage(scroll_left.Handle, WM_SETREDRAW, 0, 0);
scroll_left.VertScrollBar.Range:=(count-1)*83;
scroll_left.DisableAlign;
try
//Display all the panels
prevtop:=0;
counter:=0;
incscrollpos:=0;
for i:=Count-1 downto 0 do
begin
//New Code--- based on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14655516/delphi-tscrollbox-issue-after-x-number-of-components
//for every entry in the list
entry:=EntryList.ListofEntries[i];
//we create a panel
pnl:=TEntryPanel.Create(self);
//set it's top location
pnl.SetBounds(0, prevtop, 350, 83);
pnl.Align:=alCustom;
//set the entry of the panel
pnl.SetEntryData(entry);
//set the events
pnl.OnClick:=pnlOnClick;
pnl.SetChildrenClickEvent;
scroll_left.InsertComponent(pnl);
pnl.parent:=scroll_left;
//increment the top location
prevtop:=prevtop+pnl.height;
//and the component index
pnl.componentindex:=Count-1-i;
counter:=counter+1;
if (counter div 350) <> incscrollpos then
begin
incscrollpos:=incscrollpos+1;
scroll_left.VertScrollBar.Position := incscrollpos*350*83;
end;
//New Code ---
finally
scroll_left.VertScrollBar.Position:=0;
scroll_left.EnableAlign;
SendMessage(scroll_left.Handle, WM_SETREDRAW, 1, 0);
RedrawWindow(scroll_left.Handle, nil, 0, RDW_ERASE or RDW_INVALIDATE or RDW_FRAME or RDW_ALLCHILDREN);
end;
After running this code, I still have the issue wherein all of the panels are not being displayed. Could someone please let me know what I am doing wrong? I am using Delphi 10.1 Berlin. Many thanks in advance.
