Hi guys,
I am not very sure on how I can describe this...

I have a thumbnail section in my main program form. In the forms, I use GetFormImage to make an image and send it to the mainform. The bug is that some components are not visible in this image. TDBGrid is one and a custom component derived from TBitBtn is another.

I use the latest stable Lazarus 1.2.2 with FPC 2.6.4 on windows7, both 32 and 64 bit

Regards,

Chris

This method
//---------
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
   bmp: TBitmap;
begin
   form2.Show;
   bmp:=form2.GetFormImage;
   try
     Image1.Canvas.StretchDraw(Image1.ClientRect, bmp);
   finally
     bmp.Free;
   end;
end;
//---------
shows a DBGrid (and everything else I dropped on form2) nicely on my
Win7 32bit setup.
Perhaps you need to share the code that drops parts of the bitmap (and
perhaps the lfm of the imaged form as well).

Since the problem is in my code I will try to figure it out and report any results. The system is a bit complex to post everything, but the basics are the same. If I fail in this I will try to duplicate the problem in smaller forms, so I can post a bug report

Thanks for testing Howard :)

In this project, speedbuttons and bitbuttons work fine, but TDBGrid does not show. If it is visible in your computer, maybe there is something that can go wrong with display drivers?
