Hi,
 
Yes, I'm back with another "trail" issue
 
I will begin the topic description with REMARK: ...  so that you guys from support don't get that annoyed with my issues. I don't know if this happens because of my PC or something else. If there are users who saw something simular, I would like you to reply on this, please ???. The support team must think I'm nuts (I had a simular issue with resizing the splitter of the grid) , if no one saw this ever... 
 
Note the horizontal dark lines, this happens when dragging the helpsection splitter.
 
 
 
 
Thanks

Traditional question - do you see it with our VB\PropertyGrid  sample ? :)
Seriously, how you do this?

Hi,
 
I don't see this with your sample. But I can reproduce it with my sample  I'm glad it can be reproduced at all, I know what's causing it but I want you to look at it also. I think it will be the same on your machine
 
So here it is:
 
 
It's a sample for testing issues of RC and added a PropertyGrid control to it (as in the original form I'm working on) I thought it had something to do with the RC updating but it wasn't that.
 
Thanks in advance for looking at it.

Strange, I decided to try it again and now I do see the redraw problem exhibited...I can't figure out what I did differently this time!

Okay, so the problem seems to happen during the Timer event when the Value properties of the 2 PropertyGridItems are changed. It seems that the control is not refreshing properly when "interrupted" by the Value property change.

I've thought of a workaround that seems to work in my limited testing...basically, only change the Value property if the left mouse button isn't down. Ugly, but could help until the problem is fixed.

In the General section:

Private Const VK_LBUTTON  As Long = 1

Private Declare Function GetKeyState Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal nVirtKey As Long) As Integer


Then replace wrap your Value changing code with this:

    If GetKeyState(VK_LBUTTON) And -128 = 0 Then
      ' Only change value Left Mouse Button not pressed

      wndPropertyGridFiles.FindItem("Physical memory").Value = PhysicalMemory & " Mb"
      wndPropertyGridFiles.FindItem("Free memory").Value = FreePhysicalMemory & " Mb"
    End If

Hi Jason,
 
Thanks for confirming this is a bug. I also saw it happen with the timer event but I wanted to be sure that a support member would see it. Now it's official  
 
Oleg? Can you try again? Try the resize the help section (slowly) and you will see it.
 
Thanks
