How can i make sure the form is clean and repainted ?, some Timage remains on the screen even after i empty...





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;

I have a program which allows the user to click on a directory and the program will start loading all the images there and shows them on the screen and the user can view them by scrolling down

Now here is the issue, after the program loads a directory, if the user clicks on another directory, after loading the new directory some times there are remains of the previous images on the screen (Form) !, now here is the thing, if i for example try focusing another controller(component) and then i click on the form, the remains will get cleaned! so it seems the problem lies with the fact the form is not repainted or something like that!

Here is what you need to know about my program :

1-What i said happens in Fullscreen
2-I am in FMX and i use TImage

In the end i should mention that i have already tried using form1.invalidate;, which cleans the remains of something like an image resize but doesn't work on the image remains (when i say remains i mean a whole picture not residues)



Update 01:

Honestly it was fairly hard to reproduce this problem, i tried my best and i think this example kinda shows what i am talking about, i think the issue arises from the fact that i am doing my loading and cleaning in another thread, because i was not able to reproduce this problem in a single thread application

Here is the test case code:



unit Unit2;

interface

uses
System.SysUtils, System.Types, System.UITypes, System.Classes, System.Variants,
FMX.Types, FMX.Controls, FMX.Forms, FMX.Graphics, FMX.Dialogs,
FMX.Controls.Presentation, FMX.StdCtrls, System.Generics.Collections,
FMX.Objects;

type
TForm2 = class(TForm)
Timer1: TTimer;
procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
procedure Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
private
{ Private declarations }
public
{ Public declarations }
end;

var
Form2: TForm2;
mImageList: TList<TImage>;
mSwitch: boolean;

implementation
uses
Threading;

{$R *.fmx}

procedure TForm2.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
cImage: TImage;
I: Integer;
begin
mImageList := TList<TImage>.create;
mSwitch := false;

for I := 0 to 3 do
begin
cImage := TImage.Create(nil);
cImage.Parent := Form2;
mImageList.Add(cImage);
end;

Form2.FullScreen := true;
timer1.Interval := 3000;
end;

procedure TForm2.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);

begin

TThread.CreateAnonymousThread(procedure
var
I: Integer;
heightSum: single;
path: string;
begin
if not(mSwitch) then
path := 'images11 ('
else
path := 'images22 (';

heightSum := 0;

for I := 0 to mImageList.Count - 1 do
begin
mImageList[I].Bitmap := nil;
end;

for I := 0 to mImageList.Count - 1 do
begin
mImageList[I].Bitmap.LoadFromFile(path + (i + 1).ToString + ').jpg');
mImageList[I].Width := mImageList[I].Bitmap.Width;
mImageList[I].Height := mImageList[I].Bitmap.Height;
mImageList[I].Position.X := Form2.Width / 2 - mImageList[I].Width / 2;
mImageList[I].Position.Y := heightSum;
heightSum := heightSum + mImageList[I].Height;
end;

TThread.Synchronize(nil, procedure
begin
end);
end).Start;


mSwitch := not(mSwitch);
end;

end.

    I removed the delphi-xe tag since you clearly are not using that version, which predates FMX. I added the firemonkey tag. Now, could you please add a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example so that we can see code that demonstrates the problem. Without this the question will be closed.

  • @DavidHeffernan, I tried to create a minimal example, for one thing i noticed i couldn't recreate my problem in a single thread application so i tried a multithread approach like my original program, and i "kinda" got a similar result, hope this shows where i went wrong.

    Your asumption is correct. The problems you are expiriencig are caused by unproper use of multithreading. All the code that is interacting tih any viasual FMX components should be executed from withing anonymus method you pass toTThread.Synchronize.

    @aliahmadi Why do you need to pre-load the images. Couldn't you just load them right before they are being shown. That is how Windows Excplorer Works when you using preview feature in folder with images.
