ah - NOW i think I understand what you are objecting to.
earlier, Corey suggested that you could "draw to fit" the
scrolling area. This would solve your problem - but would
make the shapes "scale" to the new size of the MDIChild.
If that isn't what you want - i.e. you want the shapes to
stay the same size, but want the stuff to scroll if it doesn't
fit the MDIChild, then use a TScrollBox to manage the
scrolling (instead of the Forms scrolling).
Here's a new project like the earlier one with this additional
TScrollBox twist: http://roserox.co.th/dugnz/chrissy2.zip
Some stuff to notice:
1. TScrollbox doesn't have a canvas - so I am drawing
on a TImage contained in the TScrollbox.
2. The scrollbars on the form are disabled. The
bars that automagically appear are from the TScrollbox
3. The size of the image doesn't change. It's set
once when the form is created, and doesn't resize
(and isn't aligned)
4. The scrollbox is aligned to the form client area
and autoscroll is ON
I hope this is closer to what you want than the first
attempt was.
