Looking at one of my programs that uses TStringGrid, I see that I've used conditional compiling to handle differences between Delphi and LCL. Apparently the LCL TStringGrid ClientHeight and ClientWidth are the same as Height and Width, so any Delphi code that uses ClientHeight or ClientWidth won't work.

I see a scrollbar like a component finish instead a space to the user. I need to know how many pixels I have to distribute my string grid columns, and a scroll bar will make a mess of my calculations whenever the number of grid lines will be greater than the client height. > I'm not sure whether this is on purpose, but for example on gtk, the > scrollbar is outside the control usually, but on win32, it's drawn > inside the control. Nice point! So what about a standard behavior? (btw my gtk1 and win32 implementations are drawing the scrollbars inside the control) Thanks. -- Joao Morais _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
