Copy canvas to Canvas?

Hi,

My paintbox flickers when I redraw. I want to paint a different canvas
on the background and copy the contens to the visible one. Is that
possible ?

Simply create an instance of TBitmap, and set it's width,height &
pixelformat properties. You can the use it's canvas like anyother, only
it's not attached to a window so it's not visible. To copy the bitmaps
data to the PaintBox check out the copyRect or stretchDraw methods (or
the bitblt etc winapi func's)

Be sure to include csOpaque in the ComponentStyle of the drawing component
to avoid clearing the background before every paint.

constructor TMyDrawing.Create(AOwner: TComponent);
begin
inherited Create(AOwner);
ComponentStyle := ComponentStyle + [csOpaque];
end;

Re:Copy canvas to Canvas?

Good Idea, it works perfectly.
Thanks,
Ebo.
P.S. I'm trying the Opaque bit for reducing the flickering in my
dbgrid (not ready yet)
