Hi,

I'm encountering an issue with TImageEnMView when selecting thumbnails using the mouse.

Suppose I have 100 thumbnails loaded, but the visible area can only show 2 at a time. If I start dragging a selection rectangle from the first thumbnail downward, intending to select all 100 items, I notice that only the scrollbar moves — the image area itself does not update during the drag. The display stays stuck showing just the first two thumbnails until I release the mouse button.

This behavior feels a bit unexpected, as most applications update the viewport while dragging to reflect the current scroll position.

Example:
Image 1: I resized the official “Database Thumb Viewer” demo so that only two thumbnails are visible at a time.



Image 2: I begin dragging the selection rectangle over the first two items.



Image 3: I continue dragging the mouse down toward the last thumbnail (without releasing the button), but the display does not scroll to show the lower items — only the scrollbar moves. Once I release the mouse, the view updates instantly.



Is there a way to make the display update dynamically while dragging the selection?
This would offer a more intuitive user experience.



Thanks in advance!
