Hi

I have a TGridPanel (2x2) that each contain a ImageEnView component.

I have a hidden ImageEnView component (SlippMap) that I use generate four separate images to populate each of these four images in the grid.

Because it's hidden, and even though the visible is still set true, an Image.update doesn't force the OnCanvas event to fire and I end up with four blank images.

I've never come across this before, and even AI doesn't know a work round, apart from using 'bring to front' to make it visible.

Surely you should be able to use an ImageEnView as a non visible drawing engine?

Bruce.

Hi Bruce

Is your purpose to get an image of a map? If so, you shouldn't use a hidden TImageEnView, just a TIEBitmap. Have you tried the helper method:
