 |
|
Everytime I put a standard TShellTreeView component (from the
"Samples" tab) onto a form or start a program that uses this
component, the floppy disk drive is being accessed with the
characteristic sound (and delay). It happens as soon as the list of
drives is shown, without clicking anything, least of all the disk
drive icon.
Is there a way to stop this? It makes this (otherwise great) component
useless to me, because it's too annoying to use it in any program.
I'm using D6 Personal. The D7 Trial that I took a short look at showed
the same behaviour, so it doesn't seem to be a D6 Personal bug. I'm
surprised I did not find anybody else having this problem in my web
search.

Well? What would you expect? It's probably trying to put the name of the
floppy disk in its caption.

That's what I suspect, too, but there are thousands of programs which
*don't* show this behaviour with their tree views, so it seems it's
not neccessary.
Simplest example: The windows explorer.
I already took a look at the provided source code to patch it, but it
was not as easy as I expected...
