I modified the original source code TCustomPanel.Create in the ExtCtrls.pas file by adding the following line at the end of the constructor- ControlStyle := ControlStyle - [csParentBackground]; Works fine for me.

Does you mean the background-appearance unter XP-Themes? If so, this is not a bug, it's a "feature" of XP-Themes. Panels should be transparent to display the background. You have do make your derivative of TPanel an add a property TransparentXPThemes to control this behaviour. Also you have to override the creation-Function fo the windows-controls.

Set ParentBackGround to true, then build all. Set ParentBackGround to false, then build all. Now it's solid when you run it. piddie Back to top Ian Boyd Guest Posted: Mon May 24, 2004 3:56 pm    Post subject: Re: Invisible Panels in Delphi 7 Wasn't the accepted fix for this to toggle the appropriate a half-dozen times, saving in between?

All you need to do is to set the property to False and then immediatly back to True. Than save the form. This behaviour isnb't a bug, but a feature which is designed this way, as per standard the panales should be transparent under XP themed apps. If you don't want the panel transparent, you must say it explicitly by the above steps. This isn't very intuitive and is something irritating for anyone who doesn't know how this is correctly handled.
