Curious, this problem is not restricted on Delphi 12 Athens, You can also see it on (at least) Delphi 11.3 Alexandria. It not necessary to install all that 3rd party libraries. Just DevExpress or ImageEN should be enough to see a relevant delay when opening standard actions. This makes me wonder why none of that vendors have already reported this to Embarcadero.

Uwe, where do I find this groups dialog? Is this a new feature you are working on? Found it! Thanks!

Thanks!

I played around with this expert and added two things: - display with gutter: - two buttons to refresh or clear results: refresh can be used, when typing something on editor itself that modifies the result positions. If you like it, feel free to add it to repository. Please note: all modifications were only tested on Delphi XE11, but they should run on earlier versions too. As I'm not familiar with GX development: I have simply assigned two icons from GX Icon folder to speedbutton glyph, which probably is not the common way for GX. So you might change this to better fit the GX universe. Attached is a patch file with my changes: InstantGrepWithGutter.patch

Minor glitch: label l_PressEsc should set Layout to tlCenter to align it with checkbox (but I'm not sure, if this property is available back to Delphi 7). A suggestion for an interim solution for the missing 'Original Position': procedure PaintFileHeader(_Rect: TRect); ... LineText := Format(SLine, [Res.Idx + 1]); // Add additional text for original position, which is always the very first entry on listbox if _Index = 0 then LineText := LineText + ' (' + Module + ')'; ... You might also use a different color for original position: procedure PaintLines(_Rect: TRect); ... if odSelected in _State then begin BGNormal := clHighLight; LbCanvas.Font.Color := clHighLightText; BGMatch := BGNormal; end else if _Index = 0 then begin // as original position is not a real result, just let it gray BGNormal := clBtnFace; LbCanvas.Font.Color := clWindowText; BGMatch := BGNormal; end else begin BGNormal := clWindow; LbCanvas.Font.Color := clWindowText; BGMatch := RGB(250, 255, 230); end; Just some ideas, but a gutter would be much better. Feel free to add what you like.

I have attached you a Subversion patch file. It's just a quick&dirty change, so have a look on it (especially for the new resource string. This might not be necessary). GX_GrepInstantGrep.pas.patch

I have change the code a little bit and this is my current result of Instant Grep dialog: If the active editor file changes, the dialog changes it's caption too. If you are interested, I can send the necessary modifications.

MMX 15.1.7, Delphi XE 11.3 When opening the drop down menu for visibility icon, icons seems to be missing (as far as I remember earlier versions had shown it) :

Next thing I noticed: I placed the window on a second monitor right beside the maximized IDE main window on first monitor. No problem. Now I closed Instant Grep and opened it again: the Window is placed on my first monitor instead of second one. And how do I clear a former hit list? Entering a blank search phrase does not clear it. Also closing and reopening does not clear it.

Doing a first short test: I was irritated as every hit is divided be the filename. As Instant Grep displays it's result only based on current editor file, why not just add the filename only to caption (see attached image)? Second: I compiled the current source, closed Delphi 11.3 and installed the new DLL. Now the first start showed that error: Following starts do not show it anymore. And why is the roaming profile? Shouldn't this be stored on LOCAL_APP_DATA? Third, if there is no hit I would not show the entry 'Original Position'. At first I wondered, if this was a wrong hit of grep search, because I see something on result list I do not expect. If you want to show the original position, make it more clearer that this is *not* a search result. kind regards, Ulrich

If I remember right: yes, it should work.

I finally found a solution for this problem: the PNG images I printed had no pHYs chunks set (as they were initially created during runtime). As soon as the missing chucks were added, printing from high DPI systems works fine. The point is: it doesn't matter what exact values you are using, it's just that those chunks had to be set to a somewhat reasonable value. function TPaImageStrokeHelper.FixPNGPixelInformation(APNGImage: TPngImage): Boolean; begin Result := False; if not Assigned(APNGImage) then exit; if not APNGImage.HasPixelInformation then begin APNGImage.PixelInformation.PPUnitX := 3780; // relates to 96 DPI: 3780 Points / Meter APNGImage.PixelInformation.PPUnitY := 3780; APNGImage.PixelInformation.UnitType := utMeter; Result := True; end; end;

Oh, didn't realized that you also added an exe. You're right: running your exe I can reproduce this behavior when styles are active.

I just tested your project against 10.2 as well as 11.3 and both do not show that behavior. Here the messages stop as soon as mouse stops, styles active or not.

After 5 hours of work there was no AV when switching between layout with and without MMX Explorer docked. So far it looks like you have fixed the problem. Thank you very much for looking on this problem!
