Canvas->TextOut disappears.

Well.... off the top of my head i would have printed out the square-number and the location of the textbox with the 'X' in, it seems to be a calculating problem.
If the calculating are correct it's time to test the placing of the 'X' through a for(;
loop with a delay for each 'X' placed, preferbly with coordinates printed out and so forth.
This should give a clear indication of where to search for the fault.

Keep making it perfect and it will end up broken.

Hi Totte,
I tried your suggestion, but things turned out to be the same.
I see that my problem is that some of the X characters get overwritten by my TShape. If I make the TShape smaller than the grid size, then I can see some of the X (the top and bottom corners of it.
Any suggetions on how I could stop this overwriting???

Must it be the character 'X'?
Would 2 lines drawn to form a X do the trick?
A textbos requires more space around it than the textsize gives.
Looked ut TShape in the BCB6 help file:
"If the shape is only part of the image of a custom control, use the methods of the control’s canvas instead."
Could that be the answer?
I have done a program with statistic curves and some text to indicate certain levels and i use TextBox on the Canvas to write text at a "random" position, works like a charm.
I have howevere not tried to make it transparent so when i write over existing text it wipes out the portion that's in the way.

Hi,
Good ideas to look at, thx.
Hey, I think that the problem could lie with the way that the shape moves around the box. If before I move it to its new position, I set the Visible parameter to false, then move the TShape, then set the TShape->Visible to true, then my problem disappears and the X character remains.
Very strange....
