TreeView 7.7 is out.
The TreeView is a Xojo control plugin to create tree views.
The TreeView will run with native theme rendering look and feel on all platforms.
New in 7.7:
[i] * Added BeforeNodeSelectionChange event. This event can
for example be used to toggle between white and black icon
depending on if node is selected or not.
- Added support for Xojo 2018r2 drawing. (Those using the
DrawForeground event on TreeViewCustomNode will need to re-map
the event since it now uses double parameters instead of Integers) - Gtk3 support for Linux Alpha stage as in not complete Gtk3 support.[/i]

Should the new Treview plugin fix the screen flickering when expanding or clicking on a node? We’re not seeing any much improvement.
Depends on what your application is doing.
We are really struggling with what Xojo has done. In tests if I was messing with the window forcing it composite by using Window messages then I would get flicker on the TreeView with Xojo 2018r2. Then its like Xojo draws first background even if we have it defined on the control to not paint background.
Edit:
I do get it on simpler applications also, I will file bug report, as Xojo is right now then there is not much or anything more we can do. This is all a bit absurd.
Filed report here:
52911 - Plugin Control Flicker on windows
I added more to the bug report after narrowing it down:
[b]More info, I have narrowed it down
It seems Getting Graphics DC and then releasing it even if drawing nothing causes flicker, REALGraphicsReleaseDC seems to flush something out and trigger the unwanted effect.
Sadly we live in mixed world and we need to be able to Draw some Xojo drawing then native then Xojo, etc like always in the past.[/b]
So in short, REALGraphicsReleaseDC makes it flicker.
In short, you are saying that this is XOJO issue and not the plugins. I don’t disagree because after testing 2018r2, it’s just not feasible to use it for developing Windows applications. Even 2018r1 had less flicker using the new Treeview than 2018r2.
I am seeing slight flicker via Bjorn’s included examples (was worse for me with 2018r1.1).
I updated a largish project with treeview 7.7 and found it to be flicker free BUT those treeview controls sit within a container which has it’s DoublBuffer property set to true.
Don’t know where this might help but thought I should mention it here.
Running Windows 10 and Xojo 2018r2.
PictureEffectsRaw 4.2 is out
The PictureEffectsRaw plugin enables you to do advanced image processing in Xojo using up to 8 CPU cores at once. And some of the effects can also do it in asynchronous mode.

Really sad, I miss VB6, lightning fast custom drawn controls with native api Only.
About the problem, (as a work around for xojo extreme slow performance), have you tried sendind a WM_SETREDRAW message to the control? wParam 0 the drawing and wParam 1 after?
In another topic, I was testing some of your plug ins, most of them worked great, but, the PDF one didnt worked, as if the plugin where never installed (I put the file, not a folder, read the faqs). Any idea of what i miss?

For the PDF not working for you then I am guessing you were either missing a helper plugin or having to old one ? As in the TypeLib plugin (not to be confused with TypeLibF). (And its best to take that one from separate download to ensure newest version).
If plugin installed or not then it is best to check from Xojo Help Menu under plugins to see if it is there.
Other possibility if you were on Window that you had hit the max dll issue ? (Sadly Xojo does suffer from that on Windows systems so users need to be selective of what plugins to have installed there for each project)
PictureButton 4.1.4 is out

WindowSplitter 9.2 is out
New in 9.2:
Re-wrote the WindowSplitter on Windows systems to make the Non live mode work decently. The new non live mode on Windows supports container controls and nesting.
Updated the drawing API for Xojo 2018r2 or later.
Basically I went back and have been doing application on Windows to see what can go better,
and it was very clear that Live move on Window splitter will never give good results on Windows
due to Xojo flicker handling. And the non live mode really was not working well after they changed
the drawing to Direct2D drawing, nor did the non live mode ever work well on container controls.
So the new non live mode is recommended for all cases on Windows over live mode it handles
container controls and nesting and should hopefully always give good results.
For those that do not know then the WindowSplitter plugin control for Xojo is a user interface control to create split views of Xojo, using platform native rendering whenever possible.

Hi Björn,
Any chance of including general SVG rendering only support (and being able to use them in PDFs directly) in your plugins?
Thanks

Hello Karen
It’s probably not likely at least not from what technology we possess now.
