Hi Sergio,

There were some modifications in the ImageCanvas initialization, in order to make it run faster, but it seems that for your case it did not happen.

I'll check this out tomorrow, and will let you know if some new modifications will be needed there.

Thanks

Cesar

In my case that is just enough to produce unpleasent visual effect of ImageCanvas showing briefly with those two lines across [X] which you normally see only in design mode.

>>Please study the code below, it will help you to obtain the needed dimensions.

DO CASE
>>CASE This.Stretch = 0 && Clip

>>	This.RenderHeight = MAX(1,MIN(This.oBmp.Height, This.Height))

>>CASE This.Stretch = 1 && Isometric

>>	* Isometric Adjustment
>>	LOCAL lnHorFactor, lnVertFactor, lnResizeFactor
>>	m.lnHorFactor = This.Width / This.oBmp.Width
>>	m.lnVertFactor = This.Height / This.oBmp.Height
>>	m.lnResizeFactor = MIN(m.lnHorFactor, m.lnVertFactor)
>>	This.RenderWidth = This.oBmp.Width * m.lnResizeFactor
>>	This.RenderHeight = This.oBmp.Height * m.lnResizeFactor
>>
>>
>>CASE This.Stretch = 2 && Stretch
>>	This.RenderWidth = This.Width
>>	This.RenderHeight = This.Height
>>		
>>ENDCASE

>>Some extra notes:
>>1 - This code is intended to reside in a ImageCanvas object
>>2 - "This.oBmp" is the image you want to draw.
>>3 - "This.RenderWidth/RenderHeight" represent the size of the image needed according to the stretch mode.
