Avoid repainting of a ribbon

VCL TMS VCL UI Pack

Hi,

in my application I use following approach to show ribbons depending on the context:
I create all TAdvToolBar on a child-form and if its get visible the Parent of the toolbar is set to the depending TAdvPage.

But if I place a lot of toolbars on different ribbon-pages it causes a lot of flickering because the ribbon is repainted after I add a toolbar.

Is there any way to avoid the repainting of the ribbon while I add the toolbars?

Thanks,
Michael

Could you please contact us by email with some sample source code with which we can reproduce this issue here.

For example, code similar to

var
  atb: TAdvToolBar;
begin
  atb := TAdvToolBar.Create(advtoolbarpager11);
  advtoolbarpager11.AddAdvToolBar(atb);
end;

to add toolbars in the ribbon is not causing any flickering here.

The problem occurs if I add multiple toolbars to one page and set the index, because I want to add them as the first position. After every insert the ribbon is repainted.
I'm looking for something like BeginUpdate / EndUpdate to add the toolbars without repainting the ribbon - and after all is done it should be painted once.

Here is some sample code:

var
  atb: TAdvToolBar;
begin
  atb := TAdvToolBar.Create(Self);
  atb.Parent := advtoolbarpager11;
  atb.ToolBarIndex := 0;
  atb := TAdvToolBar.Create(Self);
  atb.Parent := advtoolbarpager11;
  atb.ToolBarIndex := 1;
  atb := TAdvToolBar.Create(Self);
  atb.Parent := advtoolbarpager11;
  atb.ToolBarIndex := 0;
  atb := TAdvToolBar.Create(Self);
  atb.Parent := advtoolbarpager11;
  atb.ToolBarIndex := 0;

end;

We're investigating this.
