Some comments on Andreas Hausladen blog asked for help in this TDBNavigator bug QC52439 , I think everybody knows Andress and his great efforts to the Delphi community, so i decided to give Andress a hand on this ;) and here is workaround for this bug:
note: this bug exists in Delphi2007 and Delphi2009
1- open "Buttons" unit.
2- in the TSpeedButton class locate these lines in the Paint Procedure
if not PaintOnGlass then
if Transparent then
ThemeServices.DrawParentBackground(0, Canvas.Handle, nil, False)
...
and modify them like this
if not PaintOnGlass then
if Transparent then
Begin
PerformEraseBackground(Self, Canvas.Handle);
ThemeServices.DrawParentBackground(0, Canvas.Handle, nil, False);
End
...
(re)compile the unit and that will solve the problem and maybe other problems caused by this bug.

Thanks Issam. Can’t test
Thanks Issam. Can’t test this myself but I believe it works.
What I can't understand is
What I can't understand is what this code is doing:
if Transparent then
ThemeServices.DrawParentBackground(0, Canvas.Handle, nil, False)
My logic is as follow:
We are in the Paint method so the Invalidate method have just called and since Transparent = True - csOpaque is not in ControlStyle and InvalidateRect in Invalidate is called with bErase = True so the background is erased, TSpeedButton is a TGraphicComtrol and in this moment we see what is underneath.
Please, explain me what I lose?
re:What I can't understand is
"and in this moment we see what is underneath"
that's true if we are not in themed mode but in themed mode that is not enough, we have to tell theme service to Draw the background of the control's parent and that's what method DrawParentBackground do (actually by calling the API function DrawThemeParentBackground)
why?
because in themed mode we use DrawElement procedure to Draw (actually by calling API Function DrawThemeBackground)and with this function if you want transparency you must use DrawThemeParentBackground function before.

I didn't know that
I didn't know that DrawElement calls DrawThemeBackground (and it's necessary DrawThemeParentBackground to be called first in order to achieve transparent effect).
Thanks Issam.
