If I understand the problem correctly, then I am guessing that the paint
event is not being called until after the loop is completed. In Delphi (and
I think also in the LCL), if you have a time consuming loop, it is always
wise to put an Application.ProcessMessages call in the loop so that the
application yields a bit of time to process other application messages which
may have been generated during the loop.

Hope this helps,
