Hi Ignacio,

That last piece of code seems to fifish the job off.

It gets us started on a replacement GUI for our traditional applications, its going to take many months and up to a year to get something a customer can use but we have to start.

Thanks for your help

Chris

Hi Ignacio, I had not run your example project .... thats very much how I want this to look when it is finished. Thinking about whether onclick needs to work even when there is no <a></a> defined ... In looking at your example I'm fairly happy to have the underline if you think it should work that w...

ChrisGillard

Hi Ignacio, Thank you for that fix .... it is almost perfect. In the first example it works fine and gives me an OnClick event for the whole surface of the button. With example 2 .... with no html link defined with <a></a> .... the code bypasses your new OnClick fix. Something to do with it being in...

ChrisGillard

Just to summarise .... Seems what I really want is a TBtnEx inherited from TButton, but with the html text ability of TLabelEx. A bit like the TBtnBmp ..... without the Bmp but with enhanced text from the html ability of TLabelEx to style the text, would not need the <a></a> ). With some option for ...

ChrisGillard

Hi Ignacio, Thanks for your thoughts on this one. 2016-09-11_13-56-26_2.jpg I have had a go with TlabelEx and the basic HTML ability gives me the exact style I am looking for with the highlighted letter/s within the label .... example 2. If I use <a><a/> to achieve an action link then I may struggle...

I am attempting to make a 'Screen Prompt' class which responds to mouse clicks and key presses including ALT+Key combinations. It is based on a TLabel for its onclick event and I am using Form:FormKeyDown() and WMSysKeyDown() to detect the ALT key .... my prototype enhanced label is basically workin...

Hi Ignacio,

You are absolutely right :GoBottom() works perfectly.

I have on idea what I was doing when I was testing it thought it did not work!

Apologies and thank you.

Hi, I should know this but I can't find where I have done it before ... I am using a TArrayBrowse and using :Addrow() to add data rows in a loop. I want the 'cursor' to go to the last row added AND make the TArrayBrowse scroll to show the last few messages. I have tried oArrayBrowse:GoBottom() Proce...

ChrisGillard

Jose,

That solved it ....... how long has that button been there, I have never noticed it!!

Thank you.

Hi, I have just opened up a small test project from several years ago in the IDE. When I try to adjust the one and only form size or reposition or resize any of its controls ... the mouse has no effect?? I have tried to comapare the forms properties in the inspector with another project form which a...

ChrisGillard

Ignacio,

This looks very good and will be useful.

Can be considered as a 'multi line browse' or as a 'scrolling set of forms/cards'.

Looking foerward to having a go with this.

Keep up the very good work.

Chris

ChrisGillard

Jose, I have had ago, below is my code and what I see using LogDisplay() Do you expect to get the Alt and the other key as 2 actions? I'm sure I can cope if that's the way it is. Alt A and Alt B give sensible nKey for the A & B, always upper case but that's fine. Alt F2 gives me a 'q' for a char...

ChrisGillard

Jose,

Thank you for the reply and suggestion.

I probably want to detect ALT + anykey and then scan an array of Keys & Action pairs to execute the action.

I will do some testing.

Have a good weekend, thanks again.

Hi, Am exploring how to make Buttons or Prompts respond to mouse clicks and key presses including ALT+Key combinations .... maybe enhanced TButtons or maybe TLabel/TLabelEx made into buttons. I have looked at how TButton uses the & to give it an Action Key and how this adds the Key to an array :...

ChrisGillard

Hi Ignacio, TLabelEx looks very promising for what I have in mind ... thank you. My last wish is for the same text flebility in Tbutton objects .... that would make my life complete, at the moment!! I dont know what else you have planned for Xailer over the coming months and years but maybe a UI wit...

ChrisGillard

Jose, Thanks for the confirmation that fonts are shared by all controls on the form and how to get round it. Slightly different subject ..... is the any way of making a Label with a basic text colour but highlighting one or two characters in another characters ? I suspect not easy, maybe the possibi...

ChrisGillard

Hi Ignacio, Thanks for the reply. The two properties, lParentFont to FALSE and lAutoSize to FALSE, have solved my length problems I still have a problem with the line TLable3:oFont:lBold This is setting all my labels to bold Should I be making a new oFont for oLabel3 ? Hopefully nearly there. Chris

ChrisGillard

Hmmm .... images in my post seem to be the wrong way round and I don't seem to be able to edit the sequence of the images and save it. Non Bold OK image should be the first one in the post. lBold = TRUE with All TLabels in Bold? and strange width effects should be in the second position. Sorry to ma...

ChrisGillard

Happy New Year to everyone, but still doing a bit of work in 2015. A simple test program with a mainform and making 3 TLabels in code. All 3 TLabels have same width and height. Xailer 4.0 All works OK as expected without any lBold 2015-12-31_10-08-52.png When I make TLabel3, :lBold := TRUE ... - All...

ChrisGillard

I seem to have lost my rights to post in the PRO section so I am posting here .... I want to access and change the Font Colour/Color in Code on TLabel. I can change the size of the font with oFont:nSize := 14 but I can't find the Property or Method for Colour/Color. Any thoughts please. Thanks Chris...

ChrisGillard

Hi Ignacio,

Sounds interesting, seems like that would open some useful possibilities.

I would be happy to sign up for that.

Let me know if you need anything else form me at this stage.

Regards

Chris

ChrisGillard

Jose,

Thank you for that idea. I think that is what I need.

I am trying write something Like a TDbNavigator with number of buttons but also with keyboard action.

Overriding WMKeyDown() or WMChar() seems like the way to go.

Thank you very much.

Chris

ChrisGillard

Hmm trapping the onChar event of the form is not going to be ideal for this what I have in mind. I am writing a Class, inherited from TPanel, that you will call from code, and this class will contain several buttons that will have their own onClick events but I need some way of calling those same ev...

ChrisGillard

Hi Ignacio,

I will do as you suggest and trap the keyboard events from the form and fire the button events in code.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Chris

ChrisGillard

Some progress, If I set the button text to "&View" or "&Add" .... I get an underline on the letter after the & and it becomes an action key with ALT+V etc. I now remember the '&' technique from many years ago. That's a start of what I want. In an ideal world I wou...
