TShiftPanel problems

[Roberto]

TShiftPanel control is a very nice control but there are some work to be done. For example, nAnchors have a strange behaviour, some properties are not updated when changed (like cText) and so on.
I use it cause it is the only way I know to put a text in a vertical way. I tried TFont:nOrientation, but does not work too. Is there any way to do that??

Hi Roberto,
download this library http://www.xailer.com/download?en&file=37.
It contains some nice label controls including a vertical label.

Please, provide us a sample to show the problems, along a detail
description of each one. So, we can fix them.
Respecting the anchors, I assume that you are using the property
nAnchors of the TShiftPanel itself. Well, TShiftPanel is designed to be
aligned to any of its container's border. That is, it should be always
aligned as alTOP, alLEFT, alRIGHT or alBOTTOM. Any other scenario,
including the use of anchors, causes an unpredictable result, which
should be avoided. If you need that the shiftpanel don't touch the
form's borders, then place a container in it (f.e. a bevel transparent
without border) and then place the shiftpanel on top of it.

tks so much, it really helped.

[Roberto]

sorry, but I don't understand.
If something does not work or have no effect I guest it should be removed from the properties/events/methods list cause I just know if it is ok or not when I try to use it. This way I can´t trust the documentation and I spend my time and ur time too.

Just modify Create() method of XLabelVert and remove the line
::oFont := TFont():Create( 'Arial', 20, 0, 400, 0)
Recompile Lib and Dll projects, and you're done.

Tks again, but now the cText disappeared!

[orangesocks]

Hi Roberto,
everything is working fine here.
I've tried with the DemoLabels project, modified the Font property of Form4 and everything is OK.
What do you mean by cText disappear ?

Giuseppe

[Roberto]

Hi,
it value: "TLabelVer" does not appear in IDE and app.

[orangesocks]

Hi,
Do you mean you can't change the text of the label in the IDE ?
Have you set the correct DLL in the components form of the IDE ?
I'm attaching the working LIB and DLL.
HTH
