Eye Candy Controls

So the issue remains- is there a way to temporary block firing of OnChange and OnChanging after user I closes a tab from the close button?
When an user is not changing the tabs manually I must not execute the routines in OnChanging.

Edit: I tried to set etoCloseBtn to True, and etoClosable to False with the idea that this way I would have a close button, but Close won't happen when the button is clicked. But this way no button is shown.


Edit1: The code below does not prevent tabs from closing neither.

Code: Pascal  [Select]

1. procedure TForm1.ECTabCtrl1CloseQuery(Sender: TObject; AIndex: Integer; var CanClose: Boolean);
2. begin
3.   canclose:=false;
4. end;

While trying unsuccesfully to handle the aforementioned issue, I found another bug, seems quite serious to me:


Create a new tab control, add two tabs, set then to etoCloseable and etoCloseButtons, add      ShowMessage ('ECTabCtrl1CloseTabClicked');  in  ECTabCtrl1CloseTabClicked.
Execute the app, press a close button- a message box is shown and after it gets closed an exception is generated. A sample project is attached.

Hi, thanks for reports. I'm bussy now but I watch this thread. I'm working on new release.

Is there a way to control following :

• TECImageMenu : When clicked on a menu item, the background of that item becomes blue, can this be set to antoher tone of blue ? (default is a bit too dark compared to the rest of a theme)
• TECAccordion: When chosen "button"-style, same as above, can the colors (selected and not selected) be set to another color ?
• TECAccordion: Is there a mouse-over or "hover" color-setting available in that same "button"-style ?

Nice components btw

TECImageMenu - it uses default theme color (or at least it should on all patforms) - clHighlight, it is not configurable now.

TECAccordion - no, it is painted via Themes unit and it does not support colors, only default theme; colors can be changed only for "Gradient"

not a good news

Hi, thanks for reports. I'm bussy now but I watch this thread. I'm working on new release.

Thanks, when doing it, could you also add an „etcoDoubleClickClose‟ option to TECTabsCtrl?
Also, I am not much happy with the red background of the tab close button, could something be done with it?

Hi, thanks for reports. I'm bussy now but I watch this thread. I'm working on new release.

Hi, I wonder if any of the issues are solved in https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,40405.0.html ?
I saw nothing like that in the change log?

I somewhat forget this, so

etcoDoubleClickClose: can be implemented

red icon for closing the tab: I can add property CloseIndex where images will be taken from ImageList.

OnChange: I will probably add also an options for this, default will be current behav. to prevent breaking of existing code.

I will carefully read again this thread and test.

Note: I already replaced MouseEntered (deprecated) with MouseInClient, so the next release won't work on 1.8.2 (unless you patch it).
