TToggleBox with glyph?

[Eclipticon]

Hi,

is there a way to assign a glyph/icon to a TToggleBox? Alternatively, what would be the easiest to draw it myself?

It is kind of important to me to stick to the look and feel of the different Windows versions I am developing for ... I don't want these toggle boxes to look much different than buttons, for example.

Thanks!

TToggleBox does not support it but you can try my EC-Controls. There is TECSpeedBtn which allows it. It is theme-drawn (just like TSpeedBtn) and you can have different image for pushed and non-pushed state.

You only need to set Delay to -1 (0 is normal button; -1 toggle box; >0 is delay button).
Then you can select from simple built-in glyphs (GlyphDesign and GlyphDesignChecked) or assign Images (TImageList) and set ImageIndex and ImageIndexChecked.

BTW I'm working on new version where multi-line Caption will be allowed. It will be in the next release.

Hi Blazen,

thanks for your suggestions.

Besides license issues (I am planning to use these controls in proprietary, statically linked) software, I have problems compiling: It could not override .GetSpace and .GetSpaceAround, because they are not declared as virtual in Controls.

Best, Eclipticon.

Besides license issues ...

LGPL is not enough? After all, licence can be changed.

I have problems compiling: It could not override ...

It's very easy to fix. It's described in attached README.txt. It is already done in Lazarus trunk, I guess you have some older version.

I would like to add - BEAUTIFUL controls, I particularly like the ECSwitch!

I saw similar component in Gnome3 (Gnome Shell) so I implemented it for Lazarus too.
