[ANN] Eye-Candy Controls 0.9.2

[Blaazen]

A bug.

File ecchecklistbox.pas at line 323 replace

Code: [Select]

clWindowText  with

Code: [Select]

GetColorResolvingDefault(Font.Color, clWindowText)
I will upload bugfix release soon.

I uploaded fixed version of EC-Controls - 0.9.2.6.

You can download from SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/eccontrols/files/ecc_15-04-26/ or from DropBox https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ijnmulonpu8h9y/ECC.zip?dl=0.

From CHANGELOG.txt:

TCustomECSpinBtns: Improved aligning of Caption. It can be aligned to the left
  or to the right now. Caption is centered when Margin=-1 (default).
  Margin>=0 aligns to the left or right (it also depends on BiDiMode). (Recently someone proposed this feature here.) 

TECSlider: Min can be set >Max and Max can be set <Min while Updating (UpdateCount>0).
TECSpinEdit and TECSpinBtns: Min can be set >Max, Max can be set <Min and
  Middle can be set <Min or >Max while Updating (UpdateCount>0).

TECCheckListBox and TECColorCombo can now change Font.Color (reported by josh in this thread).

Hi Blaazen

Apologies for delay, just found the post.

I have just installed ECC, and it must be me.

As I cannot change font color to Anything but Black. TECCheckListBox

Also how can I have the check boxes on the left; and the text to be Left justified near check boxes.? Like a standard checklistbox

This is corrected in the latest release (2015-04-26).

Currently it can be done by changing BiDiMode to bdRightToLeft only.
I will introduce boolean property Reversed (ECSlider, ECRuler etc. already have). I will write it on my ToDo, it will be in the next release.

Hi

I have the latest I think eye candy, just downloaded. And I cannot change font color, if I choose the BidiMode, it is not formatted Next to check box.
2 pics.

[Blaazen]

No, the latest release is 0.9.2.8, you got 0.9.2.6.

I completely forgot that there's already property Alignment. So you do not need to change BiDiMode and there's no need to add property Reversed.

And your notice that text is not next to checkboxes: this is by design. Text is aligned to one side and all checkboxes to opposite.

Hi

It must be me, I have just downloaded again, and I stil get 0.9.2.6.
The 1st part of changlog file reads

2015-04-26 0.9.2.6
==================
TCustomECSpinBtns: Improved aligning of Caption. It can be aligned to the left
  or to the right now. Caption is centered when Margin=-1 (default).
  Margin>=0 aligns to the left or right (it also depends on BiDiMode).

Where can I get 0.9.2.8 ?

Is it not possible to allign the text next to checkboxes?

No.

Ups, sorry, my mistake. I didn't uploaded yet. I am going to do  it now.

EDIT: However, patch for changing Font.Color of TECCheckListBox was done 2015-04-13 at version 0.9.2.2.

[Blaazen]

I uploaded the latest version 0.9.2.8 to SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/eccontrols/files/ecc_15-05-12_0-9-2-8/

It has only a few improvements against the previous version.

I tested again Font.Color of TECCheckListBox in Qt and in Win32 (under Wine) and it works well.

I just tried to install in 1.2.6, Win 8.1, 64-bit and it would not compile. See screen shot attached.

[Blaazen]

See README.txt bundled with the package. This is already resolved in Lazarus 1.4 and in trunk.

[bill0287]

That did it. My bad for missing the readme file.

Hi Blaazen

I have installed the latest version 0.9.2.8,  but I am still getting the same problem, black background and white text is not displaying.
code snippet from unit ECCheckListBox;
line 320 forward

Code: [Select]

Canvas.Brush.Style:=bsClear;
  if not (odSelected in State)
    then Canvas.Font.Color:=GetColorResolvingDefault(Font.Color, clWindowText)
    else Canvas.Font.Color:=clHighlightText;           

Can anyone else confirm?

[Blaazen]

I tested, works well.

In both Linux+Qt and Wine I set:
Color:=clBlack;
Font.Color:=clWhite;

Are you able to do it with plain TListBox? (TECCheckListBox is TCustomListBox descendant.)
