[ANN] Eye-Candy Controls 0.9.2

[Blaazen]

I have no idea what's wrong. Maybe some Windows specific issue related to ThemeServices. Maybe.

Hi, i tried to compile ECC-demo but I get:

Range
Error reading ECSpinBtns19.BtnMax.BtnOrder: Range check error.

Using Lazarus 1.4 2.6.4 and Win7, using latest ecc version.

[sin_dragan]

Hm I tried setting BtnMax.Btnorder to 1 or any other integer but I always get a RangeCheck error, does anybody else have this problem?

EDIT: Solved, I played around with BtnMax.BtnOrder property (switched position with another button) and it compiles ok! Setting up BtnMax.btnorder to existing value (taken) results as error but when I set BtnMenu to some other value it just switch places and works okay. It seems that only setting btn order on BtnMax gives error, doing the same on other buttons is okay.

[Blaazen]

Yes, that's because I never tested EC-Controls with Range Checking  .

It will be corrected in the next release.

Ok, thx, great set of components by the way, a real example how the package should be made.

Hi,
Sorry if I've missed this, but is there a demo available that shows off these great components?
I am specifically interested in the Image Menu.

Thanks

New version of Eye Candy Controls 0.9.2.12: http://ultrashare.net/hosting/fl/4a5dee7961

Why Ultrashare. Github is easy: even I can send a patch (or not me)

[Blaazen]

I already sent mail to SourceForge support. It must be something broken there. But even if they repair it, SF is blocked in some countries, like Syria. In past, some users requested alternative download. I tried MediaFire, then DropBox but I left them both, mainly because their bloated UI. So now I'm on UltraShare. It's pretty simple and works well.

[Blaazen]

SourceForce is already working. (Their support told me that there were some maintenance).

You can now download version 0.9.2.12  from traditional seat of EC-Controls: https://sourceforge.net/projects/eccontrols/files/ecc_15-07-31_0-9-2-12/ or from http://ultrashare.net/hosting/fl/4a5dee7961 if SourceForge is blocked in your country.

Zip archive contains EC-Controls and five demos.

Finally, I wrote page on Lazarus wiki. Now there is description of all components + 23 screenshots: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Eye-Candy_Controls

Very good work. I like the look of your TECImageMenu a lot.

Very good work. I like the look of your TECImageMenu a lot.

I did not see images in the TECImageMenu.
Could TECScheme + SchemeDesigner work as a base for a UML diagram tool?
I have not checked them yet but I will during the autumn.

[Blaazen]

I did not see images in the TECImageMenu.

Yes, I was a little lazy to assign images.  But they can be there. The description (small font) is also optional.

Could TECScheme + SchemeDesigner work as a base for a UML diagram tool?

For simple diagrams, yes.
I don't know full specification of UML. I quickly looked to some UML screenshots. But I guess TECScheme is not capable to design complicated ones.
