[lainz]

Good job you too! We have 15 controls. 

Develping visual controls I've learned something about object oriented programming-

Hi all,
   You people are amazing, this project is growing so fast :O.
I want to tell you, that, when I add bgrabuttons to a project, i leave them as they are, and i change their appearance later in Code Right ?
However, in reality, the application displays the buttonsas I created them, then it changes their appearance, doesn't that takes some times, maybe you people could find a solution about that it's just a matter of optimizations. The thing is that I'm making an Application heavily based on BGRAControles (you can find the link in my sig below), and when the application loads, I see in few ms that the application starts in Black Color (check the attached image). After that, the application starts normally. The application has a lot of BGRAButtons and BGRAPanels everywhere.

Thanks a lot,
Cheers,

You can do that. You can set their appearence on design too.

You can change the parameters of the buttons before there are showed, in the Create procedure for example.

Does this fix your problem ?

Hi,
  onCreate procedure, of the main form or of each button ?

On the Main Form, there is no OnCreate event for buttons.

See the testbgracontrols project (included in the package).

Nice work lainz! The package is developing well.  I plan to add a new component (something like DrawGrid)

I really love your work, guys. It is looking better & better by the day. Please keep it up & who knows, maybe one day your library & its controls may be part of the default Lazarus installation.

[Sora-Kun]

Hi,
Yes that's what I was doing already,
 did you find a solution about the black components at start up ?

Thanks a lot!

Hi, again,
Also please note that the BGRALabelFX is not very dynamic, i mean let's say the following code:

Code: [Select]

procedure ...
var
  lblTitle: TBGRALabelFx;
begin
   lblTitle.Caption := Edit2.Text;
end

actually, the Caption will not change until the windows is resized or moved.
Also, can you please the onMouseMove, onMouseUp, and others basic events.
Thanks a lot.
Sincerely,
KingXerxes.

BGRALabelFX updated in BGRAControls git repository (you can download the latest snapshot here: http://bgracontrols.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=bgracontrols/bgracontrols;a=snapshot;h=HEAD;sf=tgz )

Now you can do something like:

Code: [Select]

procedure TForm1.BGRALabelFX1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if BGRALabelFX1.Caption = 'BGRALabelFX' then
    BGRALabelFX1.Caption := 'LabelFX'
  else BGRALabelFX1.Caption := 'BGRALabelFX';
end; 
About the black color, is because the components take some time to draw everything.

The solution can be don't show the window until all the things are drawn.. something like 'Loading...' but I have no idea if possible or the way to do that-

Edit: your app looks really nice-

 I'll install it and post the results

Hi agai,
I know .. i'm fast xD
Actually you are faster ! You quickly added the events that I asked for ..
Another small problem, it's when I change the text of the BGRALabelFx, and the AutoSize if already set to true, it's not updated in the BGRALabelFx, a screenshot is attached, please check it.
Thanks a lot mate,
Cheers,
KingXerXes.

It work's for me.

I can't see the problem with a screenshot, please upload a test project.

hi,
  actually, the BGRALabelFx text should be:
  E:/Python32/Lib/_phello_foo.py
Because auto sizing is not yet fixed, the text is not totally shown. I mean the BGRALabelFx size didn't change!
I attached an example, hope it helps you.
Thanks a lot.

The problem is AutoSize only work with Align = alNone. BGRAImageButton, BGRAImageToggleBox & BGRASpriteAnimation work the same. Needs improvement.

I am wondering... Is any chance to separate BGRABitmap from LCL in future? I am working now on project based on FpGUI. This is very interesting lightweight interface. With BGRABitmap power, we could create some new components for it.
