TDBNavigator Images
« on: June 05, 2012, 03:41:39 pm »
Is there an option to change the Arrows in this control?

I would like to replace the Green Drawings with simple text characters.

|<<  <  >  >>|

Thank you for your help.

What about this? Not perfect, but it might give you an idea how to access the hidden DBNavigator buttons. For example, you could replace the glyphs by your own bitmaps in a similar way.

Code: [Select]
type
  TMyDBNavigator = class(TDBNavigator)
  end;

procedure ChangeNavButton(ANavigator:TDBNavigator; ABtn:TDBNavButtontype; ASymbol:string);
begin
  with TMyDBNavigator(ANavigator).Buttons[ABtn] do begin
    Glyph := nil;
    Caption := ASymbol;
    Font.Style := [fsBold];
  end;
end;
{ TForm1 }

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ChangeNavButton(DBNavigator1, nbPrior, ' < ');
  ChangeNavButton(DBNavigator1, nbNext,  ' > ');
  ChangeNavButton(DBNavigator1, nbFirst, ' |« ');
  ChangeNavButton(DBNavigator1, nbLast,  ' »| ');
end;

No compilation issue for me (Win 10, Laz 3.2/fpc3.0.4, Laz 2.0.4/fpc3.0.4).

Or you can avoid the "hacker's typecast" by this modification:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. procedure ChangeNavButton(ANavigator:TDBNavigator; ABtn:TDBNavButtontype; ASymbol:string);
  2. var
  3.   i: Integer;
  4.   btn: TDBNavButton;
  5. begin
  6.   for i:=0 to ANavigator.ControlCount-1 do
  7.     if (ANavigator.Controls[i] is TDBNavButton) then begin
  8.       btn := TDBNavButton(ANavigator.Controls[i]);
  9.       if btn.Index = ABtn then begin
  10.         btn.Glyph := nil;
  11.         btn.Caption := ASymbol;
  12.         btn.Font.Style := [fsBOld];
  13.         exit;
  14.       end;
  15.     end;
  16. end;
