BGRA Controls

[Josh]

Hi

I have ben developing an Expanding Button control v0.1.18 Alpha, based on BCButton, It is in Alpha stage, so hopefully some people can test it out and report back any issues or improvement suggestion.
it allows you to supply via a csv string, the captions, hints and anwers for various buttons that will appear in a panel when you click the button/ or rollover the button. the panel can look like a callout bubble, you can specify left,riggh alignment.... lots of other parameters.

If you install the package it will appear in the BGRA Buttons package.

Picture attached is of the Example 3 project, included in the package.

I quite like the triangular shape that joins the bubble to the button.

Please test on macos and linux, if I remember well the panel transparency was working only under Windows.

Indeed, transparency doesn't work on MacOS:

Hi

It captures the image underneath the panel, then copies it to the panel canvas, maybe MacOs does not like the copyscreen routine?.

Lubuntu seems ok.

[circular]

Oh in fact, it is not transparent, but the content copied. That solves the problem of transparency indeed.

So, I come to the same conclusion, that on MacOS, the part the copies the background is not doing so.

We can publish this control with bgracontrols Josh?

[circular]

I've added (on dev) a property "TargetRasterImageList" to the TBGRASVGImageList to automatically populate a TImageList. Whenever the size or the items are modified, the target list is updated, which can be used at design time for controls using the raster image list.

New release BGRAControls v7.5
-Fix TabStop setting it to false in object inspector
-Update bctrackbarupdown.pas
-avoid hint
-populate ImageList automatically
-clearing raster imagelist, avoid rasterize on loading
-TBCMaterialProgressBarMarquee

Josh please add your controls in dev-bgracontrols branch if you wish, add the examples in the examples folder, so we can make another release with your controls.

Hello, everyone. I am using BC 7.4, seems rounding on BCPanel doesn't work as expected but BCButton works fine. Also, when I assigned a style macos-highsierra.bcpnl, the width and height always 0, I can't modify them. Sorry for my bad English.

I've tried TBCMaterialProgressBarMarquee. That works well on MacOS. An interesting way of showing progression when we don't know how much time it is going to take.

Thanks. I did my best to keep much as posible as the Android progress bar animation.
