TUpDown Orientation
« on: June 24, 2021, 01:51:13 pm »
Hi Folks, I use the TUpDown Control in my app and use it with orientation = udHorizontal. Works fine on Linux and Windows, however, on the Mac it remains firmly vertical.

Is this a case of the underlying cocoa widgetset not supporting orientation or should I report it as a bug ?

I can of course use a couple of speedbuttons but the TUpDown seemed to work quite well.....

The LCL TUpDown maps on to the Cocoa NSStepper. This native control appears to only support the vertical up/down. Perhaps this limitation should be noted on the wiki:

Yes, that makes sense Chris, Pity but not that hard to get around.

It should be noted in issues.xml for cocoa widgetset as well, so please file a bugreport.

is that an issue or a system native behavior ?

If the orientation thing is system native behaviour, then it not being in issues.xml is the bug.
Otherwise the orientation thing is the bug.
Either way, there is a bug.
Hence it should be reprted in the bugtracker (so it won't be forgotten).

B.t.w. I thought that TUpDown was entirely painted by ourself?

yeah, but it doesn't look native on macOS
so additional system native implementation of UpDown was introduced.

OK, here is a comparison -

I'll log it as a bug, at least a documentation change noting orientation change is not available in Cocoa. For my app, very easy to replace with a couple of speedbuttons.
