Title: TControl self Parent / HTML behavior
Post by: ps on August 19, 2019, 05:23:59 pm
I'm thinking about better way to create UI with LCL. In HTML/CSS it's very easy to place "control" inside of another "control". For example: <button class="button">Nice button <div class="icon">with icon</div></button>.

In LCL we must create custom control with individual behavior (with two icons, with left, right icons ...) instead of place TImage inside of TButton. I think this is possible with QT, Firemonkey and Cocoa? It's possible do this with LCL?

I doubt that.

you can place controls inside others with the LCL too.

looks like you want a HTML rendering output. Don't think you'll like the results since you need a lot of overhead to support it.

 Using a browser object would but then may fail when the OS updates.

Did you try TBitBtn or TSpeedButton? They are prepared for an attached image (property "Glyph").
