Ribbon-like control for Lazarus

[LuizAmérico]

Thanks.

Done: http://lazarus-ccr.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lazarus-ccr/components/spktoolbar

There's two minor glitches and one access violation at exit, but in general it's working

That was fast! I'll test it ASAP.

@LuizAmérico
It compiled without problems but I can't add it to the IDE because the "Register" procedure is missing. See screenshot.

[LuizAmérico]

The design time is not done yet.

To run the demo, open the package so the ide will find it

[LuizAmérico]

I added initial design time support

New problem. There is a conflict of names. The Lazarus IDE reports "Ambiguous units found" because I already have Spook's Panel Components installed.

SpkGraphTools.pas, a unit in SpkToolbar is also the name of a unit in Spook's Panel Components
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Spook's_Panel_Components

Spook is using the same unit name in these two different projects & the Lazarus IDE can't handle that.

We'll have to change the name of one of these units to get round this conflict.

Hmm, maybe rather extract the SpkGui/Graph/MathTools to separate package and add apropriate dependencies in both packages?

Best regards -- Spook.

@Spook
By the way, your panel components are great. It didn't know how to use it at first since you did not provide a demo/example but I found out by trial & error. Looks like you don't plan on updating it anymore either.

I changed name of the older unit

This is the proper solution

@Spook: what's the reason you are calling RegisterClass to some components. Is this necessary to the Delphi ide recognize them in the form? Under lazarus it seems to be necessary RegisterComponent or RegisterNoIcon calls so they can be recognized by ide

I has a question why it is slow?

When I mouse over the buttons it is slower than a normal button.

I'm getting an error

spktoolbarpackage.pas(1,1) Fatal: Can't find unit RegisterSpkToolbar used by SpkToolbarPackage

I 've fixed that

[LuizAmérico]

To show the demo app in the IDE apply the attached patch to Lazarus (svn version)

Yes, I also notice that.
The problem is with TSpkToolbar.NotifyVisualsChanged and Repaint whole ToolBar on MouseMove change.
