TEdit won't align alClient inside a TToolBar
« on: July 19, 2018, 12:24:49 pm »
I have a reproducable test project for this I can make a bug report on.

But is it a bug that a TEdit won't align? I was hoping to have it align alClient inside a TToolBar to take up available space.

i might be wrong but i think that when i had alignment issues i placed the component in a TPanel.
maybe it would work for you.

TToolBar is mainly designed for TToolButtons, placing there anything else is a hack. It may work but who knows, especially if you want TEdit together with toolbuttons.
I recommend this: use TCoolBar and Bands. One band for TEdit, other band for TToolBar with toolbuttons.

EDIT: I have good experience in Qt, GTk2 and WIne. I didn't notice that this is Cocoa thread. Cocoa seems to be under develepment, my advice is more "general".

Hi Bart,

Thank you for your link. I guess I will find another way. The way I construct the toolbar/controls in Delphi were also directly on a panel outside toolbar, but that solution has its own problems in Cocoa.

But now I know that TEdit inside TToolBar is deprecated, so if nothing else - this simplifies my search for a solution
