Animated toggle switch

[theo]

Hi

Is there an "animated toggle switch" component for Lazarus?
Does BGRAControls have something like that?
I have not found anything.

The closest thing is the TOnOffSwitch in the Industrial package, but it is rectangular.


Thanks!

Hi
Have you looked in "Fresnel"-repo, maybe Michael's got something that can be backported...?
edit: Would be a cool and nifty addition, new style, me likey

Hi, we have in BGRAControls but not animated.

Check test\bcimagebutton toggle

You can provide any bitmap to it, even generate a bitmap on the fly and assign it.

Thank you

It looks similar, but I imagine something more "dynamic", with changing background colors, movement, text changes, etc.
It wouldn't have to rotate, as in this example, but I think Lazarus is missing a dedicated component for this modern type of switch, which can be found everywhere today.
And BGRABitmap would have to be involved to make it look nice.

Updated the TOnOffSwitch by some new properties:

- FrameStyle extended by fsNoneRounded, fsThinRounded and fsThickRounded options
- replace the built-in drawings by arbitrary images (properties PictureOn and PictureOFF)
- new property FlippedColors to flip background and thumb colors
- new property ShowFocusRect to show/hide the focus rect

Thank you.

Functionally it's good, but the curves don't look good.
Modern UI elements and pixelation don't go together.
That's why I said it won't work without BGRABitmap.
I would still prefer the rectangular version (bsThin3D) in this case. Actually, that one is quite good.

But thanks anyway!

Switchmode smClick is definitely an advantage

Oh, I always thought some proper anti-aliasing would be able to do the job or isn't it possible to draw transparent pixels on a canvas ?

Hi, it's easy to convert from TCanvas drawing to BGRABitmap, check this video:

I have very much respect for BGRABitmap and controls but for me that is similar as using opengl to draw some anti-aliased half circles. Something with flies, guns and elephants 

In case relying on bgrabitmap then wouldn't it be a better fit to rewrite in/for bgracontrols ?

We accept new controls from any user.

Something great you want to say =)

Really I don't hate any library despite it can use a lot of mb on my hard disk.

Else I will not install lazarus and FPC that uses 3 gb.

Hi all.

It's only been 19 months since the last post, sorry for the necroposting. I saw this thread yesterday.

I made this control a few years ago and forgot about it.
There is no animation yet, but it can be added.

P.S. This is a demo, please don't look at the code, it's terrible.

Cool hedgehog 

Your controls are good
