Issue with RX Component RxViewsPanel
lazarus / 31-LCL

Lazarus 1.1, FPC 2.7.1, 64bit version

If it worked as I assumed, then RxViewsPanel would be exactly what I
want (well almost).  BUT when I add a button to the panel and then add
text, in Design Mode the Text is on the Button.  In RUN mode the Text
is below the button (see attached image file).  This happens no matter
whether I have one or 10 buttons, the system (In RUN Mode) adds space
below the button an plonks the caption there.

Now I could be doing something very wrong, missed setting a property,
but I've been struggling with this for a couple of days.

Further, I have setup an ImageList, but no matter which item in the
imagelist I refer to, I can never get an image to appear on a button
(any button).  The standard things like adding and removing buttons
using the Items property seems to work OK, but the button text and
button image seems screwed.

I've looked for Help for the component, but cannot seem to find any. 

Anyone have any ideas of whether this is buggy or I am missing
something????

OR is there any other panel/component that I can use where I can
dynamically add/delete buttons and change the properties of those
buttons (images using an imagelist, caption etc) that work, well, like
I thought RxViewsPanel works.

EDIT:  It appears you cannot see the attachment without logging in...

Thanks,

I guess the Lazarus port of RxViewsPanel is buggy.
I don't know what fancy features it has but these are the alternatives
I can think of:

SpkToolbar in CCR

CoolBar in Lazarus trunk. It is usable now although dragging the bands
at run-time is not implemented.

There may be others in other libraries.
If you don't find a suitable component, one option is to dive into
their code and fix the bugs, or improve them otherwise.

Hi Juha,

Thanks for your response.

Probably a bit beyond me, I'll see what else is available.....

Thanks,
Kevin
