TToggleBox with glyph?
lazarus / 31-LCL

Hi,

is there a way to assign a glyph/icon to a TToggleBox? Alternatively,
what would be the easiest to draw it myself?

It is kind of important to me to stick to the look and feel of the
different Windows versions I am developing for ... I don't want these
toggle boxes to look much different than buttons, for example.

Thanks!

TToggleBox does not support it but you can try my EC-Controls. There
is TECSpeedBtn which allows it. It is theme-drawn (just like
TSpeedBtn) and you can have different image for pushed and non-pushed
state.

You only need to set Delay to -1 (0 is normal button; -1 toggle box;
>0 is delay button).
Then you can select from simple built-in glyphs (GlyphDesign and
GlyphDesignChecked) or assign Images (TImageList) and set ImageIndex
and ImageIndexChecked.

BTW I'm working on new version where multi-line Caption will be
allowed. It will be in the next release.

Hi Blazen,

thanks for your suggestions.

Besides license issues (I am planning to use these controls in
proprietary, statically linked) software, I have problems compiling:
It could not override .GetSpace and .GetSpaceAround, because they are
not declared as virtual in Controls.

Best, Eclipticon.

QuoteBesides license issues ...LGPL is not enough? After all, licence
can be changed.

QuoteI have problems compiling: It could not override ... It's very
easy to fix. It's described in attached README.txt. It is already done
in Lazarus trunk, I guess you have some older version.

I would like to add - BEAUTIFUL controls, I particularly like the
ECSwitch!

Gnome3 (Gnome Shell) so I implemented it for Lazarus too.
