onMouseMove override keeps onMouseUp from working - delphi

I have a TreeViewItem which its onMouseUp is not fired, I tried shrinking my complicated class and I was able to produce a working example of a onMouseUp not working, it seems the onMouseMove override is causing this behavior which is a mystery because I am using onMouseUp and I'm not overriding the onMouseMove!
How can I fix this code?

treeViewItem := TTreeViewItem.Create(nil);
treeViewItem.Parent := treeView;
treeViewItem.Text := 'This is a test';
treeViewItem.OnMouseUp := onItemMouseUp;
end;
procedure TForm2.onItemMouseUp(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X: Single; Y: Single);
begin
ShowMessage('onItemMouseUp');
end;
procedure TForm2.MouseMove(Shift: TShiftState; X: Single; Y: Single);
begin
end;
end.

MouseMove(...) override; overrides every other onMouseMove, this is usually used if you need to ensure execution on MouseMove no matter what kind of object you are focusing, since you are overriding MoveMove you have to use the keyword Inherited inside the body which will ensure all the other onMouseMoves that are inherited work as well.
So you simply need to change your MouseMove to this:
procedure TForm2.MouseMove(Shift: TShiftState; X: Single; Y: Single);
begin
Inherited;
end;

Get the caret position (line and char) in an FMX TMemo

I try to show the position of a memo's caret in a statusbar which contains two labels.
I tried this:
lblX.Text := Memo.Caret.Pos.X.ToString();
lblY.Text := Memo.Caret.Pos.Y.ToString();
The two values seems to represent the real position from left and top of the memo.
Is it possible to get it as row (lines) and cols (chars)?
I want to clarify that I work with firemonkey in order to be able to compile my project towards windows and linux.
Thank you already for your answers.
Selticq.
I have never used FMX before, but using Code Insight I immediately found that Memo.CaretPosition.Line and Memo.CaretPosition.Pos represent the current line and column, respectively.
This is confirmed by the documentation:
Line represents the number of the line containing the cursor, indexed from zero.
Pos represents the horizontal character coordinate of the cursor, indexed from zero.
[...]
Thus, if Line = 3 and Pos = 5, then the cursor is at the fourth line and at the sixth character from the start of the line.
If you want to display the memo caret position, you can use code like this:
procedure TForm1.UpdateCaretPosDisplay;
begin
lblX.Text := (Memo1.CaretPosition.Pos + 1).ToString;
lblY.Text := (Memo1.CaretPosition.Line + 1).ToString;
end;
And if you want a complete sample code with that method called at the correct event handlers, here it is:

How to draw freehand on TPaintBox (or any other control)?

I am trying to make a signature pad with Delphi 10.3 FMX. My understanding is that I should handle the OnMouseMove event, first setting coordinate in the OnMouseDown event, and then use the DrawLine() method.
So far I managed this:

How can I let a user move or drag a button on a form?

I have a form where I have created a button programmatically like this :
unit Unit1;
interface
uses
Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants,
System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics, Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs,
Vcl.StdCtrls;
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
Button1: TButton;
procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
private
FTableButton : TButton;
public
{ Public declarations }
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.dfm}
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
if not Assigned(FTableButton) then begin
FTableButton := TButton.Create(self);
FTableButton.Parent := self;
end;
end;
end.
How can I let the user move FTableButton on the form by dragging it?
By implementing the OnMouseDown, OnMouseMove and OnMouseUp events of a control you can allow the user to move it like this :
unit Unit1;
interface
uses
Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants, System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics,
Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs, Vcl.StdCtrls;
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
Button1: TButton;
procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
private
FTableButton : TButton;
FTableButtonDragging : boolean;
FMouseDownLocation : TPoint;
FButtonStartingLocation : TPoint;
procedure TableButtonMouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
procedure TableButtonMouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X,
Y: Integer);
procedure TableButtonMouseUp(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
public
{ Public declarations }
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.dfm}
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
if not Assigned(FTableButton) then begin
FTableButton := TButton.Create(self);
FTableButton.Parent := self;
FTableButton.Caption := 'I am New';
FTableButton.OnMouseDown := TableButtonMouseDown;
FTableButton.OnMouseMove := TableButtonMouseMove;
FTableButton.OnMouseUp := TableButtonMouseUp;
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.TableButtonMouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
FTableButtonDragging := true;
FMouseDownLocation := Mouse.CursorPos;
FButtonStartingLocation := TPoint.Create(FTableButton.Left, FTableButton.Top);
end;
procedure TForm1.TableButtonMouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X,
Y: Integer);
begin
if FTableButtonDragging then begin
FTableButton.Left := FButtonStartingLocation.X + (Mouse.CursorPos.X - FMouseDownLocation.X);
FTableButton.Top := FButtonStartingLocation.Y + (Mouse.CursorPos.Y - FMouseDownLocation.Y);
FTableButton.Invalidate;
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.TableButtonMouseUp(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
FTableButtonDragging := false;
end;
end.
Here we've added three new procedures to the form :
procedure TableButtonMouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
procedure TableButtonMouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState;
X, Y: Integer);
procedure TableButtonMouseUp(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
and we have assigned these procedures as handlers for the new FTableButton's events :
FTableButton.OnMouseDown := TableButtonMouseDown;
FTableButton.OnMouseMove := TableButtonMouseMove;
FTableButton.OnMouseUp := TableButtonMouseUp;
When clicking on the button you need to store both the control's location and the mouse position when you placed the click, as well as that the mouse is currently down. Three new fields are used for this :
FTableButtonDragging : boolean;
FMouseDownLocation : TPoint;
FButtonStartingLocation : TPoint;
When moving the mouse, then, you can update the position of the control based on its original position and the difference between the current mouse position and the mouse position when the click was made.

Can Firemonkey TTabControl replicate VCL TPageControl.OnChanging event?

I'm Running Delphi Dx Seattle
In Delphi VCL's TPageControl there is a onChanging event where you could stop the page control from changing tab's
procedure TForm1.pgc1Changing(Sender: TObject; var AllowChange: Boolean);
begin
if MessageDlg('do you want to change tab?', mtConfirmation, [mbyes, mbno], 0, mbNo) = mrno then
AllowChange := false;
end;
Is there a way for Delphi Firemonkey TTabControl to replicate this?
e.g.if you have two tabs and clicking on the other tab pops up a question 'do you want to change tab?'
if you click No nothing happens click yes then it changes
This is the code i ended up using - it works with windows and android haven't tested with IOS
Ended up having to override some of the components procedures
TTabItem = class(FMX.TabControl.TTabItem)
procedure MouseDown(Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Single); override;
end;
TTabControl = class(FMX.TabControl.TTabControl)
function GetTabIndex : integer;

You could use a TPaintBox instead of TImage (It's Canvas is not meant for such usage as #Ken already commented) and draw your rectangle on the TPaintBox.OnPaint event. don't draw on Mouse events, but rather use TPaintBox.Invalidate. Here is an example:
procedure TForm1.PaintBox1MouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
poczatekX := X;
poczatekY := Y;
rysuj := True;
end;
procedure TForm1.PaintBox1MouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
if rysuj then
begin
xGlobalne := X;
yGlobalne := Y;
PaintBox1.Invalidate;
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.PaintBox1MouseUp(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
rysuj := False;
PaintBox1.Invalidate;
end;
procedure TForm1.PaintBox1Paint(Sender: TObject);
begin
if rysuj then
begin
PaintBox1.Canvas.Brush.Color := kolorIzy;
PaintBox1.Canvas.Rectangle(poczatekX, poczatekY, xGlobalne, yGlobalne);
end;
end;
I guess the same could be applied using only the TForm itself without any graphic controls, by drawing to the Form's canvas directly (same events as with the TPaintBox).
Try my NLDXPSelection component which is a non-visual component that provides drawing blue alpha blended selections on any control, form or screen. It has properties OnResize and OnFinish that tell the selection coördinates.
