I was wondering if there is any Tree Picker similar to the old uComponents checkbox Picker.
Something just like a mutli node tree picker that show the tree structure. (It can just be the parent of the picked item)
Thanks in advance
Not with that UI that I'm aware of. You'd have to either code something like that yourself as a custom property editor, or you could just use the built in multi-node tree picker, which offers the same functionality, it's just a different UI.

I'm starting to work with Swift 3 and I'm having difficult to find a "easy" solution to create a "ComboBox/Spinner".
I saw some alternatives like using PickerView and Collapse TableView, but It seems to be a solutions to make these components to looks like a ComboBox, It's a adaptation, but It's not a "real comboBox".
I would like to know If there's a component that works with Swift 3 that really represents a ComboBox/Spinner.
Thank you.
As Eric says in his comment, controls aren't defined in Swift, they're defined in the OS frameworks.
iOS does not have a combo box. That's a Windows thing. The standard system component for picking items from a list is a UIPickerView. I've implemented a custom control that's rather like a combox box before, and you may be able to find a 3rd party control that does what you want.
Don't know if this is the kind of combobox system you are looking for:

If so you could create a custom button which looks like a combobox. Then if not selected you have an image of a not selected combobox and when someone selects the button change it to the image of a selected combobox.
You create an array, add the amount of custom buttons to the array as you want, you give each button the same selector. Then when someone selects an item, deselect another button if there is one selected and select the button the user did press.
I hope this helps you.
I have a application that like firefox, can be enhanced from plugins available from internet.
Now, I want to provide in Delphi (2010) a dialog similar to the download from firefox. I have no skills in build graphical controls.
Using the standard controls of Delphi, what could be the best way... using a TListView/TStringGrid with custom draw or...
The idea is show a icon in the left, a title with subtitle with 1-3 lines on the middle and date/version on the right. That row must be selectable and that is all.
For the UI part,
The easiest way: Use TNextGrid in "Slide view" from bergsoft. It's one of my favorite VCL controls. Check this screenshot:
http://www.bergsoft.net/res/screenshots/next-grid/slides-style.gif
The most flexible way: Use TVirtualStreeTree with custom draw, but it'll take some time to get use to that most powerful tree view control and apply a custom draw.
The Most promising way: Use TMS software's advanced poly list (in beta stage currently), check the Screenshots in the following page and it's very nice looking!:
http://www.tmssoftware.com/site/advpolylist.asp
use VirtualStringTree from SoftGems.
Use TFrame to create a custom control for one download, and then reuse it.
Use a TDataSet descendant (eg. TClientDataSet, JVCL's TjvMemoryData or any other dataset you like) to have a table with all the fields needed to describe your download. For example:
Plugin_Name - Char(255)
Plugin_Icon - Blob
Downloaded_Size - Int64
Total_Size - Int64
//etc.
(Of course the above fields are provided just as an example - the actual fields are up to you).
After this, connect a TDataSource to your table and use an TDBCtrlGrid to show your data as you wish. For the above example, you can put on your record a TDBLabel, TDBImage, TjvDBProgressBar (unfortunately we don't have a data-aware gauge shipped with Delphi) etc. all these connected to the appropriate fields.
In this way you can simulate a list (if you set TDBCtrlGrid's Column property to 1) with a custom layout in which you can do select, add, delete etc.

I have a graphical editor with GEF. It's possible to add objects from a palette.
An Example what I mean is this:
http://java-eclipse.info/IBM.Redbooks-Eclipse.Development.using.the.Graphical.Editing.Framework.and.the.Eclipse.Modeling.Framework/7823/images/fig166_01_0.jpg
So, now I want add a different possibility to display the content from the editor, in a tree view. I have found the possibility "Outline". It's work very well except for adding objects from the palette to the tree view. My goal is, that the graphical editor and the tree viewer/editor do the same things (add/delete objects, rename objects, changing properties from objects, ...), but show in a different way.
Is there a way?
Thanks for your helping!
you could try to add a Drop listener to the treeview in the outline and to implement accordingly all the edit policies created in the tree edit parts.
Is there a ListView (ListBox) or similar component that allows me to easily drop another component in a specific column. (Multiple columns)? Like a checkbox, button or drop down list or all the above. (It would be nice to be able to sort via the header also)
If not does anyone know of a resource on how to custom draw something like this?
Thanks

Check out VirtualTreeView at www.soft-gems.net
It does virtually everything :-)
My aim is to update the look of the GUI in my app. Currently my GUI contains a lot of listboxes which are used to edit some objects in an old fashioned way, that is, user double-clicks an item and a dialog is shown to modify the corresponding object.
I think a good modern approach is how Firefox displays the extensions installed (a snapshot below).
My question is about how to build such a GUI in Delphi(win32) easily? Are there any components you use mimicing such behaviour or will I just need to code this from stratch using panels? (IMO a very cumbersome job I'd like to avoid - the selection logic, resizings, etc...)
You can do something similar (not exactly) with standard components; TDBCtrlGrid, TSpeedButton,...

If you're using Delphi 2007 or Delphi 2009, you might be able to do something similar using TCategoryButtons (from the 'Additional' component palette page). Drop it on a form and right click to display the popup menu, and then click "Categories Editor...". Add a category with the resulting dialog, set it's caption, and optionally set up Items it contains. Not exactly the same, but it might do what you need.
You could also use a dialog with a TTreeView (if you have categories of objects) or TListView to emulate the Delphi 2007 Projects->Options dialog. Clicking an item in the TreeView or ListView displays the proper page of a TPageControl to configure the object.
I mostly agree with Lars, but I would use a frame for each item instead of a panel. That would separate into its own file, and you would get easy designtime support for it.
Using a TFrame for each list item and put them all Aligned Top on a TScrollBox might work. Also see TDBCtrlGrid which does something like that in combination with datasets.
It can be done with existing Delphi controls.
For instance in the TCustomListBox control you can create your own OnDrawItem event to draw your own list item. You also need to create your own OnMeasureItem to change the item height.
In some cases it is very limited, so if you want more freedom you will need to do it from scratch.
