Delphi XE4 Tpanel doesnt change color [duplicate] - delphi

got a strange problem: I create a TPanele at runtime and change its color - however, the color is still clBtnFace.
Here' the code:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
pnlTest : TPanel;
begin
pnlTest := TPanel.Create(Form1);
pnlTest.Parent := Form1;
pnlTest.Width := 100;
pnlTest.Height := 100;
pnlTest.Color := clRed;
end;
Any ideas? Thanks!

When you want to have colored panels under a themed OS you have to set ParentBackground to False.

Try this :-)
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
pnlTest : TPanel;
begin
pnlTest := TPanel.Create(Form1);
pnlTest.Parent := Form1;
pnlTest.Width := 100;
pnlTest.Height := 100;
pnlTest.ParentBackground := false;
pnlTest.Color := clRed;
end;

This the code for maXbox scripting:
procedure SetArrayLength2Panels(var arr: array of array of TPanel;
asize1, asize2: Integer);
var i: Integer;
begin setlength(arr, asize1);
for i:= 0 to asize1-1 do SetLength(arr[i], asize2);
end;
procedure TMyFormInitialisePanels(aform: Tform; RowCount,ColCount: Integer);
var
aLeft,aTop,aWidth,aHeight, row,col: Integer;
Panel: TPanel;
FPanels: array of array of TPanel;
begin
//SetLength(FPanels, RowCount, ColCount);
SetArrayLength2Panels(Fpanels, RowCount, ColCount)
aTop:= 0;
for Row:= 0 to RowCount-1 do begin
aLeft:= 0;
aHeight:= (aform.ClientHeight-aTop) div (RowCount-Row);
for Col:= 0 to ColCount-1 do begin
Panel:= TPanel.Create(Self);
FPanels[Row][Col]:= Panel;
Panel.Parent:= aform; //Self;
//panel.parentcolor:= false;
panel.ParentBackground:= false;
panel.color:= random(clred)
aWidth:= (aform.ClientWidth-aLeft) div (ColCount-Col);
Panel.SetBounds(aLeft, aTop, aWidth, aHeight);
inc2(aLeft, aWidth);
end;
inc2(aTop, aHeight);
end;
end;

Delphi Firemonkey, show rectangle on landscape mode Android

how to display a rectangle containing TEdit in landscape position, when TEdit set focus on portrait mode? I use code like this, but in landscape position, Tedit is covered by the keyboard when Tedit sets focus on portrait.

How to create popup menu with scroll bar that also supports sub-menus

I want to add scroll bars (and/or scroll wheel support) to my existing Delphi application's popup menus, because they are often higher than the screen, and the built in scrolling is not good enough. How to make a popup menu with scrollbar? would be a great solution for me, except that it doesn't support sub-menus, which I absolutely require. The author of that solution hasn't been on StackOverflow since last July, so I don't think he'll reply to my comment. Can anyone see how to modify that code to add support for sub-menus? In case it matters, I need it to work with Delphi 2007.
I share #KenWhite's reservations about how users might receive a huge menu. So apologies to him and readers whose sensibilities the following might offend ;=)
Anyway, I hope the code below shows that in principle, it is straightforward
to create a TreeView based on a TPopUpMenu (see the routine PopUpMenuToTree) which reflects the structure of the PopUpMenu, including sub-items,
and make use of the TreeView's automatic vertical scroll bar. In the code, the
PopUpMenu happens to be on the same form as the TreeView, but that's only for
compactness, of course - the PopUpMenu could be on anothe form entirely.
As mentioned in a comment, personally I would base something like this on a
TVirtualTreeView (http://www.soft-gems.net/index.php/controls/virtual-treeview)
because it is far more customisable than a standard TTreeView.
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
PopupMenu1: TPopupMenu;
TreeView1: TTreeView; // alClient-aligned
Start1: TMenuItem;
procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
procedure TreeView1Click(Sender: TObject);
private
protected
procedure MenuItemClick(Sender : TObject);
procedure PopUpMenuToTree(PopUpMenu : TPopUpMenu; TreeView : TTreeView);
public
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
[...]
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
Item,
SubItem : TMenuItem;
i,
j : Integer;
begin
// (Over)populate a PopUpMenu
for i := 1 to 50 do begin
Item := TMenuItem.Create(PopUpMenu1);
Item.Caption := 'Item ' + IntToStr(i);
Item.OnClick := MenuItemClick;
PopUpMenu1.Items.Add(Item);
for j := 1 to 5 do begin
SubItem := TMenuItem.Create(PopUpMenu1);
SubItem.Caption := Format('Item %d Subitem %d ', [i, j]);
SubItem.OnClick := MenuItemClick;
Item.Add(SubItem);
end;
end;
// Populate a TreeView from the PopUpMenu
PopUpMenuToTree(PopUpMenu1, TreeView1);
end;
procedure TForm1.MenuItemClick(Sender: TObject);
var
Item : TMenuItem;
begin
if Sender is TMenuItem then
Caption := TMenuItem(Sender).Caption + ' clicked';
end;
procedure TForm1.PopUpMenuToTree(PopUpMenu: TPopUpMenu;
TreeView: TTreeView);
// Populates the TreeView with the Items in the PopUpMenu
var
i : Integer;
Item : TMenuItem;
RootNode : TTreeNode;
procedure AddItem(Item : TMenuItem; ParentNode : TTreeNode);
var
Node : TTreeNode;
j : Integer;
begin
Node := TreeView.Items.AddChildObject(ParentNode, Item.Caption, Item);
for j := 0 to Item.Count - 1 do begin
AddItem(Item.Items[j], Node);
end;
end;
begin
TreeView.Items.BeginUpdate;
TreeView.Items.Clear;
try
for i := 0 to PopUpMenu.Items.Count - 1 do begin
AddItem(PopUpMenu.Items[i], Nil);
end;
finally
TreeView.Items.EndUpdate;
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.TreeView1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
Node : TTreeNode;
Item : TMenuItem;
begin
if Sender is TTreeView then begin
Node := TTreeView(Sender).Selected;
Item := TMenuItem(Node.Data);
Item.Click;
end;
end;

Delete TLabel created in run-time

How to delete created labels. I tried FindComponent but failed , what I have to do? should I set there parent to other component like TPanel or what?
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
lblLink: TLabel;
begin
for i := 0 to stringtList.Count-1 do
begin
lblLink := TLabel.create(self);
with lblLink do
begin
name:='lblLink'+inttostr(i);
caption:inttostr(i);
Parent := self;
font.style := [fsUnderline];
cursor := crHandPoint;
color := clBlue;
font.Color := clBlue;
end;
end;
end;
You can iterate over the Components property, then check for the name of the component and finally free the component.
Var
LIndex : Integer;
LComponent : TComponent;
begin
for LIndex := ComponentCount-1 downto 0 do
if StartsText('lblLink',Components[LIndex].Name) then
begin
LComponent:=Components[LIndex];
FreeAndNil(LComponent);
end;
end;
You don't have to free it. You gave the responsibility to free it to the form with lblLink := TLabel.create(self);. The form will free the label when the form is freed.
However, with that being said, you can free it by looping through the form's Components array:
procedure TForm1.DeleteLabel(const LabelName: string);
var
i: Integer;
begin
for i := ComponentCount - 1 downto 0 do
begin
if Components[i] is TLabel then
if Components[i].Name = LabelName then
begin
Components[i].Free;
Break;
end;
end;
end;
You assigned both an Owner and a Parent to each TLabel, so techncally you do not need to free them at all. Both the Owner and the Parent will handle that for you. However, if you wanted to free them earlier, you could loop through the Owner's Components list or the Parent's Controls list, hunting for the labels manually. A better option is to keep your own list of the labels you create, then you can loop through that list when needed, eg:
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
procedure FormDestroy(Sender: TObject);
...
private
Labels: TList;
procedure FreeLabels;
...
end;
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Labels := TList.Create;
end;
procedure TForm1.FormDestroy(Sender: TObject);
begin
Labels.Free;
end;
procedure TForm1.FreeLabels;
var
I: Integer;
begin
for I := 0 to Labels.Count-1 do
TLabel(Labels[I]).Free;
Labels.Clear;
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
lblLink : TLabel;
...
begin
...
for I := 0 to StringList.Count-1 do
begin
lblLink := TLabel.Create(Self);
try
with lblLink do
begin
Name := 'lblLink' + IntToStr(i);
Parent := Self;
Caption := IntToStr(i);
Font.Style := [fsUnderline];
Cursor := crHandPoint;
Color := clBlue;
Font.Color := clBlue;
end;
Labels.Add(lblLink);
except
lblLink.Free;
raise;
end;
end;

close button of a tabsheet not supporting vcl styles

I have used the code provided in this example How to implement a close button for a TTabsheet of a TPageControl to draw a close button to each tabsheet of a pagecontrol and I have replaced ThemeServices with Style Services inside the code and when applying styles the close button doesn`t show and react in no way. Could anyone point me to a different path o solving this issue. thank you! this is the code of the OnDrawTab event:
procedure TFormMain.PageControlCloseButtonDrawTab(Control: TCustomTabControl;
TabIndex: Integer; const Rect: TRect; Active: Boolean);
var
CloseBtnSize: Integer;
PageControl: TPageControl;
TabCaption: TPoint;
CloseBtnRect: TRect;
CloseBtnDrawState: Cardinal;
CloseBtnDrawDetails: TThemedElementDetails;
begin
PageControl := Control as TPageControl;
if InRange(TabIndex, 0, Length(FCloseButtonsRect) - 1) then
begin
CloseBtnSize := 14;
TabCaption.Y := Rect.Top + 3;
if Active then
begin
CloseBtnRect.Top := Rect.Top + 4;
CloseBtnRect.Right := Rect.Right - 5;
TabCaption.X := Rect.Left + 6;
end
else
begin
CloseBtnRect.Top := Rect.Top + 3;
CloseBtnRect.Right := Rect.Right - 5;
TabCaption.X := Rect.Left + 3;
end;
CloseBtnRect.Bottom := CloseBtnRect.Top + CloseBtnSize;
CloseBtnRect.Left := CloseBtnRect.Right - CloseBtnSize;
FCloseButtonsRect[TabIndex] := CloseBtnRect;
PageControl.Canvas.FillRect(Rect);
PageControl.Canvas.TextOut(TabCaption.X, TabCaption.Y, PageControl.Pages[TabIndex].Caption);
if not UseThemes then
begin
if (FCloseButtonMouseDownIndex = TabIndex) and FCloseButtonShowPushed then
CloseBtnDrawState := DFCS_CAPTIONCLOSE + DFCS_PUSHED
else
CloseBtnDrawState := DFCS_CAPTIONCLOSE;
Winapi.Windows.DrawFrameControl(PageControl.Canvas.Handle,
FCloseButtonsRect[TabIndex], DFC_CAPTION, CloseBtnDrawState);
end
else
begin
Dec(FCloseButtonsRect[TabIndex].Left);
if (FCloseButtonMouseDownIndex = TabIndex) and FCloseButtonShowPushed then
CloseBtnDrawDetails := StyleServices.GetElementDetails(twCloseButtonPushed)
else
CloseBtnDrawDetails := StyleServices.GetElementDetails(twCloseButtonNormal);
StyleServices.DrawElement(PageControl.Canvas.Handle, CloseBtnDrawDetails,
FCloseButtonsRect[TabIndex]);
end;
end;
end;
If you are using the vcl styles, you must write a vcl style hook to draw a close button in the tab controls, take a look to the Vcl.Styles.ColorTabs unit (introduced in these articles Creating colorful tabsheets with the VCL Styles, Added border to TTabColorControlStyleHook) to have an idea of what you need to write a style hook like this. Additional to the code to draw the button in the tabs you must handle the WM_MOUSEMOVE and WM_LBUTTONUP messages (in the style hook) to change the state of the button (normal, hot) and detect a click in the close button.
If you have problems implementing the style hook let me know to post a full solution here.
UPDATE
I just wrote this simple style hook to add suport for a close button in the tabsheets.

Register in this way
TStyleManager.Engine.RegisterStyleHook(TCustomTabControl, TTabControlStyleHookBtnClose);
TStyleManager.Engine.RegisterStyleHook(TTabControl, TTabControlStyleHookBtnClose);
And this is a demo
Ive been working on this example, and i got it working on the Metro UI on delphi XE6.
My workaround for getting the correct distance between the Tab name and the button was to modify this line
Result.Left := Result.Right - (ButtonR.Width);
//it was Result.Left := Result.Right - (ButtonR.Width) -5;
And setting a bigger TabWith on the PageController properties.
Also ,remind that the "Register" lines, goes on the Initialization class right before the end of the unit.
//...all the code of the unit

TStyleManager.Engine.RegisterStyleHook(TCustomTabControl,

From TCheckListBox to TcxCheckListBox with an exception?

I use this code with TCheckListbox (lbServices) and it works fine. But with TcxCheckListBox from Devexpress it raise exception.
procedure TMaintenanceForm.AfterConstruction;
var
i: Integer;
ActionObj: TAction;
begin
inherited;
for i := 0 to ServiceActionList.ActionCount-1 do
begin

end;
end;
procedure TMaintenanceForm.btnStopClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
fContinue := False;
end;
procedure TMaintenanceForm.cmdExecuteSelectedClick(Sender: TObject);
var
i: Integer;
begin
Screen.Cursor := crHourGlass;
try
for i := 0 to lbServices.Count -1 do
if lbServices.Selected[i] then
(lbServices.Items.Objects[i] as TAction).Execute; // Exception here!!!!
finally
Screen.Cursor := crDefault;
end;
end;
If I debug the code lbServices.Count = 12.
lbServices.Items.Objects[i] is nil for all items in the list. What is wrong here ?
Use the following code instead:
var
AItem: TcxCheckListBoxItem;
begin
AItem := cxCheckListBox1.Items.Add;
AItem.ItemObject := Action1;
AItem.Text := Action1.Caption;
end;
...
var
I: Integer;
begin
for I := 0 to cxCheckListBox1.Items.Count - 1 do
if cxCheckListBox1.Items[I].Checked then
(cxCheckListBox1.Items[I].ItemObject as TACtion).Execute;
end;
There is no Objects property of TcxCheckListBox.Items
