I use the OnCustomDrawItem event to draw a TTreeView like this :
Here is my code :
procedure Tform1.trvArbreCustomDrawItem(Sender: TCustomTreeView; Node: TTreeNode; State: TCustomDrawState; var DefaultDraw: Boolean);
var
vRect : TRect;
vBmp : TBitmap;
vBmpRect : TRect;
vTreeView : TTreeView;
vBarreInfo : TScrollInfo;
vDeltaX : Integer;
begin
DefaultDraw := False;
vTreeView := TTreeView(Sender);
vRect := Node.DisplayRect(False);
vBmp := TBitmap.Create();
FillChar(vBarreInfo, SizeOF(vBarreInfo), 0);
vBarreInfo.cbSize := SizeOf(vBarreInfo);
vBarreInfo.fMask := SIF_RANGE or SIF_POS;
if GetScrollInfo(trvArbre.Handle, SB_HORZ, vBarreInfo) then
begin
if vBarreInfo.nMax > vRect.Right - vRect.Left then
begin
vBmp.Width := vBarreInfo.nMax + 1;
vBmp.Height := vRect.Bottom - vRect.Top;
vDeltaX := vBarreInfo.nPos;
end
else
begin
vBmp.Width := vRect.Right - vRect.Left;
vBmp.Height := vRect.Bottom - vRect.Top;
vDeltaX := 0;
end;
end
else
begin
vBmp.Width := vRect.Right - vRect.Left;
vBmp.Height := vRect.Bottom - vRect.Top;
vDeltaX := 0;
end;
vBmpRect := Rect(0, 0, vBmp.Width, vBmp.Height);
if cdsSelected in State then
begin
vBmp.Canvas.Brush.Color := cMenuDownFond;
vBmp.Canvas.Pen .Color := cMenuDownBordure;
end
else if cdsHot in State then
begin
vBmp.Canvas.Brush.Color := cMenuSurvolFond;
vBmp.Canvas.Pen .Color := cMenuSurvolBordure;
end
else
begin
vBmp.Canvas.Brush.Color := clWhite;
vBmp.Canvas.Pen .Color := clwhite;
end;
vBmp.Canvas.Rectangle(vBmpRect);
vBmpRect.Left := vBmpRect.Left + 3;
vBmpRect.Left := vBmpRect.Left + (Node.Level * vTreeView.Indent);
if Node.StateIndex >= 0 then
begin
vTreeView.StateImages.Draw(vBmp.Canvas, vBmpRect.Left, vBmpRect.Top, Node.StateIndex);
end;
vBmpRect.Left := vBmpRect.Left + 18;
vTreeView.Images.Draw(vBmp.Canvas, vBmpRect.Left, vBmpRect.Top, Node.ImageIndex);
vBmpRect.Left := vBmpRect.Left + 18 + 3;
vBmp.Canvas.Font := vTreeView.Font;
DrawText
(
vBmp.Canvas.Handle,
PChar(Node.Text),
Length(Node.Text),
vBmpRect,

);
BitBlt
(
Sender.Canvas.Handle,
vRect.Left,
vRect.Top,
vRect.Right - vRect.Left,
vRect.Bottom - vRect.Top,
vBmp.Canvas.Handle,

0,
SRCCOPY
);
FreeAndNil(vBmp);
end;
My problem is that the node "My last node wich is not too long" is not too long to justify the presence of the horizontal scrollbar.
When I set DefaultDraw to true I obtain :
It seems that the width of the node is computed with a font I don't use.
I tried to change the font of the canvas, to use Windows API, to use the OnAdvancedCustomDrawItem with no result.
Thanks.
I use Delphi 7. I copied ComCtrls.pas in the folder of my application. I changed procedure TCustomTreeView.CNNotify(var Message: TWMNotify);. Line 8979 from Result := Result or CDRF_SKIPDEFAULT to Result := Result or CDRF_SKIPDEFAULT; and I commented line 8980 else if FCanvasChanged then in order to simulate DefaultDraw=True and FCanvasChanged even if I set DefaultDraw to False in event et don't change font. After a lot of tests, I don't see any caveats.

For testing purposes, in my Delphi 10.3 application, I'd like to decorate images in a TImageCollection with the dimensions of each image. For bitmaps, it's no problem but for PNG files, I can't paint to that canvas, neither can I assign from a BMP to a PNG in TWICImage because of a runtime exception "cannot assign a TPngImage to a TWICImage".
procedure DecorateImageCollection(imcMainMisc: TImageCollection);
var
i, j: Integer;
bmp:Graphics.TBitmap;
item:TImageCollectionItem;
img:TImageCollectionSourceItem;
begin
for i := 0 to imcMainMisc.Count - 1 do
begin
item:=imcMainMisc.Images.Items[i];
for j := 0 to item.SourceImages.Count - 1 do
begin
img:=item.SourceImages.Items[j];
case img.Image.ImageFormat of
wifBmp:

wifPng:
begin
bmp:=Graphics.TBitmap.Create;

bmp.Assign(img.Image);

bmp.Canvas.Font.Color:=clRed;
bmp.Canvas.Brush.Style:=bsClear;
bmp.Canvas.Pen.Style:=psSolid;
bmp.Canvas.TextOut(0, 0, IntToStr(bmp.Height));
// *cannot assign a TPngImage to a TWICImage*
img.Image.Assign(bmp);
finally
bmp.Free;

I expect such an operation should be simple but I haven't yet found out how.

Under Win32
Under Win32 it should not be a problem. Just first try calling MapiSendMail with very simple MapiMessage and if it will work, add complexity little by little. Your code is just too complex to debug it visually. Did you call MapiSendMail with very simple MapiMessage, just for testing? Please try the following code, it works for sure:
procedure TestSendExA(const APath1, ACaption1, APath2, ACaption2: AnsiString);
var
R: Integer;
MSG: TMapiMessage;
F: Array [0..1] of TMapiFileDesc;
Recipients: array[0..1] of TMapiRecipDesc;
Originator : array[0..0] of TMapiRecipDesc;
begin
if not FileExists(APath1) or not FileExists(APath2) then raise Exception.Create('File not found');
FillChar(Msg, SizeOf(Msg), 0);
Msg.lpszSubject := 'testo';
Msg.lpszNoteText := 'Hi there!';
Msg.lpszDateReceived := '2015/01/25 12:34';
Msg.lpszConversationId := '1234.test#ritlabs.com';
Msg.flFlags := MAPI_RECEIPT_REQUESTED;
FillChar(Recipients, SizeOf(Recipients), 0);
with Recipients[0] do
begin
ulRecipClass := MAPI_TO;
lpszName := 'Maxim Masiutin';
lpszAddress := 'maxim.test#ritlabs.com';
end;
with Recipients[1] do
begin
ulRecipClass := MAPI_CC;
lpszName := 'Vasilii Pupkin';
lpszAddress := 'pupkin.test#ritlabs.com';
end;
FillChar(Originator, SizeOf(Originator), 0);
with Originator[0] do
begin
ulRecipClass := MAPI_TO;
lpszName := 'Maxim Masiutin';
lpszAddress := 'max#ritlabs.com';
end;
Msg.lpOriginator := #Originator;
Msg.nRecipCount := 2;
Msg.lpRecips := #Recipients;
Msg.nFileCount := 2;
Msg.lpFiles := #F;
FillChar(F, SizeOf(F), 0);
F[0].lpszPathName := PAnsiChar(APath1);
F[0].lpszFileName := PAnsiChar(ACaption1);
F[1].lpszPathName := PAnsiChar(APath2);
F[1].lpszFileName := PAnsiChar(ACaption2);
R := MAPISendMail(MapiSession, 0, Msg, 0, 0);
end;
The MapiSession in the above example is a handle to the session returned by MapiLogon.
This sample code requires that you pass two valid file paths to valid files in APath1 and APath2.
Under Win64
It is the record alignment of MapiMessage and other records that it is important when you work with Simple MAPI from Delphi: (1) make sure the records don't have "packed" prefix; and (2) make sure you have {$A8} compiler directive is explicitly specified before first record definition. This will work fine under both Win32 and Win64.
I useSHGetFileInfo('', 0, aFileInfo, SizeOf(TSHFileInfo), SHGFI_ICON or SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX) to extract an icon list in TImageList and then associate index with TListView. Which flag I must use to get hidden style like Explorer?
To the best of my knowledge, the system does not offer such functionality. You need to create faded icons yourself, based on the original icon. You can use a function along these lines to do that:
function CreateFadedIcon(Icon: HICON): HICON;
type
TRGBA = record
B,G,R,A: Byte
end;
procedure InitialiseBitmapInfoHeader(Width, Height: Integer; var bih: BITMAPINFOHEADER);
begin
bih.biSize := SizeOf(BITMAPINFOHEADER);
bih.biWidth := Width;
bih.biHeight := 2*Height;//height of xor bitmap plus height of and bitmap
bih.biPlanes := 1;
bih.biBitCount := 32;
bih.biCompression := BI_RGB;
end;
procedure CreateXORbitmap(const sbih, dbih: BITMAPINFOHEADER; sptr, dptr: PDWORD);
var
i, j: Integer;
begin
for i := 0 to sbih.biHeight-1 do begin
for j := 0 to sbih.biWidth-1 do begin
dptr^ := sptr^;
TRGBA(dptr^).A := TRGBA(dptr^).A div 3;
inc(dptr);//relies on the fact that no padding is needed for RGBA scanlines
inc(sptr);//likewise
end;
end;
end;
var
IconInfo: TIconInfo;
sBits, xorBits: PDWORD;
xorScanSize, andScanSize: Integer;
xorBitsSize, andBitsSize: Integer;
sbih: BITMAPINFOHEADER;
dbih: ^BITMAPINFOHEADER;
resbitsSize: DWORD;
resbits: Pointer;
begin
Result := 0;
Try
if not GetIconInfo(Icon, IconInfo) then begin
exit;
end;
Try
GetDIBheaderAndBits(IconInfo.hbmColor, sbih, Pointer(sBits));
if Assigned(sBits) then begin
Try
if (sbih.biPlanes<>1) or (sbih.biBitCount<>32) then begin
exit;
end;
xorScanSize := BytesPerScanline(sbih.biWidth, 32, 32);
Assert(xorScanSize=SizeOf(DWORD)*sbih.biWidth);
andScanSize := BytesPerScanline(sbih.biWidth, 1, 32);
xorBitsSize := sbih.biHeight*xorScanSize;
andBitsSize := sbih.biHeight*andScanSize;
resbitsSize := SizeOf(BITMAPINFOHEADER) + xorBitsSize + andBitsSize;
resbits := AllocMem(resbitsSize);//AllocMem zeroises the memory
Try
dbih := resbits;
InitialiseBitmapInfoHeader(sbih.biWidth, sbih.biHeight, dbih^);
xorBits := resbits;
inc(PByte(xorBits), SizeOf(BITMAPINFOHEADER));
CreateXORbitmap(sbih, dbih^, sBits, xorBits);
//don't need to fill in the mask bitmap when using RGBA
Result := CreateIconFromResourceEx(resbits, resbitsSize, True, $00030000, sbih.biWidth, sbih.biHeight, LR_DEFAULTCOLOR);
Finally
FreeMem(resbits);
End;
Finally
FreeMem(sBits);
End;
end;
Finally
if IconInfo.hbmMask<>0 then begin
DeleteObject(IconInfo.hbmMask);
end;
if IconInfo.hbmColor<>0 then begin
DeleteObject(IconInfo.hbmColor);
end;
End;
Finally
DestroyIcon(Icon);
End;
end;
I'm working on a PingTool and I've got a TabSheet of dynamically created buttons(anywhere from 1-150 based on user input) and I would like to be able to pass the OnClick command to all buttons on the given TabSheet. My individual button clicks successfully run my ping code, but I get a EStackOverflow message when clicking my PingAll button. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Code Excerpt below:
Code used for button creation:
begin
For x := 0 to CheckListBox1.Items.Count -1 Do
Begin
If CheckListBox1.Checked[x]=true then
begin
GLCount := (GLCount +1);
theIP :=(CheckListBox1.Items.Strings[x]);
if GLcount < 10 then begin
B := TColorButton.Create(Self);
B.Name:= ('BTN'+intToStr(GLCount+1));
B.Caption := theIP;
B.Parent := TabSheet2;
B.Height := 25;
B.Width := 97;
B.Left := 0 + GLCount * 96;
B.Top := 8;
B.BackColor := clBtnFace;
B.ForeColor := clBtnText;
B.OnClick := CustomButtonClick;
end;
CustomButtonClick Code:
Procedure TForm1.CustomButtonClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
GlobalIP:=TColorButton(Sender).caption;
IdIcmpClient1.Host := GlobalIP;
IdIcmpClient1.ReceiveTimeout := 500;
IdIcmpClient1.Ping();
case IdIcmpClient1.ReplyStatus.ReplyStatusType of
rsEcho:
TColorButton(Sender).BackColor := clGreen;
rsTimeOut:
TColorButton(Sender).BackColor := clRed;
end;
end;
PingAll Code(not working):
procedure TForm1.PingAllClick(Sender: TObject);
var
i: integer;
begin
For i := 0 to TabSheet2.ControlCount -1 do
if TabSheet2.Controls[i] is TColorButton then
begin
TColorButton(Sender).Click;
end;
end;
You are calling recurcive the method PingAllClick... look that you call TColorButton(Sender).Click instead
....
Control := tabSheet2.Controls[i]
if Control is TColorButton then
TColorButton(Control ).Click()
....
I want my form slide down and back to position with slide animation, how to make correct AnimateWinows, if it real for sure ...
void __fastcall TUsers::BitBtn1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
if (!pressed)
{
Height=700;
//AnimateWindow(Handle, 500, AW_CENTER | AW_SLIDE | AW_VER_POSITIVE);
pressed=true;
}
else
{
pressed=false;
//AnimateWindow(Handle, 500, AW_CENTER | AW_SLIDE | AW_VER_NEGATIVE);
Height=425;
}
}
to moderators : here is no mutters Builder or Delphi :)
If you are interested in controlling the animation yourself, here is a sample of code we wrote to accomplish that. It looks and works great. We are sliding Tform1 from the right to the left within a TPanel control on the main form. We ensure that Self.Parent and DoubleBuffered gets set correctly in MyCreate. ShiftLeft and then ShiftRight do the work. We ran into a problem for certain users where the Self.Top was being shifted so we are making sure that Self.Top := 0 with each iteration and when fully shifted. That solved all of the weird issues we were seeing.
Hope this helps!

That's not what AnimateWindow is for. That function hides or shows a window using some animation. Your window is already visible, and you want it to stay visible, so AnimateWindow is not for you.
What you should do instead is make your window successively taller or shorter in a loop until you reach the new desired height.
Check the following link for an answer and a cool demo program.
