I was wondering, if it is somehow possible to add a TextBox in the Application Bar area (the same way the Internet Explorer does), but I didn't find any information source about this. Have you any idea, how to accomplish this task?
You will not be able to add UIElements inside ApplicationBar as it is not derived from UIElement.
Alternatively, you can try adding a Grid at the bottom of the screen and color it similar to the ApplicationBar. Then add a TextBlock inside the Grid. This is just a workaround and not recommended as it is not according to the standards.

In TlistView Dynamic appearance I added a few object appearanced to the item.
I have a TextObjectAppearence and an ImageObjectAppearence.
I want to set the image to be a background for the text meaning the text should be on top of the image.
I tried right-clicking on the image object and selecting SendToBack but it doesn't seem to work.
At run-time, there's also not any way to call ListItemImage.sendtoback etc.
what is the right way of doing it?
I've attached a screenshot of the two items overlapping...
The only way I found is to open fmx file in text mode and to move the various objects in the order needed (first is the deeper)
I implemented simple application according of example simple login view. Where we have login-view and main-view. But now, how I can implement on main-view MenuBar where every Items when clicked open different views. And those views are under MenuBar in same place (center on the page under MenuBar, on sample) in main-view. I tried with additional navigator(which name can be subNavigator) in main-view but we must register navigator in UI(I have got appropriate error). Second solution is that I create UI and in init method ManuBar and under it change every views(login-view, view1, view2 etc). But login-view have ManuBar and it is do not looks good. Is there any other way or are other ways to achieve something similar?
Your question is not at all clear. I suggest re-writing it. Perhaps with a sketch image.
TabSheet
Are you aware of the TabSheet widget? An easy way to switch between panes of content.
See the Book Of Vaadin, the class doc, and the live demo.
Also, look at TabSheet in the Reindeer theme as shown in this demo.
I'm relatively new to programming and my problem is with a TMainMenu on my form.
I researched a lot (a whole lot) of sites for a solution, but haven't found any that solves this exact problem.
The main menu won't resize, not even when I change the fontsize using Screen.MenuFont.Size. I tried setting the Height property in the OnMeasureItem handler, I tried resizing the images and sub-menuitems at both design- and runtime, I even tried capturing Windows' message WMDrawItem and changing it's parameter before passing it on...
The menu items in the component are resized accordingly, but the vertical height of the menubar itself isn't. (the line seen on the picture below cutting through the icons)
Is there an easy solution to this, like setting some well hidden height property somewhere?
Or do I have to rewrite half of delphi's code to achieve my goal?
Help with code examples are appreciated. :-)
Here's an image:
I am using Delphi 7 on a Win7 machine.
The height of the menu bar is a Windows metric setting. Thus it is valid system wide - not only for your application. If at all, it can only be changed via the display settings of Windows itself.
I would recommend to use TActionMainMenuBar instead. It is much more flexible then the TMainMenu.
You can change the font of the menu bar very easy as well.
I would like to add an icon to the header of my data grid as it is done in Thunderbird.
There is an icon that is above the vertical scrollbar, no matter the position of the horizontal scrollbar. This icon allows the setup of the columns.
In Delphi there a lot of different grid components, that allow customizations and adding icons to there cells / header cells. But I could not find any component that has an area above the vertical scrollbar that is fixed, which when clicked allows some action. I could even use the VirtualTreeView component to emulate the grid, if it turns out to be easier to customize that component.
I am looking for some guidance on what need to be done to get that functionality.
Thanks,
Thomas
VirtualTreeView in Listbox mode would be nice, because of it's speed, great documentation and ease use in MVC-like patterns. Delphi tempts to store data in the visual components themselves, which letter causes troubles. While VTW allwos the same, it also allows to acutally separate data from GUI, and i like it.
But i am surprised by your claim "which when clicked allows some action.".
Even most basic components allow it:
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/XE2/en/Vcl.Grids.TCustomGrid.OnFixedCellClick
So could you make more detaiils, why you cannot use standard components ? with screenshot and editors, how u want it rendered, where you want to click and what kind of action should happen ?
Openoffice writer has a set of navigation buttons (up, select, down) shown below the vertical scrollbar.
I wish to remove this as my app is kiosk software.
I only wish to remove the navigation buttons, not the scrollbar.
I'm trying to remove/hide these programmatically using the Java UNO bindings. However if there is a solution because of the nature of UNO it should be possible in any language.
I'm using openoffice 3.3.0
Things I've tried:
View settings: The scrollbar can be hidden by setting the property ("ShowVertRuler", false) from the view settings obtained via XTextDocument => CurrentController => XViewSettingsSupplier => XViewSettings. No similar property exists for the navigation buttons. Interestingly hiding the scrollbar also hides the navigation buttons implying it is all one widget??
XUIElement access: I've removed other elements like toolbars by obtaining the XLayoutManager via XFrame, iterating over the list of XUIElement and calling XLayoutManager.hideElement() with the ResourceURL for the XUIElement.
XAccessible access: I have found examples of how to get the scrollbar value by getting an XAccessible reference. See this thread. However it only seems possible to set/get model values using XAccessible, and not affect visibility.
Looking at documentation for UNO and much googling.
I'm only after a pointer in the right direction in terms of the API. I can write any code necessary myself.
As Openoffice is a free software, you can access the source code and remove the line which displays the navigation button to create a customized version of Openoffice without this button.
