Thanks, I've got almost all of it working perfectly now! Still working on getting “BlendOnMoving” to work and figuring out why the icon won't display (probably corrupt resource) but I'll figure it all out in time 🙂

A Sincere thank-you for all of your help Serge!

EDIT:

Found out why the icon was blank! I went through the resource file with resource hacker and it seems that it was not corrupt after all. So it must've been encountering an error while it was being created/loaded from the resource. (for some unknown reason…). So i just loaded it manually from the resource on the onCreate method using this:

Code:

Application.Icon.Handle := LoadIcon(hInstance, 'MAINICON'); //MAINICON being the name of the icon inside the resource file.

Just posting this in-case anybody ever has the same problem because it was quite annoying.

Now, if i can just get “BlendOnMoving” to work… 😛

I think you should use controls from the package for this effect.

Is there a way to load the components dynamically from the package? I wonder because when i use them at design-time, my libraries output size is greatly increased.

Thanks for all your help regarding this matter. I'm quite pleased now that my plugins are so easily skinned 🙂

I'm sorry, it's not possible now, maybe later.

This is fine, I'll be anticipating when it gets added though.

Also, 2 final questions, the blend on move property seems to have no effect when using the run-time package. When i don't build with run-time packages however, it seems to work fine. Would you have any idea why?

Finally, I don't think it has anything to do with Alpha Controls, but I was hoping you might know anyway 🙂 Whenever I build with run-time packages, the application Icon seems to disappear. When i build without run-time packages, again, it works fine. Here is what i mean:

Thanks a lot!

Using acntDx_r.bpl as run-time package is a best way. Other ways have other problems ('can not assign TFont to TFont', for example), these problems are known and discussed on Internet.

This control is not supported at moment.

Thanks for your help 🙂 I have gotten my DLLs skinned using run time packages.

Is it possible to make the components in my DLL forms glow as if they were using the “AnimatEvents” property?

Also, If possible could support for TTrackBar and TScrollBar be added to the Third Party List?

Thanks.

If you mean a skinning of controls loaded from Dll then it's possible and many discussions exists already here.

Try to search “*DLL*”

I searched this but the only way that i could find was to build with run-time packages.

I can do this but i would prefer not to. Is there any other way to do it?

Also, another thing i was wondering, is there support for the TTrackBar component in the ThirdPartyList?

Thanks.

Hello and thank you for screenshot.

Please try to reproduce this problem in a new application. It's possible?

PS. This topic was moved to “Troubleshooting” part.

Thanks for your reply, but I think I have figured out the problem.

It has nothing to do with Extended Borders, I have recently found. The problem lies in the “Alpha Blend” property of the form. When i disabled it, this bug stopped occuring 🙂

Thanks.

1 week and no reply? I simply want to know whether it is possible or not and if so, how to approach it. Please Help!

Thanks.

Hello

FORMTITLE section used for a title skinning in forms and dialogs.

So, you can edit this section and receive a changed caption in dialogs…

Ok, i understand. Problem solved! Thanks

Hello!

Vista dialogs skiining is in plans already. I hope they will be skinned on this summer.

I'm sorry, but there is no ways for a changing of dialog title skin in run-time. This title may be changed in a skin editor only.

awesome, well i'll be looking forward to vista dialog skinning 🙂 and if possible it would be really great if dialog title bars could adapt to use the same title bar as the rest of the forms.

With that said, could you explain how i could accomplish this in the skin editor?

also, i just want to say, i am really impressed with the Alpha Controls library. It is definitely the best and easiest skinning framework for RAD studio 🙂 keep up the good work.
