Hello!

I need a Button (or something else that does a slight color change when hovering the mouse over it) with a vertical caption. Ideally the background filling is rotated as well.

Is there any way to achieve that with AlphaControls?

AlphaControls' Font.Orientation property works as bad and unusable as in the standard VCL implementation.

Attached there's screenshot of a button (inactive/active) and the same image roatated 90degrees. That llok would be perfect as the rotated background filling gives the button a nice 3d-look.

If the background is not rotated it looks like in the 3rd picture. It's also ok, but the other way is a bit nicer. Here I've got the rotated text directly out of Delphi using a TsPageControl. Btw: Using the TsPageControls as a Button-replacement is not really an option, I need these vertical buttons quite often and placing PageControls all over the place would be an overkill…

And ideas?

Thanks,

Ralf

Hello Ralf

This feature should be added specially. I have added it in ToDo list, but can't promise a quick implementation.

Hey!

Thanks for your response, but I've implemented a neat vertical button in the meantime.

So you can save your time for enjoying the sunny weather 😉

Thanks anyway!

You uses OnPaint event?

I created a TPanel-decendant with an overwritten Paint-method.

Alpha Buttons have OnPaint event too. 🙂
