I have a groupbox with a TsLabelFx and a couple of checkboxes. The checkboxes have custom images.

I want the TsLabelFx to be color coordinated with the color of the checkboxes when they are checked.

This project will show you what I mean.

[attachment=8897:acColorCoordinated.zip]

Initializing the Kind.Color of TsLabelFx to slBtnGreenText actually makes it Blue!!!

What is the best approach here. I want to keep the color coordination in dark skins too.

it seems to work that way.

lfx.Kind.Color := $FFFFFF and slBtnGreenText;

Very nice, thank you.

This solves one part of the problem. Now getting the color right for dark skins.

Will be better to use the acColorToRGB function.

slBtnGreenText is not RGB color, this color should be converted to the current skin color:

Code:

lfx.Kind.Color := acColorToRGB(slBtnGreenText);

Uses sVCLUtils;

That's great!

Now can you repair the missing OnAfterChange and OnActivate events. They are not fired if the application starts.

Also OnDeactivate is not fired when the application closes.

OnAfterChange event should be fired when changed one activated skin to another.

OnActivate and OnDeactivate will work in the v14.01 as expected.

Much better!

I was looking for something like this, but I couldn't find it.

Thank you

This function works with standard colors like clWindow, clBtnFace and others (returns color from the current skin).
