ThemeSwitcher layout

[JMiller]

Hello!

I found three inconsistencies in the ThemeSwitcher:

1. If the ThemeSwitcher is not wide enough, the open sympol is put into the next line.

If the Region ends there and for example a frame is loaded into the Region below, the ThemeSwitcher get's overlapped by that Region (no matter how high the ZIndex).

2. Depending on the width of the control, the theme titles are either below or beside the DatePicker example.

3. The scrollbar alway makes the ThemeSwitcher window 13 pixels wider than the control.

Hi

please, you have to post some code, how should we know in what context is this happening?

all issues, seems to be related to the width? what do you consider inconsistences?

[JMiller]

what do you consider inconsistences?

I didn't want to write "errors", may be "optical faults" is better.

Hi

1. I tried this in a little new test project and it goes like this:
I put two Regions in the MainForm.
Region1->Align = alTop; Region2->Align = alClient.
A ThemeSwitcher is located in the first Region with about 2 pixels to the lower border. (e.g. Region1->Height = 200; ThemeSwitcher->Top = 176; ThemeSwitcher->Height = 22;)
If I click on the ThemeSwitcher it opens, but behind Region2 like shown in ThemeSwitcher3.png (c.f. my first post).
I can send you the test case of course, but it's in C++ again and can be reproduced as descriped.

2. Just set ThemeSwitcher->Width = 150 at design time and open the control at run time.
3. This happens in your demo, too. I just think it looks bad:

Hello!

I updated to 2.3.0.37 (and IW14). The issues 1a (open symbol) and 3 are resolved
Issues 1b (TS disapearing behind another Region) and 2 remain

Should I send you that test case I mentioned?


Best regards,

Hi

Issue 1b (TS disapearing behind another Region)

, can you detail more please?

and 2 remain

2. Just set ThemeSwitcher->Width = 150 at design time and open the control at run time.

What issue is this?

Issue 1b (TS disapearing behind another Region)

, can you detail more please?

If I have two Regions and a ThemeSwitcher (TS) in one of them, the TS cannot overlap the other Region.

and 2 remain

2. Just set ThemeSwitcher->Width = 150 at design time and open the control at run time.

What issue is this?

The numbering is the same as in the opening post. Number 2 is the one, where the titles are below or beside the example, depending on their title length.

Hi

For the first issue you just have to set zindex of top region higher than bottom region.

[JMiller]

It was higher, but Region 1 was in another Region, which also needed a higher ZIndex.

Thanks for the pointer.
