Hi Paul,

I’m not sure which 8 components you are referring to. The KSVC controls only support VCL. Well, I suppose the nonvisual controls in KSVC could also be used in an FMX application.

I’m not sure what plans Embarcadero has for the Signature controls. I do know that there is a big push for High DPI support. I do not know if there are plans for migrating some of the functionality in KSVC to FMX controls.

It turns out that Embarcadero did not change the version number of the components–Ugh. So the version number is still 6.2.3, but the version that is available in the 10.3 Rio GetIt Package Manager is built for Rio.

I apologize for the delay in responding. Been rather busy getting new versions of our Raize Software products released.

Back to your question. From the code you provided, it looks like you are using VCL Styles. Is that correct? Then in that case, the technique I provided above will not work. The reason is because the button is designed to pickup the custom style when active. The default behavior of the TRzToolButton is to pickup the background and font colors from the style. I’m not quite sure what appearance you are trying to achieve since you are essentially getting rid of the gradient and hiding the button frame. What style are you using? and what appearance are you trying to achieve?

That is an excellent question. I am trying to get the answer to that as well.

You’re welcome. I’m glad you saw the notice on the website.

Hi,

There is no built-in properties to allow this, but you could write event handlers for the OnMouseEnter and OnMouseLeave events and do something like this:

procedure TForm4.RzToolButton1MouseEnter(Sender: TObject);
begin
  RzToolButton1.Font.Color := clRed;
end;

procedure TForm4.RzToolButton1MouseLeave(Sender: TObject);
begin
  RzToolButton1.Font.Color := clGreen;
end;

Does the C++ Package include the CodeSiteExpressPkg package in the requires clause?

Thanks. I’ll fix it. Copy and paste error 🙂

Hi Steve,
I’ll have Jim, who is the architect of DropMaster, respond to your questions.

If the Dispatcher is getting started, then I suspect that you have another CodeSite.Send method being called before you are disabling the logging. To disable logging, be sure to call CodeSiteManager.Enabled := False before sending any CodeSite messages.

Thanks for the message. The activation is handled by the forum plug-in that we are using for the site. I’ll look into it.

Hi Chris,

You may have noticed that the TRzDBDateTimePicker has a grayed icon in the component palette. That is because it is deprecated. And the reason it is deprecated is precisely for the reason that you are running into. Because the TRzDBDateTimePicker (and TRzDateTimePicker) are descendants of the DateTime Picker Windows control, we are limited in what can be done with the content. The handling of null values is just one instance.

Instead, we recommend using the TRzDBDateTimeEdit component. The component does a much better job of handling null fields and allows for freeform input, making it more flexible. Plus, if you are editing field that contains both Date and Time values, you can drop two TRzDBDateTimeEdit controls onto your form and point them both to the same DB Field–one control edits the Date portion and the other edits the Time.

Hi Harald,

You can download the CodeSiteJsonLogging unit from the Downloads section of my Delphi By Design blog (https://delphibydesign.com/downloads/). At the bottom of the page, in the CodeSite section, you will find the entry for the CodeSite JSON Logging download.

By the way, the next major release of CodeSite will have integrated support for JSON.

Hi,

In order for the OnDrawColumnCell event to fire, you need to set the DefaultDrawing property to False. Then you need to handle drawing the content of all the cells. Here is a simple example:

procedure TForm29.RzDBGrid1DrawColumnCell(Sender: TObject; const Rect: TRect; DataCol: Integer; Column: TColumn;
  State: TGridDrawState);
begin
  if Column.FieldName = 'AB' then
    RzDBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color := clRed
  else
    RzDBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color := clYellow;
  RzDBGrid1.DefaultDrawColumnCell( Rect, DataCol, Column, State );
end;

The code above results in every cell of the grid having a background of Yellow, except for the ‘AB’ column which has a background color of Red. The DefaultDrawColumnCell method is used to actually to the drawing.

I apologize for the delay in responding. I did not realize you asked a follow-up question. Consider the following code. I have dropped a TRzComboBox, a TRzButton, and a TRzLabel onto a form.

procedure TForm29.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  RzComboBox1.AddItemValue( 'Item One', '1' );
  RzComboBox1.AddItemValue( 'Item Two', '2' );
  RzComboBox1.AddItemValue( 'Item Three', '3' );
  RzComboBox1.AddItemValue( 'Item Four', '4' );
  RzComboBox1.AddItemValue( 'Item Five', '5' );
end;

The above code adds several items and values to the list. You can get the Values by using the Values list property. For example:

procedure TForm29.RzButton1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  RzLabel1.Caption := RzComboBox1.Values[ RzComboBox1.ItemIndex ];
end;

But the problem with this approach is that you need to protect against ItemIndex being -1, which will lead to an Index Out Of Bounds exception. A better approach is to simply use the Value property as shown below:

procedure TForm29.RzButton1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  RzLabel1.Caption := RzComboBox1.Value;
end;
