Yes, no problem. You can resize the button and change the font properties as you want. Uli |

Godfrey Ultimatesoft | Yes, no problem. You can resize the button and change the font
properties as you want. Can you change the color of the button or is this controlled by a theme |

<< Can you change the color of the button or is this controlled by a theme >> First, you should watch the video that I just posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZEQBqP8NME It explains how the controls work in relation to the control interfaces. The *default* TButton uses a standard color that matches the "default" interface that ships with EWB 2, and it cannot be changed because it needs to be reversed, etc. for the various state changes. If you want a different color button, then your options are: 1) Change the default TButton interface accordingly. This works if you only want to change the color/gradient colors and have them be the "new" color/gradient colors. 2) Create a new TGodfreyButton control (just an example name) that simply specifies a new interface class name to use, and then create a new interface to use with this new class. unit GodfreyButton_Unit; interface uses WebCore, WebUITypes, WebUI, WebCtrls; type {$INTERFACE TGodfreyButton} TGodfreyButton = class(TButton) protected function GetInterfaceClassName: String; override; end; implementation function TGodfreyButton.GetInterfaceClassName: String; begin Result:=TGodfreyButton.ClassName; end; end. 3) Create a new TColorButton control that descends from the TButtonControl class and an associated interface that allows the background color to be changed: {$INTERFACE TColorButton} TColorButton = class(TButtonControl) private FModalResult: TModalResult; function GetBackground: TBackground; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This is the key protected function GetInterfaceClassName: String; override; procedure InitializeProperties; override; function DoClick: Boolean; override; published property Top; property Left; property Height; property Width; property AlwaysOnTop; property Background: TBackground read GetBackground; <<<<<<<<< This is the key property Caption; property Constraints; property Cursor; property DisplayOrder; property Enabled; property Font; property Layout; property LayoutOrder; property Margins; property ModalResult: TModalResult read FModalResult write FModalResult description 'Specifies the modal dialog result for the control'; property TabOrder; property TabStop default True; property Tag; property Visible; property OnShow; property OnHide; property OnMove; property OnSize; property OnClick; property OnDblClick; property OnMouseDown; property OnMouseMove; property OnMouseUp; property OnMouseEnter; property OnMouseLeave; property OnEnter; property OnExit; end; If you do 3), then you'll need to make sure that the control interface does *not* try to apply the background property during state transitions. Doing so will cause your control's Background property settings to be overriden when the mouse hovers over it, etc. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

<< Tim could you give me an example of what that function would look like, thanks? >> Sure, it would look like this: function TColorButton.GetBackground: TBackground; begin Result:=Element.Background; end; Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
