Delphi Firemonkey Styles

Editing Firemonkey Styles. The only way to load a.style file directly is to use the IDE Firemonkey style designer. This entry was posted in Delphi. Dec 12, 2017 - Platform Styles. In FireMonkey, the term platform style refers to a.Style file that contains a set of resources for a platform. Iwork 08 Download Dmg Os there. To start working with Platform styles, in the Form Designer, double-click the TStyleBook component to open the FireMonkey Style Designer.

A recent by Eugene Kryukov (FireMonkey designer) and Vsevolod Leonov (FireMonkey evangelist) gives a really good, in depth look at FireMonkey styles and how they work. Here are some tips I distilled down from that video along with a few things I’ve learn myself. How a style name is constructed You’ll want to know this if you’re creating custom controls. If you don’t explicitly state a style name for your control (and you probably don’t want to) FireMonkey will search for a style based on te class name of your control - it removes the preceding ‘T’ and appends ‘Style’ to the end. So, a TButton uses a style ‘ButtonStyle’. A TEdit, ‘EditStyle’, a TCalender ‘CalendarStyle’ and so on. Style names can also be inherited But if you’re subclassing a component you may not want to have to create a style for it if you haven’t modified anything which alters the styling.

And if that’s the case you don’t need to. If you create a component. StyleFileName:= 'C: Styles MyStyle.style'; This is best done in your project file, before the line to Application.Initialize. Ideally there should be some way to set the default style from within your applications project options, or to load it from a resource. Sadly, after much experimentation, I can’t find a way to do this. If you know better, please comment. Where your application gets it’s styling info As you know you can pop a StyleBook on a form to customise your style.

But adding a separate stylebook to each and every form: duplicates data; increases redistributable sizes; is a mainainance nightmare (update every form when you change a style?); just isn’t DRY. Much better to create a single master StyleBook on your main form, then link each child’s stylebook to that on the main form. You can do that with the following in each forms OnCreate event handler:[1]. StyleBook:= TForm ( Application. StyleBook1; **Update: If you do this make sure you set the StyleBook property back to nil before freeing the form. If not you’ll get AVs if the style is reloaded, and possible in other scenarios due to a hanging pointer. Note, however that this doesn’t work within the form editor.

Create a custom control, add it to your child form and it won’t show the style you have loaded in your main forms StyleBook. I really hope Embarcadero find some kind of workaround for this. Or better yet, improve the style book handling within FireMonkey.

Set your StyleBook property This gotcha has caught me a few times: You add a StyleBook to your form, change the style within it, set your components StyleLookup property and run your application. And you get the default style. You should have set the forms StyleBook property to point to the StyleBook. Note that if you right click a control and edit it’s style, a StyleBook will be created and the StyleBook property will be set, but only if there isn’t already a StyleBook present. If you create the StyleBook manually, you need to set the StyleBook property yourself.
