Check out the TActionManager component and various controls on the Additional tab. There is a demo that ships called Wordpad. It is in the \Demos\ActnBands folder.
You can also create your own custom styles. http://bdn.borland.com/article/0,1410,33461,00.html cheers, Jeremy On 5/16/06, John Bird <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I am using the XP Themes component, which is great. This gives rounded buttons with a faint orange mouse over effect - its a standard XP feature. However I have also see other effects which I like which I haven't yet got: I am wondering about the buttons and menu items widely available in Windows XP, for instance in Outlook 2002 and in the Delphi 2006 IDE - buttons that are invisible or flat with a mouse over blue highlight and similar blue highlights on the main menu items current item. Are these available in D2006? (Up to now I have been using my own modified tjbclColorbutton which has full control over foreground and background colour, and also mouse-over foreground and background colour and optional bolding of text with mouse over.....looks ok if I do say so myself. Available as giveaway if anyone interested). The XP buttons I have seen in the IDE and Outlook I do prefer though - as they add border effects. John Bird
