You can try the LCL-CustomDrawn widgets, but last I checked they were
still in alpha state, and not ready for prime usage.
Thanks, I will have a look at it.
If it's a new project, or you have the UI well abstracted, you could
always give fpGUI Toolkit (see my signature) a go. Adding the
functionality you require into fpGUI will take about 15 minutes.
But that means that I have to abandon the LCL, correct?
Or can I mix LCL and fpGUI?
By the way, when you say multi-color text in a TEdit, do you mean some
parts of the text is one color, and other parts another etc.
Yes. I want to display file paths where the delimiters (\ or /) are displayed
in a different
color than the directory/file names between them.
This works already fine when using LCLintf.drawtext and canvas.fillrect (at the
end).
Though it took me a while to find out that drawtext does not overwrite the
whole rect
area and I needed to place a fillrect in the paint routine of the form.
And the handling when drawing directly on the form is arkward because I have to
do
everything on my own. No automatics like anchoring, repainting, etc. are
available.
What I need is a TLabel, where I can draw the text on my on (but everything else
should be available) and an TEdit component where I can draw the text myself
*and* I also want to do the keyboard handling myself (i.e., when typing
backspace
while the text is still highlighted it should *not* delete the whole highlight
but
only delete the last character).
