Very nice. I like the new design.
Side note: Who wrote that FScroller for the new menu editor? It acts
very erratic for me on Gtk2. I don't know about on other widget sets.
See issue 29369. Why not use TScrollBox or make TShadowMenu a
TScrollingWinControl?
I wrote it. It is definitely the weakest part of the new designer. I
hate to reinvent the wheel. However, I could not get a TScrollBox
container to work correctly for TShadowMenu, perhaps because its size
calculation and painting is rather non-standard. Whatever the reason I
was unable to get a TScrollBox container to respond correctly to
TShadowMenu size changes when there were more than a screenful of
menuitems.
I'm honestly not sure if the best approach to sorting it out is to
mend (or rewrite) FScroller, or to figure out a way for TScrollBox to
parent TShadowMenu correctly. I did not try making TShadowMenu a
TScrollingWinControl descendant. Perhaps that would be a better
option. What would others advise?
What were your problems? In r51298 I removed all the Scroller code and
simply used TScrollBox for TShadowMenu and it works without any problems
- much better than your Scroller experiment. I tested win32 and Linux+Gtk2.
