VistaPanel updated to version 1.1

Some possibilities with rkVistaPanel

So what is new, what have I done.
I removed some properties, like the bottomline and its color property.
I added an opacity property. All panels in the screenshot are rkVistaPanels even the main background.
Some code cleanup.

    Hi Nur Cholif,

    Yes I know about the gdi+ from mitov and actually planing to use it in my next update of rkSmartTabs to avoid the many problems users get when using the existing gdi+ solution. 
    Regarding flickering I do not notice any flickering in Delphi 2010 what version are you using?

  • Nur Cholif

    i’m happy to hear that.
    i’m using delphi xe, flicker when resize if contains control, ie tedit, and its not fixing until i call repaint,also if any png image with alphablending, some artifact appears,did you receive my g+ invitation ?

    Well It might have to do with mixing graphics and windows components I guess, since I have seen it myself when doing that. I dont have a simple solution except forcing a repaint in onresize event of the form.

    Yes I recived your g+ invite and I have used it :) , thanks! Problem is that none of my friends using it… I am not very much into what and how to do things in g+ yet.

    Hi Roy,

    Thanks for this and the other great components! I especially enjoyed this and the rkView component – I have learned a lot by following your code.

    Hello,

    Really like your controls! 
    I have a few issues to report in VistaPanel:
    1) OnResize event never called. If you set panel to align Client and set OnResize event then it will never call if you resize the form.
    2) There is no Constrains property for the panel. Do you plan to add this property?

    Thanks for your work!

    Andrey.

    I would like to add this:
    3) There is no TabOrder property for the VistaPanel. I would like to set this property (like in TPanel) so that controls in it activated in specific order.

    Andrey.
