Action Properties Dialog

[standay]

Hi Sergey,

I'm using RVAControlPanel OnCreateForm to change the opening position of the dialogs. Works well to reposition:

Code: Select all

procedure TForm1.RVAControlPanel1CreateForm(Form: TForm);
begin
  Form.Position := poScreenCenter;
end;

However, I found that with properties dialogs the OK and Cancel buttons aren't positioned correctly:

And should look like this:

correct.png (12.61 KiB) Viewed 10656 times

I added some code to account for this:

Code: Select all

procedure TForm1.RVAControlPanel1CreateForm(Form: TForm);
var
  i: integer;
begin
  Form.Position := poScreenCenter; 
  for i := 0 to Form.ComponentCount-1 do
  begin
    if Form.Components[i].ClassType = TButton then
    begin
      if (TButton(Form.Components[i]).Caption = 'OK') or (TButton(Form.Components[i]).Caption = 'Cancel') then
      begin
        TButton(Form.Components[i]).Top := Form.ClientHeight - TButton(Form.Components[i]).Height - 8;
      end;
    end;
  end;
end;

Thought you'd like to be aware of that.

I cannot reproduce the problem with buttons.
What versions of TRichView and Delphi do you use?

Hi Sergey,

Richview right now is 20.5 and Delphi is 10.3

I tried it in the ActionTestUni demo and it does it there too for me. Here's what I did:

1. Add

   Code: Select all

   Form.Position := poScreenCenter

   to the RVAControlPanel OnCreateForm.
2. Run the demo.
3. Menu: Table | Insert Table... (defaults are fine).
4. Menu: Table Properties...

Resulting table properties dialog should show the problem.

I confirm the problem in Delphi 10.3
(Previously, I tested in Delphi 11, it does not have this problem).

I'll see what I can do.

Hmm, interesting that it's OK in D11. If you can figure out what it's doing in the source that would be great. Otherwise the fix I made works OK. I have no plans to upgrade my Delphi at this time due to cost. But, we'll see. I may change my mind later.

Thanks Sergey

As I can see, this is the only RichViewActions form that has this problem.
This form adjusts positions of these buttons in code, and form window recreation (that happens when assigning Form.Position) causes wrong realignment.
The full fix for this problem is too long to post it here, so you can use your workaround (you can add a check: "if Form is TfrmRVItemProp then")

I added that check to my code.

Note that it also does it on the object properties action dialog, same fix corrects that one though so all's well with that.

Thanks Sergey

All object properties (including table properties) are implemented in the same form, except for equations and report shapes.
