Creating a FireMonkey Component (Delphi)

Go Up to FireMonkey Components Guide

Example: Dialog Button Panel

Both Windows and macOS promote interface guidelines, which include the order and placement of standard Do/Don't/Cancel buttons in dialog boxes. The guidelines for these two platforms are slightly different. A common example is a Save dialog box with "Save", "Don't Save", and "Cancel" as the choices. The TDialogButtonPanel custom component that is created here encapsulates those differences with platform-specific style files, included as RCDATA.

These are the steps:

• Step 1 - Create the Projects (Delphi)
• Step 2 - Design the Panel (Delphi)
• Step 3 - Add Style-Resources as RCDATA (Delphi)
• Step 4 - Set Size and Alignment (Delphi)
• Step 5 - Custom Properties (Delphi)
