Description
The Flat Component Library (FCL) is a feature-rich component library for CodeGear/Borland RAD development environments (C++ Builder and Delphi).
The FCL contains basic and enhanced controls (like panels, buttons, views, fields, etc.) which can fully be customized and skinned. Thereby, it is based on native and pure Win32 and not on .NET technology. A quick overview can be found in this feature list.
The FCL core library supports the following controls
- forms and dialogs
- main menu, popup menu
- panel, groupbox, scrollbox
- button, repeat button, speed button
- checkbox, radio button
- text edit, numeric edits (with spin buttons), memo
- page control, tab sheet
- listview, combobox
- scrollbar, slider, progressbar
- label
- hint window
- scrolling view
100+ additional properties and features for each control and component
visual appearance of each control is fully customizable, either with simple properties or user functions
- color (by value, tiled bitmap, stretched bitmap or totally user drawn)
- alpha channels (transparency) (by value, tiled bitmap, stretched bitmap or totally user drawn)
- skinning/shaping (by value, tiled bitmap, stretched bitmap, special corner modes or totally user drawn)
- border (size, color, alpha channels)
- selection
- content
- animation support
support for real transparency
- pixel-wise alpha channel supported
- controls under other controls are still drawn and working (e.g. editable memo under glass panel)
all controls can be labeled easily (up to two bound labels per control)
enhanced layout system
- the alignment and dimensions of controls can be hooked to any other component (or its container) and is fully customizable
- two modes are supported in addition: relative (percentage) and absolute (pixels) positioning and resizing
integrated system for toggling properties on standard events, for example:
- deactivate buttons, if lists are empty
- active sub-control, if checkbox is checked
- hide controls, if checkbox is unchecked
- bring visibility state of multiple controls into line
- (thousands of possibilities) ...
additional helper components and functions
- logging
- update locking to avoid flickering
- design container
support for automatic skinning via style file
