Intro to Event-driven Programming and Forms with Delphi
L07 - Creating Controls at RuntimePart 1
Creating Controls at Runtime
• Let’s have the following form design
var TempShape:TShape;
procedure TForm2.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
// Now we initialize the shape to use it as a NORMAL
// one
TempShape:= TShape.Create(self);
End;
var i: Integer;
Creating Controls at Runtime
•We declare the “control” like any other variable
uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes,
Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs, StdCtrls,
ExtCtrls;
Creating Controls at Runtime
• Compiler Error – Tshape is undeclared type
• So don’t forget to add ExtCtrls.
Var TempShape:Tshape;
procedure TForm2.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
// Now we initialize the shape to use it as a NORMAL
// one
TempShape:= Tshape.Create(self);
End;
Creating Controls at Runtime
•Compile and Run but no shape outputted after writing the following code.
– What’s messing?
procedure TForm2.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
TempShape:= Tshape.Create(self);
TempShape.Parent:= Panel1;
end;
Creating Controls at Runtime
procedure TForm2.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
TempShape:= Tshape.Create(self);
TempShape.Parent:= Panel1;
TempShape.Shape:= stEllipse;
TempShape.Height:= 100;
TempShape.Width:= 50;
TempShape.Left:= 100;
TempShape.Top:= 50;
TempShape.Brush.Color:= 255;
end;
