Animation and layouts |
Tue, Apr 5 2016 9:47 AM | Permanent Link |
Matthew Jones | I am looking at having a number of panels on a scrollpanel, and they
may be variable height depending on options selected and content. I figured it would be really nice to have them animate their height as this changes. But in the automatic layout, the panel underneath jumps immediately, and then the animation happens, and it looks a lot less nice than I'd hope. Perhaps though I've missed some option that can be deployed? I've attached a simple demo - click the checkbox to see it happen. Attachments: LayoutHeight.zip |

Uli Becker | Tim,
<< Care to elaborate ?? >> That's weird: on your website there is no content in Matthew's post (just the attachment). In my Newsreader (Thunderbird) I see this text: << I am looking at having a number of panels on a scrollpanel, and they may be variable height depending on options selected and content.

In a separate thought, maybe I should tell it to animate the Top property too, if I want that animated! It also made me think it would be nice to have a global "animations off/on" function that told animation code to just complete instantly. Handy at startup and for those who get giddy from movement. -- Matthew Jones |

A way to stop all animation for a moment would still be good - I can't see one obvious. (I realise it would be complicated, but perhaps just a "jump to end state if global set" would be sufficient so that the events still happen.) -- Matthew Jones |

This is the top animation that I set in the form that is then parented. The animation is needed later but it is a pity to not be able to preset it and control when it happens. Perhaps an animations active property in the TAnimations object? Or a global. Anyway, I can code it. And maybe that's better anyway. Make a routine to apply animation to a panel or form and gain some consistency and a single place to update. Hmm. -- Matthew Jones |
