Title: Does FireFly support Control Docking and Colouring?
Post by: dCipher Computing on May 07, 2012, 04:58:49 PM
Hi

1) Does FireFly support changing widget background and foreground colours?  I did not see how to do this for buttons in the Visual Designer
2) Does FireFly Visual Designer support docking controls to left, right, top and bottom edges of forms so that if the form is resized the controls re-position themselves based on what edges of the form they are bound to?  In some development environments you can bind the controls to edges based on absolute pixels or percentages and I wondered if FireFly supports this.

If not I would like to suggest these as new features.

Thanks,
Simon

Hi

I can answer the control docking question and the answer is yes is supported.  I just did not what it was called but I have found it now.

"Buttons" such as CommandButtons can not have different fore/back colors assigned by default. To change colors for those controls you would need to resort to ownerdrawn. It is not straight forward for everyday use so you are better off using a custom control such as the RRButton.
