how can i have a image for Editbox background ?
This is very possible, indeed. In your form, define
private
{ Private declarations }
FBitmap: TBitmap;
FBrush: HBRUSH;
protected
procedure WndProc(var Message: TMessage); override;
and do
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
FBitmap := TBitmap.Create;
FBitmap.LoadFromFile('C:\Users\Andreas Rejbrand\Pictures\AS20Utv.bmp');
FBrush := 0;
FBrush := CreatePatternBrush(FBitmap.Handle);
end;
and
procedure TForm1.WndProc(var Message: TMessage);
begin
inherited;
case Message.Msg of
WM_CTLCOLOREDIT, WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC:
if (Message.LParam = Edit1.Handle) and (FBrush <> 0) then
begin
SetBkMode(Message.WParam, TRANSPARENT);
Message.Result := FBrush;
end;
end;
end;
Of course you can wrap this into a component of your own, say TEditEx
. If I get time over, I might do this. (And, notice that there is no need to buy an expensive (and maybe not that high-quality) component pack from a third-party company.)
