Determines if and how the width and height of this control should be modified to take the fixed space dictated by the style of this control

ApplyStyleLookup()

Gets and applies the style of a TStyledControl.

ApplyTriggerEffect(AInstance: FmxObject, ATrigger: str) → None

Applies the specified mouse trigger effect to all the children of this FMX object that are of type TEffect. FMX.ListBox.TListBoxItem.ApplyTriggerEffect inherits from FMX.Controls.TControl.ApplyTriggerEffect. All content below this line refers to FMX.Controls.TControl.ApplyTriggerEffect. Applies the specified mouse trigger effect to all the children of this FMX object that are of type TEffect. ApplyTriggerEffect iterates through all the children of this FMX object and, if one of them is of type TEffect, applies the mouse trigger given through the ATrigger parameter (which can be ‘IsMouseOver’, ‘IsMouseOver’, ‘IsDragOver’, and so on). AInstance specifies the instance of the FMX object to which the trigger effect is applied.

AutoTranslate

Specifies whether the control’s text should be translated

ClipChildren

Specifies if children of the control should be clipped to the control’s on-screen region. Set ClipChildren to

True if you want child controls to be clipped to the control’s on-screen region. False if you want child controls to be able to extend beyond the region of the parent control.

Type:

bool

ClipParent

Specifies whether the current control has clipped its parent. When ClipParent is True, TControl cuts off the portion of the parent that lies under the control when the control is painted by the Paint and Painting methods. Parts of the control that do not contain visible objects cut off holes in the parent’s image. ClipParent is ignored in PaintChildren and other painting methods. If one parent has more that one child control having ClipParent equals True, then only one of these child controls is painted with ClipParent equals True. Others child controls are painted as if ClipParent equals False.

Type:

bool

Cursor

Image to use to represent the mouse pointer when it passes into the region covered by the control. Change the value of Cursor to provide feedback to the user when the mouse pointer enters the control. For a list of cursor constants, see System.UITypes Constants. The image representations of the cursor depend on the theme active on the current platform. If Cursor is set to the default cursor, this control might display a different cursor when the mouse pointer is over it. The actual cursor that this control displays is the cursor defined in InheritedCursor, a read-only property that is calculated based not only in the value of Cursor in this control, but also the value of Cursor in any ancestor of this control (parent, grand-parent, and so on until the parent form).

Type:

int

Data

Stores a Tvalue, which is a data structure that can store different kinds of data types. FMX.ListBox.TListBoxItem.Data inherits from FMX.Types.TFmxObject.Data. All content below this line refers to FMX.Types.TFmxObject.Data. Stores a Tvalue, which is a data structure that can store different kinds of data types. Data has no predefined meaning. Although Data is used for LiveBinding, any succesor override this behavior. Then, the behaviour of Data is based on the type of its value.

Note: Do not use this member. It is for internal use only.

Type:

Object

DefaultStyleLookupName

Returns a string with the name of the default style of this control

DragMode

Specifies how the control initiates drag-and-drop operations. Use DragMode to control when the user can drag the control. Disable the drag-and-drop capability at run time by setting the DragMode property value to dmManual. Enable automatic dragging by setting DragMode to dmAutomatic.

Type:

DragMode

EnableDragHighlight

Specifies whether the control is highlighted when the dragged object is over it.

Type:

bool

Font

Specifies the font to use when rendering the text. Set Font to specify the font to use when rendering the text. To change to a new font, specify a new TFont object. To modify a font, change the value of the Family, Size, or Style of the TFont object.

Type:

Font

GetParentComponent()

Returns the containing component. Returns the containing component. FMX.ListBox.TListBoxItem.GetParentComponent inherits from System.Classes.TComponent.GetParentComponent. All content below this line refers to System.Classes.TComponent.GetParentComponent. Returns the containing component. GetParentComponent returns a reference to the component that contains the current component, or nil if there is no container. Use HasParent to determine whether a component has a containing component. For example, a button on a panel on a form returns the panel, the panel returns the form, and the form returns nil.

Height

Height specifies the vertical size of the control (in dp). Use the Height property to read or change the height of the control.

Type:

float

HelpContext

Contains the numeric context ID that identifies the Help topic for the control. In case of a .chm Help file, you must symbolically map Context IDs of Help topics to numeric topic ID values in the [MAP] section of your project (.hhp) file. To enable Context ID-based context-sensitive Help for a control, set HelpType to htContext and set HelpContext to a numeric topic ID. A topic ID of 0 (default) means that no Help topic is provided for the control.

Type:

int

HelpKeyword

Contains the keyword string that identifies the Help topic for the control. To enable the keyword-based context-sensitive Help for a control, set the HelpType property to htKeyword and set HelpKeyword to a keyword string. No keyword (zero-length string, the default) means that no Help topic is provided for the control.

Type:

str

HelpType

Specifies whether the control’s context-sensitive Help topic is identified by a context ID or by keyword. If HelpType is htContext, the HelpContext property value identifies the control’s Help topic. If HelpType is htKeyword, the HelpKeyword property value identifies the control’s Help topic.

Type:

HelpType

HitTest

Enables the control to capture mouse events.

If you set HitTest to True, this control captures all mouse events. The example below shows the use of HitTest for an OnClick event. If you set HitTest to False, the mouse events will pass through this control, so that a control laid out behind this one receives the mouse events instead of this control. Note: The HitTest enables all mouse-related events, which also include the display of Hints and Hint-related events. For most controls, HitTest is True by default. However, this is not true for all the controls. For example, for TLabel and TPathLabel, HitTest is False by default; these two controls do not capture the mouse-related events unless you set HitTest to True.

Example of HitTest 1. On a form, place a TPanel component. 2. Inside the panel, place a TPathLabel component. 3. Implement the OnClick event for both the TPanel and the TPathLabel:

procedure TForm1.Panel1Click(Sender: TObject); begin

ShowMessage(‘OnClick event fired for TPanel’);

end;

procedure TForm1.PathLabel1Click(Sender: TObject); begin

ShowMessage(‘OnClick event fired for TPathLabel’);

end;

4. Set the TPathLabel HitTest property to False (this is the default setting). Run the application and click the label. The OnClick event is fired for the panel (not the label).

5. Set the TPathLabel HitTest property to True. Run the application and click the label. The OnClick event is fired for the TPathLabel.

Type:

bool

ImageIndex

Defines the zero-based index enumerating images in the Images list of images. If you use a non-existing ImageIndex value to access an image in the Images list, then no image is retrieved and no exception is raised. The usual default value is -1. Call ImagesChanged when ImageIndex is changed.

Type:

int

Images

Defines the reference to a TCustomImageList list of images to be used to draw images on the component. If the TCustomImageList list is empty, then Images is nil/null. Call ImagesChanged when Images is changed.

Type:

CustomImageList

Inflate()

Call this procedure to get and apply its style lookup.

IsChecked

Specifies whether the check box associated with the item is checked.

Type:

bool

IsSelected

Specifies whether the item is selected. If IsSelected is True, the item appears as selected inside its parent component.

Type:

bool

ItemData

Specifies various data that can be attached to a TListBoxItem in order to be shown in the list box. Use the ItemData property in order to attach various data to a list box item. This data can then be displayed in the list box.

ItemData has four sub-properties:

Accessory - lets you add to the selected list box item one of the following items: Checkmark icon Detail icon More icon No icon (this is the default) Bitmap - lets you add a bitmap image to your item. Detail - lets you add an additional text that describes your list box item. Text - allows you to change the text displayed on your list box item.

In the picture above, two list box items are present in the list:

The first one has a bitmap image, additional text description and no accessory icon. The second one has a bitmap image, additional text description and the Detail accessory icon.

Type:

ListBoxItemData

Locked

Specifies whether the control is locked at design time. A locked control prohibits to move the control at design time, all the other properties can be modified at design time. To lock the control, set Locked to True. By default, Locked is False, and the control can be modified at design time.

Type:

bool

Margins

Aligns the component to the margins points of other components. The Margins of a control are the distances (in pixels) from each edge (top, left, bottom, right) to another control within the same Parent or to the edge of its Parent. The Margins add space to the outer side of the control. It only applies for controls that do not use TAlignLayout None and the components are located to each other. If a margin is not 0, no other control will come closer to the control than the specified distance. If the distance from a Parent edge to the corresponding control edge is smaller than the specified Margins for that edge, the control is repositioned and resized, if necessary, to maintain the specified distance. If the Margins control has zero values, RAD Studio uses the default values (Left=4, Top=4, Right=4, Bottom=4). You can also set your own Margins values. It only applies to the IDE control’s guidelines, when you are dragging control. But if you use Align=Client (for example), it will use the specified values in Margins. The following image shows how Padding and Margins properties affect alignment, position, and size of controls.

Type:

Bounds

Opacity

Specifies the control opacity. Set Opacity to customize the transparency of the current control. Opacity takes values between 0 and 1. If Opacity is 1, the control is completely opaque; if it is 0, the control is completely transparent. The values over 1 are treated as 1, and the ones under 0 are treated as 0. Opacity applies to the control’s children.

Type:

float

Padding

Aligns the component to the padding points of other components. The Padding of a control specifies how close, in pixels, the control’s children can come to each of its edges (top, left, bottom, right). Padding adds space to the inner side of the control. The control’s children are repositioned and resized, if necessary, to maintain the Padding. If the Padding control has zero values, RAD Studio uses the default values (Left=4, Top=4, Right=4, Bottom=4). You can also set your own Padding values. The following image shows how Padding and Margins properties affect alignment, position, and size of controls.

Note: Padding constraints do not work for TScrollBox, TListBox, TTreeView, and TGrid based controls.

Type:

Bounds

ParentShowHint

If True, the value of the ShowHint property of this control inherits the value of the ShowHint property of the parent control. See Using Hints to Show Contextual Help in a FireMonkey Application - Enabling Hints for a Control for more information.

Type:

bool

PopupMenu

Specifies the context (pop-up) menu object. Use PopupMenu to set the context menu of the current control. The pop-up window is displayed when ShowContextMenu is called.

Type:

CustomPopupMenu

Position

Aligns the component to the position points of other components (Bounds points). Specifies the upper-left corner of the current control, relative to its parent. The Position can be affected by the Padding of its parent and the Margins of the control.

Type:

Position

Scale

Specifies the scale of the control. Set the Scale coordinates to specify the scale on each axis. The initial scale rate is 1 on each axis.

Note: Controls that have the Align or Anchors properties set can use a scale that is different from the default (1,1), so that controls align together even when they have a custom scale.

Type:

Position

Selectable

Embarcadero Technologies does not currently have any additional information.

Type:

bool

SetIsSelectedInternal(Value: bool, UserChange: bool) → None

Processes the selection of an item. Sets the value of the IsSelected property, triggers the selection animation and calls the ItemStateChanged method of the listbox selection controller. The UserChange specifies whether the selection is initiated by an user action (as opposed to by a code call).

Size

Specifies the vertical and horizontal size (Size.Height and Size.Width) of the control (in pixels). Use the Size property to read or change the size of the control.

Type:

ControlSize

StyleLookup

Specifies the name of the resource object to which the current TStyledControl is linked

StyleState

This property allows you to define the current state of style

StyledSettings

Defines the set of styled text representation properties whose values are loaded from the current style and cannot be changed manually. Text representation properties are used as parameters for drawing texts in controls. The StyledSettings property is used in FMX controls such as TButton, TSpeedButton, TCheckBox, and others. Styles, for example Metropolis UI styles, define the default values of the text representation properties like font name, font size, word-wrapping, and others. The TTextSettings class define properties keeping values of the FontColor, TextAlign, VertTextAlign, Trimming, WordWrap, and Font (TFont.Family, TFont.Size, TFont.Style) elements defining visual parameters of a text representation. StyledSettings can contain the Family, Size, Style, FontColor, and Other values defined in TStyledSetting. The “Relation between TStyledSetting constants and TTextSettings properties” table shows which of the TStyledSetting constants control the handling of these TTextSettings text representation properties. Keep in mind that the values of all styled text representation properties listed in the StyledSettings are taken from a style and cannot be changed manually. For example, if you set a new value of the FontColor property of a TTextControl control, then the real updating of the font color takes place only if the StyledSettings property of this control does not contain TStyledSetting.FontColor. For more details, see the example in Setting Text Parameters in FireMonkey. To switch OFF a font property for a control, select the control in the Form Designer. In the Object Inspector, expand the StyledSettings property. Clear the check mark before the property. For example, the following figure shows a TButton control with Size turned OFF (for Button1) and ON (for Button2):

With StyledSettings you can also use the DefaultStyledSettings constant that defines the values of the styled properties that are taken from a style by default. Remember that the HorzAlign and VertAlign text representation properties stored in the TextSettings property of a control correspond to the TextAlign and VertTextAlign properties of the control.

Type:

StyledSettings

TabOrder

Indicates the position of the control in its parent’s tab order. TabOrder is the order in which child controls are visited when the user presses the TAB key. The control with the TabOrder value of 0 is the control that has the focus when the form first appears. Initially, the tab order is always the order in which the controls were added to the form. The first control added to the form has a TabOrder value of 0, the second is 1, the third is 2, and so on. Change this by changing the TabOrder property. Each control has a unique tab-order value within its parent. Assigning TabOrder a value greater than the number of controls contained in the parent control moves the control to the end of the tab order. The control does not take on the assigned value of TabOrder, but instead is given the number that ensures that the control is the last in the tab order.

Type:

int

TabStop

Embarcadero Technologies does not currently have any additional information.

Type:

bool

Text

Specifies the text that will be rendered over the surface of this TTextControl object. Set the Text property to specify the text that will be displayed by this TTextControl. Text can be any string. If there are any effects already applied before changing the Text property, they will be preserved for the new text. Also, the surface of this TTextControl is repainted. In the Text property you can define an accelerator key. On Windows platforms, an accelerator key is shown as an underlined letter. To specify an accelerator key, precede an <accelerator_letter> with an ampersand & character. The letter after the ampersand appears underlined. For example, to set the S character as an accelerator key for a Save button, type &Save. On Windows platforms, accelerator keys enable the user to access controls pressing Alt+<accelerator_letter> key combination. When run on not Windows platforms, a single ampersand is simply stripped from the text. To show a single ampersand & character in a Text property specify doubled ampersand && characters.

Tip: If you specify a new text string that is exactly the same as the one already displayed, the effects will not be re-updated and this TTextControl object will not be repainted. Note: FMX.ExtCtrls.TPopupBox.Text is not a writable property in the same way as FMX.Controls.TTextControl.Text. The FMX.ExtCtrls.TPopupBox.Text property cannot be “any string”, but instead must be just one of the strings in the FMX.ExtCtrls.TPopupBox.Items property and, in this case, FMX.ExtCtrls.TPopupBox.ItemIndex is updated accordingly.

Type:

str

TextAlign

Specifies how the text will be displayed in terms of horizontal alignment. The TextAlign property specifies how the TTextControl object will display the text in terms of horizontal alignment. TextAlign can have one of the following values (defined in TTextAlign):

Center (default)–aligns the text on a horizontal axis, at the middle of the TTextControl object. Leading–aligns the text on a horizontal axis, at the leftmost position inside the TTextControl object. Trailing–aligns the text on a horizontal axis, at the rightmost position inside the TTextControl object. When you use text representation properties stored in ITextSettings.TextSettings, remember that TextAlign corresponds to HorzAlign.

Type:

TextAlign

TextSettings

Keeps the values of styled text representation properties that are set in the Object Inspector or programmatically. TextSettings references a TTextSettings type object that handles values of styled text representation properties that are set in the Object Inspector or programmatically. TextSettings references a TTextSettings type object, which handles styled text representation properties to be used for drawing texts in this control. TTextSettings type objects provide all styled text representation properties and methods to manage them. The styled text representation properties are FontColor, TextAlign, VertTextAlign, Trimming, WordWrap, and Font (TFont.Family, TFont.Size, and TFont.Style). TTextSettings objects provide both styled text representation properties, whose values are loaded from a style (specified in StyledSettings), so all other styled text representation properties, whose values can be set manually, and methods to manage these text representation properties. The text representation properties identified in StyledSettings are loaded from the style and cannot be set manually. Remember that the HorzAlign and VertAlign text representation properties stored in the TextSettings property of a control correspond to the TextAlign and VertTextAlign properties of the control.

Type:

TextSettings

Visible

Specifies whether the component appears onscreen. Use the Visible property to control the visibility of the control at run time. If Visible is True, the control appears. If Visible is False, the control is not visible.

Type:

bool

Width

Specifies the horizontal size of the control (in pixels). Use the Width property to read or change the width of the control.

Type:

float

WordWrap

Specifies whether the text inside the TTextControl object wraps when it is longer than the width of the control. Set WordWrap to True to allow the TTextControl control to display multiple lines of text. When WordWrap is True, text that is too long for the TTextControl object wraps at the right margin and continues in additional lines. Set WordWrap to False for the text to span onto a single line of the TTextControl. However, in this case, the text that is too long for TTextControl appears truncated. The default value for the WordWrap property is False.

Type:

bool
