TcxButton - Add the capability to mimic the look & feel of buttons with drop-down menus found in Microsoft Office 2010 (or later)

created 15 years ago

Hi,
To have a consistent image across the entire application the TcxButton with Kind=cxbkDropDownButton should have an option to paint like TdxBarLargeButton with ButtonStyle=bsDropdown.
The TdxBarLargeButton paint the dropdown button at the bottom but TcxButton paint it like classic windows.
It would be nice if it also paints it at the bottom.

We have implemented the functionality described in this ticket. It will be included in our next update(s).

Please check back and leave a comment to this response to let us know whether or not this solution addresses your concerns.

Additional information:

With VCL 13.1, you can switch a TcxButton control's Kind property to cxbkOfficeDropDown to apply the look & feel of buttons with drop-down menus found in Microsoft Office 2010 (or later). Use the Description property to provide a button description, which will be displayed under the caption. If skins are applied, you can customize the description text color via the DescriptionTextColor additional property of the Common.Button skin element. In the Office2010~ and Office2013White (see Port the "Office 2013" skin from the Windows Forms Skinning Library for details) skins, this property is initialized with a skin-specific color. Otherwise, the description is painted using the caption color.
