Introduction

ButtonBar is a Visual Component Library (VCL) for Delphi. It is a button bar that takes a list of strings as its captions and accepts an imagelist as its glyphs. It shows the currently selected button in down state. It can show buttons horizontally or vertically. It is an alternative to toolbar or speed buttons.

I forgot the reason why I created this component. It's created sometime ago, around 2003. But I think it may be useful for some people.

License

This library is released under Mozilla Public License. You can use it in your freeware, shareware or commercial softwares. You can send your modification to me, and if I decide to include it in the main distribution, I will add your name as a contributor. You can read full licensing information here.

Installation

There is no special process to install it on Delphi. Just open ButtonBarD7.dpk on Delphi IDE and press Install button. I use Delphi 7. If you use another Delphi version, you may have to make some minor changes.

The component will appear in priyatna.org tab.

Methods

Here is some methods and properties of the component:

• function GetIndexFromXY(const X, Y: Integer): Integer;
