  1. Hi Rodrigo!

    I’m doing some tests with the VCL Style and found your blog through a google search.

    I’m having two problems using the style:

    1) I use a DBNavigator changing the buttons, captions for other functions than actually save a record. Example:
    (DBNavigator.Controls[5] as TNavButton).Caption := ‘&Print’;
    (DBNavigator.Controls[5] as TNavButton).Glyph := ButtonPrint.Glyph;
    (DBNavigator.Controls[5] as TNavButton).Hint := ‘Print a report’;

    When I use the style the dbnavigator didn’t accpet my changes, keeping the glyphs of the styles.
    It’s possible to specify that a single component does not use the default style?

    2) When I use the style on the main form the main menu is unabled to click. How can I change that?

    Thank you for the attention.

    • Ronaldo the answers to your questions

      1) The glyphs used in the dbnavigator by the vcl styles are part of the image(s) defined inside of the vcl style. So you can change the glyphs directly, as workaround you have two options a) modify the image of the vcl style b) override the TNavButton.Paint method.

      2)I never experienced this behaviour, check the QC site of Embarcadero to check for a possibel bug.
