TGraphicControl class

In unit Controls

TGraphicControl is the base class for all lightweight controls.

Declaration

pascal

TGraphicControl = class(TControl)

Inheritance

Descends from it: TBevel TCustomImage TCustomLabel TCustomShape TCustomSpeedButton TIndustrialBase TPaintBox TToolButton

Description

TGraphicControl supports simple lightweight controls that do not need the ability to accept keyboard input, and do not contain other controls. Since lightweight controls do not wrap GUI widgets, they use fewer resources than controls based on TWinControl. If you want to accept keyboard input, or need to support child controls, use a TCustomControl instead.

TGraphicControl provides a Canvas property for access to the control's drawing surface and a virtual Paint method and an OnPaint handler, called in response to paint requests received by the parent control.

Override the Paint method, or supply your own OnPaint handler, to do the actual drawing of the control.
