About

ATListbox is OS-independant listbox control. It's made for dialog like Sublime Text's command list. If OnDrawItem is set, listbox is fully owner-drawn: you must not set items, just set ItemCount, ItemIndex.

Listbox doesn't get focus by click; to get focus on click set CanGetFocus=true (if focused, it handles keys Up/Down/PgUp/PgDn/Home/End, else you need to handle OnKeyDown in form and set listbox's ItemIndex by hand, which is boring).

Example

Let's create list:

uses Math, ATListbox; //package atflatcontrols_package.lpk

var
  b: TATListbox;

procedure TfmMain.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  b:= TATListbox.Create(Self);
  b.Parent:= Self;
  b.Align:= alClient;

  b.OnDrawItem:= @ListDraw;
  b.OnClick:= @ListClick;   //see example in github https://github.com/Alexey-T/ATFlatControls/blob/master/app/demo_listbox/unit1.pas

  b.Color:= $e0e0e0;
  b.ItemCount:= 21;
end;

Let's set OnDrawItem to this (simply paint "itemNN"):

procedure TfmMain.ListDraw(Sender: TObject; C: TCanvas; AIndex: integer;
  const ARect: TRect);
begin
  C.Brush.Color:= IfThen(AIndex=b.ItemIndex, clMedGray, b.Color);
  C.FillRect(ARect);

  C.Pen.Color:= clMedGray;
  C.Line(ARect.Left+2, ARect.Bottom-1, ARect.Right-2, ARect.Bottom-1);

  C.TextOut(ARect.Left+6, ARect.Top+2, 'item '+inttostr(AIndex));
end;
