Change Log

• Version 0.1 2006/03/16 First beta release.

Dependencies / System Requirements

This component requires the MultiDoc Component.

It is supposed to work on all the Lazarus platforms without change.

Tested only in Win2k.

Installation

• Compile and install tmdbuttonsbar.lpk
• Open the example demo/demomultidoc.lpi

This example can be used as a skeleton for a new application (this is an "advanced" example of demo of MultiDoc).

Usage

At design time:

• On the application main form place a TMultiDoc.
• Create a child form with a main TPanel.
• Put all the object you want for the child to the panel, write the event, etc...
• Do not rely on some TForm event as this form is never show.
• Add an TMdButtonsBar.
• Set the HintMinimize, HintRestore, HintMaximize properties.
• Set the VisibleButtons property.
• Use events OnCloseClick, OnRestoreClick and OnMinimizeClick to handle the actions in MultiDoc (See Demo)
• If possible, change MultiDoc package to Register in Palete Page MultiDoc too :-)!

ToDo List

• Inactive Buttons;
• Property to change Style MDIButtons (KDE, WinXP...).
