Tips and Frequently Asked Questions

 Adding / removing items


The poly list has a polymorph collection of TCustomItem classes. Each descending class inherits all properties and can also be added to the collection. To access the properties specifically for a descending item, the item must be added to the list and typecasted to the correct class to gain access to the properties.

Adding an item:
with TTextItem(AdvPolyList1.AddItem(TTextItem)) do
begin
  Caption := 'This is a sample';
end;

Inserting an item at a specific position in the collection:
with TTextItem(AdvPolyList1.InsertItem(0, TTextItem)) do
begin
  Caption := 'This is a sample';
end;

Removing an item at a specific position:
AdvPolyList1.RemoveItem(0);

To compile the project, the unit must manually be added to the uses list. In this case the unit is GDIPTextItem which contains the TTextItem class.

The rule for adding the correct unit is:
(T)CustomItem -> (GDIP)CustomItem
Class -> Unit

When you are not sure what unit you must add to compile the project, you can always add the item of choice at designtime, so the unit is automatically added to the uses list.

What our customers say

Thank you Mr. Fierens for your time and assistance. Just want to say your VCL Pack is fabulous.

- Mark Mihevc

Thank you for this superb tool collection!

- Henning Swiboda

Thanks for the effort to create the VCL grid goodies ! These chunks of outcome-oriented teaching-material are very useful. It's unbelievable how powerful the grid is when one knows how to unveil it's countless options...

- Feichtenschlager Thomas

I don''t know how I could have created and managed so many projects without the AdvStringGrid! And although there is already so much functionality in it I''m using my own derived version with automatic column widths, enhanced export to Excel (including text colors, backround colors, comments, merged cells and more), the possibility to fill in static data at design time and more. This often allows me to build a new tool in hours instead of days! Support is also great! Thanks.

Keep up the great work...Every new release of TMS Component Pack is like Xmas. Top quality components! :-)
