TAdvPanelStyler

VCL TMS VCL UI Pack

Why does TAdvPanelStyler change height of Caption and StatusBar? He should not.

2

TAdvPanelStyler, when connected controls the appearance of the panel. The caption height is configurable under TAdvPanelStyler.Caption and thus controls the caption height.

I don't know if I understand correctly.
At design time, I have a height of 30. After assigning Styler (programmatically), the height is 20.

Let me put it this way



procedure TAppearance.CarejstAdvPanel(const AComp: TjstAdvPanel);
var
  iCaptionHeight, iStatusBarHeight: Integer;
  bCanSize: Boolean;
begin
  AComp.ParentDoubleBuffered := True;
  bCanSize := AComp.CanSize;
  iCaptionHeight := AComp.Caption.Height;
  iStatusBarHeight := AComp.StatusBar.Height;
  AComp.ParentColor := False;
  AComp.ParentBackground := False;
  AComp.ParentFont := True;
  SupObjJson.ReadjstPanel(AComp);
  AComp.CanSize := bCanSize;


  if not AComp.StaticColor then
    AComp.Styler := FTSMCentre.AdvPanelStyler;


  AComp.Caption.Height := iCaptionHeight;
  AComp.StatusBar.Height := iStatusBarHeight;
end;

Again, if you use the TAdvPanelStyler, use TAdvPanelStyler.Settings.Caption.Height

Now I understand.

It won't leave me alone. If I set something in design time (Caption, StatusBar height, etc.), each styler should honor it and keep the value I entered. Otherwise I have to do extra work.
Especially it will surprise a man and he does not know what he has ruined again.
It is my opinion and you do not have to identify/cannot with it.

The specification is that when you use a styler, the styler controls the look (consistently for all panels for which it is used). If you do not want the styler to control the look, don't use a styler and set everything directly at the level of the panel. 
Please accept this as my final answer.
