Overview of the FMX components

TIconFontsImageListFMX component

TIconFontsImageListFMX is an FMX component for Delphi derived from TCustomImageList component, that auto-build icons using a collection of TIconFontsSourceItem (derived from TCustomSourceItem) that uses a special TIconFontMultiResBitmap (derived from TMultiResBitmap) to build bitmaps using Icon Fonts.

The Component is available at "Ethea" page, after installing the run-time and design-time Packages located in \Packages\DXXX\IconFontsImageListFMX.dpk and \Packages\DXXX\dclIconFontsImageListFMX.dpk

Into component TIconFontsImageListFMX you can define:

  • AutoSizeBitmaps (true/false) to obtain "dynamic" Bitmaps scaled for the requested components. If AutoSizeBitmaps is false it's possibile to build "static" Bitmaps with different Scale factors, as a normal ImageList that uses bitmap files.

At TIconFontsSourceItem level you can define, for each source item of then ImageList:

  • FontName
  • FontColor
  • Opacity
  • FontIconDec: Character value in decimal (stored into dfm)
  • Character: Character value (not stored)
  • FontIconHex: Character value in hexadecimal (not stored)
  • IconName (optional)

Implicit Methods:

Image Editor

Actually there isn't a specific component editor: to define the IconFontImageList properties you must use the Object Inspector and the Structure Editor to Add TIconFontsSourceItem items, TIconFontMultiResBitmap and TIconFontBitmapItem items.

TIconFontsImageFMX component

TIconFontsImageFMX is an FMX component for Delphi derived from TImage component, that auto-build icon using a collection a TIconFontFixedMultiResBitmap (derived from TFixedMultiResBitmap) to build bitmaps for different scale using Icon Fonts.

At TIconFontsImageListFMX component level you don't have to set nothing.

At TIconFontFixedBitmapItem level you can define, for each Scale:

  • FontName
  • FontColor
  • Opacity
  • FontIconDec: Character value in decimal (stored into dfm)
  • Character: Character value (not stored)
  • FontIconHex: Character value in hexadecimal (not stored)
  • Size
  • IconName (optional)

Implicit Methods:

Image Editor

Actually there isn't a specific component editor: to define the IconFontImage properties: you must use the object inspector and the Structure Editor to define the TIconFontFixedMultiResBitmap and the TIconFontFixedBitmapItem items.
