I am looking for an implementation of TFlowPanel
(or similar) that will work with D5.
Basically I need the TFlowPanel
to work inside a TScrollBox
(with Vertical scroll bar), so the controls will wrap based on the Width of that TScrollBox
.
The images basically show what I need:
After resizing the controls are automatically repositioned:
With Vertical scroll bar:
Just a concept. No various FlowTypes, and no possibility to change the order of the controls. You could still move them around by changing the order in the DFM, I think, or by resetting the parent.
The panel sizes vertically to fit all controls. This means, that when you put it inside a scrollbox it will automatically work.
