TButton : change backgroundcolor

[weabow 6]

Hi there,

I've now spend somme hours to try to change the Background Color of a TButton, or TSpeedButton, at run time. But no way !

 

An idea ?

TButton is a wrapper around a Windows control so doesn't natively support a custom color. To accomplish this, you could use TRzButton (from KSVC) and disable the ThemeAware property, then set its Color property.

That is true only if its ControlType property is set to Platform. The default is Styled instead, in which case it is not a native Windows control.

Good point; I often forget to look at which group the message is in.

Thanks a lot. I'de like to have a class inheriting from TButton, under FMX Crossplatform.

 

How may I set the controltype in this case ?

Embarcadero posted a blog article about that for TEdit, but the same approach should work for a TButton as well:

It is just a property like any other.  What is stopping you from setting it?
