Skia for Delphi: drawing Lottie animation in CustomDraw event of TVirtualStringTree (VCL)

[mvisser 0]

Hey everyone 🙂

 

I've been looking into the Skia for Delphi library and it looks pretty nifty! There's one thing, however, I cannot figure out: I want to draw a Lottie animation in a CustomDraw-event of the TVirtualStringTree component. This CustomDraw-event, of course, works with a regular VCL TCanvas and I can't figure out how to achieve this.

 

Bit of context: the TVirtualStringTree will be populate with nodes which represent background tasks. Depending on the status of a background task, the node will display a static image when the task is idle or a Lottie animation for as long as the task is busy.

 

Any pointers are greatly appreciated!
