TabBar whose style can be changed dynamically based on JvTabBar

Question

I have tried many different libraries, but none came. None of them can not be specified without introducing his own style in Painter. I need to be able to quickly and dynamically change the style tab.

In response, I showed my developments.

If someone has similar developments - write them in response.

Answer 1

I decided to upgrade the simplest of them: TJvTabBar of JVCL (latest revision: 13415)

Here is the result.

Before (default)

After

Style sources (All graphics imported from png files with transparency)

Easy apply any personal style to any JvTabBar

var tmp:TStrings;
begin    
  tmp:=TStringList.Create;
  tmp.Values['TOP_background']:=                ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName)+'\skins\default\tabs-TOP_background.png';
  tmp.Values['TOP_active_left_side']:=          ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName)+'\skins\default\tabs-TOP_active_left_side.png';
  tmp.Values['TOP_active_right_side']:=         ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName)+'\skins\default\tabs-TOP_active_right_side.png';
  tmp.Values['TOP_active_center']:=             ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName)+'\skins\default\tabs-TOP_active_center.png';

  tmp.Values['BOTTOM_background']:=             ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName)+'\skins\default\tabs-BOTTOM_background.png';
  tmp.Values['BOTTOM_active_left_side']:=       ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName)+'\skins\default\tabs-BOTTOM_active_left_side.png';
  tmp.Values['BOTTOM_active_right_side']:=      ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName)+'\skins\default\tabs-BOTTOM_active_right_side.png';
  tmp.Values['BOTTOM_active_center']:=          ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName)+'\skins\default\tabs-BOTTOM_active_center.png';

  tmp.Values['CLOSEBUTTON_normal']:=            ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName)+'\skins\default\tabs-CLOSEBUTTON_normal.png';
  tmp.Values['CLOSEBUTTON_selected']:=          ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName)+'\skins\default\tabs-CLOSEBUTTON_selected.png';
  tmp.Values['CLOSEBUTTON_disabled']:=          ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName)+'\skins\default\tabs-CLOSEBUTTON_disabled.png';
  tmp.Values['CLOSEBUTTON_closing']:=           ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName)+'\skins\default\tabs-CLOSEBUTTON_closing.png';
  tmp.Values['CLOSEBUTTON_modified']:=          ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName)+'\skins\default\tabs-CLOSEBUTTON_modified.png';
  tmp.Values['CLOSEBUTTON_closing_modified']:=  ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName)+'\skins\default\tabs-CLOSEBUTTON_closing_modified.png';

  JvTabBar1.StyleImages:=tmp;

  tmp.Values['BOTTOM_background']:=             ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName)+'\skins\default\MYMOD_tabs-BOTTOM_background.png';

  JvTabBar2.StyleImages:=tmp;

Main changes

• Added ability to specify their own style ( JvTabBar1.StyleImages )
• Added the ability to move the close button to the right ( JvTabBar1.CloseButtonRight: = true or false )
• Many fixes to the size and position of text / icons / buttons / scroll
