Question

The web page http://www.codegear.com/en/products/bds2006 starts with a list which includes this line:

  • Ensure visual consistency with customizable VCL designer guidelines.

Is this related to the 'laser-line' guidelines? How can these guidelines be 'customized'?

Edit: This page gives additional information about this feature.

Was it helpful?

Solution

They could mean that they are customizable by component writers. I think the only end user customization is to turn them on or off.

OTHER TIPS

This has more to do with the fact that a control can now have "padding" and "margins" which would increase the guideline as it is increased. The guidelines now react to these properties.

Yup, those are them.

By "customizable", I wonder if they mean that they honour each control's margin settings? I'm not sure if you can change their behaviour otherwise (aside from turning them on or off).
