Any thoughts on this?

I have discovered that this only happens if the control has a hint that is displayed.

I was wondering why the TNxButton6 component doesn't have a text alignment guide like other buttons.

In this example, it is easy to align the label correctly because of the text alignment guide:

With the TNxButton 6, there is no text alignment guide, making it a bit of guesswork to align the text correctly:

It seems to be intermittent.

Hi Boki,

This may be just a property I haven't set right.  When I click on the down-arrow button of the combobox, the drop-down list drops down and then closes immediately.  I want to be able to have it stay open so I can go through the list.

When the list is open in the TNxComboBox6 control, the arrow keys can be used to scroll through the list, and the mouse can be used to drag the scrollbar, but the mousewheel doesn't scroll through the list.

Hi Boki,

I noticed that you don't have a menu button.  Do you have any plans on making one?

Hi Boki,

This will make things complicated so it may not be worth the time doing it, but my suggestion is to add an optional Snooze button to notifications with perhaps a selectable time delay.

The TUxNotificationsManager may not be designed to handle it so i could be to much to ask.

Anyway, it's just a thought.

Hi Boki,

Never mind.  The reminders are stored in a database, so when the user clicks close I'll just disable the reminder in the database.

Hi Boki,

I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do this but I get a List Index Out of Bounds (-1) error when I do.
 

procedure TfrmMain.ReminderClosed(Sender: TObject);
var
   ReminderIndex, NotificationsIndex, i: integer;
   Reminder: TUxNotificationControl;
   ReminderText: string;
begin
   // Get the reminder that has closed.
   ReminderText := TUxNotificationControl(Sender).Text;

   // This is not an AutoClose reminder so we can remove it from the list of reminders.
   if not TUxNotificationControl(Sender).AutoClose then
   begin
      // Find a match for this reminder
      for i:= (NotificationControls.Count - 1) downto 0 do
      begin
         Reminder := TUxNotificationControl(NotificationControls[i]);

         if SameText(Reminder.Text, ReminderText) then
         begin
            NotificationsIndex := NotificationControls.IndexOf(Pointer(Reminder));

            NotificationControls.Delete(NotificationsIndex);

            Break;
         end;
      end;
   end;
end;

The error occurs here in the UxControls6.pas unit, on the line shown in the attached image.  It's probably something I'm doing wrong.

Hi Boki,

Never mind, I worked it out.  In my event handler I can check which notification it is and whether or not it's set to AutoClose.

   CodeSite.Send('TUxNotificationControl(Sender).Text', TUxNotificationControl(Sender).Text);

   if TUxNotificationControl(Sender).AutoClose then
   begin

   end
   else
   begin

   end;

Thanks Boki.

I've hooked onto the TUxNotificationControl OnClose event, but there's no way to tell if the notification has been closed manually or autoclosed.

Is there code I can add to check that?

The reason for this is, if a notification is autoclosed, then I want it to appear again as the user may not be on their computer when the notification appears.  But if the user closes it manually, then it would become annoying for them if the notification kept popping up.

The plan is to delete the notification from the TList if the user manually clicks the close button.

What do you think?

Hello Steve,

 

From the next version you will be able to find published UxControls6.NotificationControls (TList) variable. There you can find all currently open pop-ups.

Has this version been released, or is it still in dev?

Hi Boki,

You might have missed this one.

That was fast!

Hello Steve,

Hi Boki,

That is brilliant!  Thank you.

Hello,

 

Unfortunately it's not possible to check if a specific popup is open, but I can add it. I will also try to add an event for OnClose for the popup.

Thanks Boki, that would be awesome. 

In the meantime, I got around it by adding the popup text to a TStringList and then checking to see if it's in the list.  I can't get around the OnClose event though.

Hi Boki,

Is there any way to change the fonts, sizes and colours of the text for the TUxNotificationsManager control?  The text can be a bit hard to read.

Is there also a way to detect if a reminder has been closed using the Close button?

<bump>

Hi Boki,

Is there any way to detect if a popup is already showing?

Let me explain.

If AutoClose is set to False, and a notification popup with the title of "Meeting" is showing, is there a way I can detect that this popup is already showing so I don't show the same popup again?

Hello Steve,

 

It seems that I made a mistake with the date. It’s the first one at the list, and I will fix the date now.

 

Please sorry for this mistake.

Hi Boki,

No problem.

Hi Boki,

The home page of your website says that NextSuite v6.12 has been released, but when I check my downloads it isn't listed (please see attached file).
