 TTree­List­View

GPL
This component is a mix between TTreeView and TListView and can paint a tree whose nodes have additional information sorted in columns.
It has these features:
  • It can show a tree together with columns
  • The lines can be drawn striped, so lines alternate their background color.
  • It can paint dividing lines between rows and columns.
  • Each node can get an icon and the user can collapse and expand it.
  • The lines can be sorted automatically
  • The entries of the columns can be left-aligned, right-aligned or centered
  • The user can move the columns without a change of the indices(only in Lazarus)
  • Contains a Mozilla like search bar
  • It is independent of the Windows Common Controls
  • It should work on every OS supported by Lazarus (only Debian and Windows tested)
  • Works with Delphi (tested with D4 and in an old version also BDS2006) and Lazarus
  • There is an example and HTML documentation
  • There is a design time package for Delphi and for Lazarus.

 TSearch­Bar

GPL
This SearchBar is similar to those used by Mozilla. It is automatically placed on the bottom of the parenting form where the user can insert it search text (with incremental search). Also, there are forward/back/highlight buttons which can be hidden if you don't need them, as well as a combobox which can be used to select a search scope.
Of course, you have to implement the actual search yourself, but this control makes that much easier, because it maps all user interactions to a single event, so you can't forget a possible interaction. (There are a lot of search bars around where the people forgot to handle things like escape or shift+enter...). Above you can see a part of this search bar in the TTreeListView-class.

 Custom Controls

BSD
These components consist of a new button, edit, scrollbar, panel, and a global manager component. The manager class is used to control the visual appearance (=colors) of the actual controls. The appearance and behavior of them are fully written in Delphi and do not depend on Windows, but it tries to mimic the native controls. Notice that the property names are in German.

 TBeni­Grad­Gauge

MPL, GPL
2001
This component creates a color gradient like TBeniGrad, but it draws only a part of it, and the remnant is filled out with a single color, so it can be used as a gauge.
