TCurvyEdit issues / problems / suggestions

Hi,


Just wanted to pass on some issues we are having with the TCurvyEdit component. We are trying to used that for a search box like you can find in Google Chrome, but we came to the following conclusions :

  • The Text isn't centered vertically in the component when the componet is higher than the default height (24 pixels).
  • The Font settings arn't applied to the EmptyText. Which means I can pick a bigger font, and if the edit box has a text value it gets displayed in the correct font, but when I remove the contents of the edit then de EditText gets painted in the default font.
  • The TextHint porperty seems to work nicely with the correct font, but sadly it only gets used at design time and not at runtime.
  • Having both the EmptyText and TextHint is quite confusing. I think the default Delphi one is TextHint, so why not switch to that one.
  • No documentation / help on those components
  • No samples neither
The first two issues are really annoying in our application, so I hope they can get fixed.


Regards,



Stefaan
