I've got a simple question , i want to write a component that has two or more other components on it ( ie a text box or or a button and a image ) on it , should i be using a widget to do this ? or should i just write it directly ( i've written components for lazarus before but can only get one control on it ) the platform i will be using will be Win32 ( i want to convert some other components that i have that have more than one graphical control on them so far i havent been sucessfull doing it )
First of all you are using the wrong mail list. And this cause you have less answerts you could get.
Regards your question I suggest to look at TEditButton component - it consists of TEdit and TButton (with image). I don't see what do you mean by directly but there are somw ways to implement your task.
First - is to use TEdit and TButton internally. Second to use TCustomControl and implement drawing, mouse, keyboard handling yourself. The third way is to write your control using windows handles instead of TEdit and TButton directly (not desired way since it is not cross-platform). Everything is similar to how you would do thin in Delphi.
