TSRVEditHintsEvent = procedure (Sender: TSRVEditControl;
Text: TRVUnicodeString; EditHints: TRVStringList;
var ItemIndex : Integer) of object;
TFormHintsClose = procedure(Sender: TObject;
FormWidth, FormHeight: Integer;
var NewText: TRVUnicodeString) of object;
where TRVStringList is a string list that contains Unicode string in all versions of Delphi (for Delphi 2009+, it contains UnicodeString items; for older versions of Delphi, it contains UTF-8 strings).
DisplayHints displays a list of hints (suggestions).
BeginHintsUpdate, EndHintsUpdate blocks/unblocks hints (suggestions) showing.
See also the methods inherited from TCustomSRVEdit.
A list of suggestions can be displayed on editing or by the method ShowHints. This feature can be temporary blocked using BeginHintsUpdate/EndHintsUpdate.
Suggestions are requested in the event OnEditHints. In this event, you can fill a list of suggestions (EditHints) for the Text, and specify the Index of item to highlight initially.
A height of this list is defined in DropDownHints property.
When a list of suggestions is closed, OnCloseHints event occurs. The parameter NewText contains the chosen suggestion (it is empty if canceled).
If skins are not defined:
The border around the editor has width defined in DisabledBorderWidth, EnabledBorderWidth, MouseInBorderWidth, FocusedBorderWidth properties. When auto-sizing the editor, it is assumed that the border width is equal to EnabledBorderWidth.
A border color depends on the editors state (normal, disabled, under the mouse pointer, focused) and SRVControlStyle: TSRVControlStyle property. If it is equal to srvcsSimple, colors are defined by RVControlsPainter (see the TRichView manual). If it is equal to srvcsClassic, colors are defined in EnabledBorderColor, DisabledBorderColor, MouseInBorderColor, FocusedBorderColor properties.
If SkinManager is assigned:
•the control is drawn using SkinManager.CurrentSkin.BoxSchemes[EditSkinSchemeIndex];
•a list of hints (suggestions) is drawn using SkinManager.CurrentSkin.BoxSchemes[SkinSchemeIndex];
•each item in this list is drawn using SkinManager.CurrentSkin.BoxSchemes[ItemSkinSchemeIndex];
•a scrollbar of this list is drawn using SkinManager.CurrentSkin.VerticalScrollBarSchemes[ScrollBarSkinSchemeIndex].
•font is defined in SkinManager.CurrentSkin.Fonts[SkinFontIndex].
