GetStaticRect (Delphi)

Description

The following example overrides the TOpenPictureDialog.DoShow method and implements it here. DoShow calculates the preview rectangle based on the difference between the client area of the dialog and the static area of the standard controls.

Code

type
  TForm1 = class(TForm)
    Button1: TButton;
    Image1: TImage;
    procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
    procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
  private
    { Private declarations }
  public
    { Public declarations }
  end;
  MyOpenPictureDialog = class(TOpenPictureDialog)
  private
    FPicturePanel: TPanel; // Cannot use the private versions in TOpenPictureDialog.
    FPictureLabel: TLabel;
    FPreviewButton: TSpeedButton;
    FPaintPanel: TPanel;
    FImageCtrl: TImage;
    FSavedFilename: string;
  public
    { Public declarations }
  protected
    procedure DoShow; override;
  end;
var
  Form1: TForm1;
  OpenPictureDialog1: MyOpenPictureDialog;

implementation

{$R *.dfm}

procedure MyOpenPictureDialog.DoShow;
var
  PreviewRect, StaticRect: TRect;
begin
  FPicturePanel:= TPanel.Create(Self);
  FPictureLabel:= TLabel.Create(Self);
  FPreviewButton:= TSpeedButton.Create(Self);
  FPaintPanel:= TPanel.Create(Self);
  FImageCtrl:= TImage.Create(Self);
  // Set preview area to the entire dialog.
  GetClientRect(Handle, PreviewRect);
  StaticRect := GetStaticRect;
  // Move preview area to the right of static area.
  PreviewRect.Left := StaticRect.Left + (StaticRect.Right - StaticRect.Left);
  Inc(PreviewRect.Top, 4);
  FPicturePanel.BoundsRect := PreviewRect;
  FPreviewButton.Left := FPaintPanel.BoundsRect.Right - FPreviewButton.Width - 2;
  FImageCtrl.Picture := nil;
  FSavedFilename := '';
  FPaintPanel.Caption := '';
  FPicturePanel.ParentWindow := Handle;
//  TCommonDialog.DoShow;  // This is the one TOpenPictureDialog.DoShow calls.
end;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if OpenPictureDialog1.Execute then
      Image1.Picture.LoadFromFile(OpenPictureDialog1.FileName);
end;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  OpenPictureDialog1:= MyOpenPictureDialog.Create(Form1);
//  OpenPictureDialog1.Parent:= Form1;
//  OpenPictureDialog1.visible := false;
end;
