Tips and Frequently Asked Questions

 Creating overlappable background items


Normally, when adding a background item, this is by default a non overlappable item. Setting the Background property to true automatically also sets the AllowOverlap property to false. A background item cannot be selected, moved or sized. Background items are normally used to indicate fixed time allocations, such as a time for lunch:

It can be convenient though to override this behaviour and create background items that only give a visual hint, cannot be selected or edited and over which other items can be positioned. To create such items, it is sufficient to reset the AllowOverlap property back to true after settting the Background property to true. (Note that this is not possible at design time) The code for this is: 

with Planner1.CreateItemAtSelection do
begin
  Background := True;
  // reset AllowOverlap to create overlapable background item
  AllowOverlap := True;
  Text.Text := '

This is background that can be ' +
    'overlapped !';
  Alignment := taCenter;
  Color := clYellow;
end;
The yellow item created as such can be overlapped with normal TPlannerItem and its only function is a visual hint as background in the planner grid:

What our customers say

Thank you Mr. Fierens for your time and assistance. Just want to say your VCL Pack is fabulous.

- Mark Mihevc

Thank you for this superb tool collection!

- Henning Swiboda

Thanks for the effort to create the VCL grid goodies ! These chunks of outcome-oriented teaching-material are very useful. It's unbelievable how powerful the grid is when one knows how to unveil it's countless options...

- Feichtenschlager Thomas

I don''t know how I could have created and managed so many projects without the AdvStringGrid! And although there is already so much functionality in it I''m using my own derived version with automatic column widths, enhanced export to Excel (including text colors, backround colors, comments, merged cells and more), the possibility to fill in static data at design time and more. This often allows me to build a new tool in hours instead of days! Support is also great! Thanks.
