TiPlotComponent.EditorFormStyle

TiPlotComponent

Specifies the Window Display style of the Plot Component Runtime Property Editor.

type TiPlotFormStyle = (ipfsModal, ipfsStayOnTop);

property EditorFormStyle : TiPlotFormStyle;

Description

Use EditorFormStyle to get or set the Window Display style of the Plot Component Runtime Property Editor.

When ipfsModal is used, code that relies on WndProc messages will not function until the runtime property editor is closed. The runtime property editor will be displayed on top of your application only, and not on top of other application windows.

When ipfsStayOnTop is used, code that relies on WndProc messages will continue to function. However, the runtime property editor will be displayed on top of all Windows, including other applications.

Setting this property to ipfsStayOnTop is useful in Visual Basic where you want your application to continue executing while the runtime property editor is open.

These are the possible values:

Value
Meaning
ipfsModal
Used to show the runtime property editor as a modal form. A modal form is one where the application can't continue to run until the form is closed. Thus, when using the runtime property editor, code does not run in your application until the runtime property editor form closes.
ipfsStayOnTop
The runtime property editor remains on top of the desktop and of other forms in the project, except any others that also have FormStyle set to fsStayOnTop. Code in your application continues to execute even whilte the form is open.

Example

Delphi

iComponent.EditorFormStyle := ipfsStayOnTop;

C++ Builder

iComponent->EditorFormStyle = ipfsStayOnTop;
