I just tested with Lazarus. That functionality I describe with Delphi,
doesn't work in Lazarus IDE.

ToolButton.ShowCaption is True by default, so you don't need to set it.

You only need to set ShowCaptions and Captions.

 compatibility but looking to their docs:

The idea is that some button captions can be hidden.

Re: [Lazarus] Large toolbar buttons

[Vojtěch Čihák]

Hi, 
 
thinking about it, if now someone wants display Caption, he must:
-set ToolBar.ShowCaptions to True
-set ToolButton.ShowCaption to True
-set some Caption
 
Isn't it to much? Isn't assigning any Caption enough? I thought it is because 
of Delphi compatibility but looking to their docs: 
http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/rad_studio/delphiAndcpp2009/HelpUpdate2/EN/html/delphivclwin32/!!MEMBERTYPE_Properties_ComCtrls_TToolButton.html
seems that Delphi has no ToolBar.ShowCaption, so it is Lazarus invention.
Is there any reason for this property? If no, I suggest to mark it as 
"deprecated".
 
Thanks

Hi,
 
there are two ShowCaption properties. One TToolButton.ShowCaption and the 
second TToolBar.ShowCaption.
Also, there is TToolBar.ButtonHeight when you need large buttons.

Ah, that was it :)

Thanks

I know summer is theoretically coming to the UK & The Netherlands, but
this may be going too far ;)

Apart from that, having some kind of wizard that provides this
functionality would be nice, yes.

Hi.

I'am creating an graphics control and I need Canvas to set control
Height. But I can draw (access to Canvas) only in OnPaint event.

How to solve this problem?

Thanks

You need to set height of control by calculating text height out of 
paint event ?  I'm using TBitmap for such measurements.

Create bitmap, assign control font to bmp canvas, measure.

No offense taken. 
On the contrary, I'm very glad to see that things improve, this is the main point !
