TMlSkinNCLabel

Notes

• Light adds a glow around the text, which helps on dark title bars.
• Long text is ellipsized according to EllipsisPosition, and MaxWidth caps the width.

Properties 7

Name	Type	Default	Description
Light	TMlLightClass	—	Text glow: switch it on, then set the glow color and blur radius. It makes text readable on dark backgrounds.
EllipsisPosition	TEllipsisPosition	epNone	Where the ellipsis goes when the text is too long: epEndEllipsis at the end, epPathEllipsis in the middle (good for paths), epWordEllipsis at a word boundary, epNone none.
Caption	string	—	The text to display.
Font	TFont	—	Text font.
CaptureMouse	Boolean	True	Whether the label receives mouse events. Turn it off and the mouse passes through to the title bar, so dragging over the text still moves the form.
RenderText	Boolean	False	Whether the text is painted. Turning it off keeps the control in place but draws nothing, which is handy for temporarily hiding it.
MaxWidth	Integer	0	Maximum text width in pixels; beyond it the text is ellipsized according to EllipsisPosition.

Properties of TMlSkinNCCtrlBase 6

Name	Type	Default	Description
About	TMlAboutInfo	—	A design-time property: double-clicking it in the Object Inspector opens the MLSkin about box with the component version. It has no effect at run time and is not stored in the .dfm.
PutSide	TSideKind	skdTop	Which edge of the non-client area the control sits on: skdTop, skdBottom, skdLeft or skdRight.
Tag	Integer	0	A spare integer for your own bookkeeping; the component itself does not use it.
Pos	TNCCtrlPos	—	Position along that edge: an alignment plus X/Y offsets. With UseDefault on, the default layout is used.
Hint	string	—	Tooltip text shown when the mouse rests on the control.
Visible	Boolean	True	Whether the control is visible.

Events of TMlSkinNCCtrlBase 5

Name	Type	Default	Description
OnLMouseDown	TNotifyEvent	—	Fires when the left mouse button goes down on the control.
OnLMouseUp	TNotifyEvent	—	Fires when the left mouse button is released on the control.
OnMouseEnter	TNotifyEvent	—	Fires when the mouse enters the control.
OnMouseLeave	TNotifyEvent	—	Fires when the mouse leaves the control.
OnDPIChanged	TMlDPIChangedEvent	—	Fires when the screen DPI changes, for example when the window moves to a monitor with a different scaling — a good place to re-adjust anything you draw yourself.

Only the properties and events MLSkin adds are listed here. Standard VCL properties such as Align, Anchors, Font and OnClick are available too and behave exactly as on the stock controls.
