Notes
MinSize keeps the resized area from collapsing below a minimum.ResizeType chooses the look: rtDot draws a dotted grip, rtNone draws none.- With
AutoSnap on, dragging past the minimum snaps the pane closed.
OnMoved fires after the drag; use OnCanResize to veto a resize.

Properties of TMlSkinCustomControl 4
| 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. |
Transparent | Boolean | True | Transparent background: the control skips its own fill and shows the form background (image or color) instead. |
AutoInvalidate | Boolean | False | Repaints automatically when the content changes. Turn it on if property changes do not show up. |
EraseBackground | Boolean | False | Whether the background is erased before painting; worth toggling if the control flickers. |
Events of TMlSkinCustomControl 4
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|
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. |
OnBackgroundChanging | TMlBackgroundEvent | — | Fires just before the background changes, giving you a chance to adjust what is drawn. |
OnBackgroundChanged | TMlCustomDrawEvent | — | Fires after the background has been drawn, so you can paint on top of it. |
OnVisibleChanged | TNotifyEvent | — | Fires when the control is shown or hidden. |
