Description:
TSecretPanel
implements the generic behavior introduced in TPanel and
publishes all properties inherited from TPanel. TSecretPanel also
allows lines of text (Lines property) to be scrolled vertically from bottom to top when
the Active
property is True. It
facilitates, amoung other things, the text display features to be
changed, such as alignment, font and style (lowered, raised, or
normal). You can also display graphic specified by Glyph
property during text
scrolling. When Active is
False the lines of text and image Glyph are invisible.
In other words, this panel acts as a credits panel, or a
scrolling text panel, where the text is scrolled simiar to movie
credits.
A good usage of this panel is an enhanced version of the about
box. Use the Glyph property
to set the bitmap and the GlyphLayout to set the left part of the panel. Set the Active property and Cycled property to true, and add the text of the
property lines.
