NewFiremonkey Slide Menu Component

Hi there,

I've created a new Facebook style drawer component which I've uploaded to GitHub so that others can take a look (and maybe give feedback :-) )

The standard Multiview component didn't really fit my needs.. it seemed a bit clunky to me and I thought their must be a simpler way to add slide-out menus to apps.

So this is my take on the drawer component. TksSlideMenu features include...

- inherits from non-visual tcomponent so can be easily dropped onto any form without affecting existing layouts.
- add menu items with images with a single call
- bitmap/screen caching for optimal sliding/animation performance
- options for a menu header with title and image
- settings for fonts, colours etc
- property to specify whether the menu should slide in from the left of the screen, or the right of the screen
- choice of animations (push, overlap and reveal)

You can view an image of the component here...

GitHub source code and demo...

Still more to do, need to make the menu items scrollable rather than fixed (looking at this today) but I think it's a nice, clean way of implementing menus in your apps.

Tested with Delphi XE7 and XE8 on Windows and iOS. Hopefully Android should be fine also but haven't got around to testing this just yet.

Any thoughts, suggestions, feedback, please let me know.

Kind regards,
Graham

Yeah, Go for it. I’ve got apps developed on 10.2 in the App Store and Play store which use my components so it was really just a post to let the initial poster that his big report was a bit “lacking” ;-)

Software development is full of very challenging problems to solve. Reading a Readme file on GitHub which has a large font is not one of them.

In Delphi 10.2 I have a problem with the SlideMenu when I have no items it crashes when clicking somewhere
Also the content of the form moves up when the menu slides in and moves back into places when closing the menu

Hi Helge,

The slide menu component is really only developed for mobile platforms where it should work well.

I developed the components to develop mobile apps with so they may not work 100% correctly for Windows Fmx apps.

If you want help, you should provide more detail about what the problem actually is. So far, all you've said amounts
to: "it doesn't work". That helps absolutely no-one; including yourself.
