Chat with speech balloons

Post by Sergey Tkachenko »

A new demo is included in TRichView 17.2.

It is in <TRichView Dir>\TRichView\Demos\Assorted\CustomDraw\Callouts\
This demo uses a custom drawing event to draw speech balloons. Each message is a table having 1 row and 2 columns.

Avatars are "shared images" - only one copy of each avatar is created.
(Of course, this is not a real chat application; this demo just shows visual possibilities)

Unlike the original project, this demo uses some undocumented methods.
