Hello,
In newer version of IE we have got quite a few different types of layers like for example: Image Layer, Shape Layer, Text layer, etc. And this is making our lives as developers easier.
But I have a need to define/create a Fill Layers which could be Solid, Gradient, Texture, etc.
How can I do this?
TIA

Hi Yogi
A TIEShapeLayer can already by filled by solid or gradient colors. At this time, texture fills are not supported but I have added it to the to-do list.

Hello Nigel,
At this time, texture fills are not supported but I have added it to the to-do list.
Thanks for this. Hope to see this added to upcoming update.
But in case of Shape Layer we have to have a shape. Without shape I will not be able to fill a layer with color. And the color will be shown only as per the shape and cannot exist outside the shape.
On second thought you can add a new feature of Vector Mask based on the same working ideology of Shape layer! What you may have to work is to give a way by which a user can interactively edit a shape (or call it path).
Actually what I want to achieve is on layer.
For this what you can do is allow a use to define a Layer Type which is custom and this layer should behave just like Owner Drawn feature provided in many standard VLC controls like Grid.
TIA

Hi Yogi
Yes, it would be good to be able to mark a shape as a layer, so it could be editable. At present, you need to convert a shape layer to an image layer to use it as a mask.
This is shown in the demo:
demos\LayerEditing\LayerMask\LayerMask.dpr
I'll look at this for a coming version.
