Tutorial for iWheel

In an attempt for the developers to easily overcome the first steps in using the iWheel we published the tutorial which makes you understand all the features of the product in an easy-to-comprehend way.

Take a look at it here.

TransparentControls are released!

A new product called TransparentControls has been released. It is a pack of 3 controls:

• TPictureBox - a transparent PictureBox control
• TCheckBox - a transparent CheckBox control
• TLabel - a transparent Label control

The TPictureBox is able to make use of an alpha channel and thus paint a transparent image. The standard PictureBox does not paint images with transparent pixels correctly. With the TPictureBox you can show the image properly, and you will get what you see on your desktop.

The BackColor of TLabel if set to Transparent, causes the background underneath the TLabel to be visible.

TCheckBox is not only able to paint itself so that its BackColor is transparent, but also custom images can be used as graphical representations of checked and unchecked state. That means your CheckBox is no longer limited to a tick, but can be changed to a cross or any other representation.

iWheel control has been released!

bee Mobile iWheel is a control which can display several lists of items as if these lists were painted on surface of cylinders (each cylinder containing one list). The user can choose an item using his finger (no stylus is needed, if the designer creates the cylinders wide enough) and get a feeling that he is rotating the cylinder.

iWheel control uses attractive graphical effects which makes it look like the date and time picker on iPhone. However, serving as a date and time picker is just one possible scenario of usage of iWheel. For more information click here.
