TAdvFocusHelper

Note: All components from the TMS VLC UI Pack can now be found here.

In the eventuality that you create an app that includes forms where users need to fill in various information, then you may want to consider using focus indicators so that they know what they are missing, in case the query or a function does not react.

Generally speaking, these indicators are visual markers that show the element that users should focus on. To put it simply, thanks to these elements you can highlight the aspects that are of interest and which should be visible. Among the most common uses for the markers include buttons, tooltips, links or form fields.

TAdvFocusHelper is a component which allows developers to design applications with focus indications. The focus indicator comes in the macOS style and includes a single component for which you can customize the size, blur and focus color so that it matches the one of the application's interface. If necessary, you can replace or enhance the classical text with an additional focus indicator image.

Even though it is a single component, you will be happy to learn that it can appear with a personalized appearance for each form included. You can configure it to skip certain forms and simply be present where it is more needed.
