TAdvSmoothImageListBox

Note: All components from the TMS VLC UI Pack can now be found here.
TAdvSmoothImageListBox is a component which allows developers to create advanced image list boxes with animated thumbnails and versatile pickers. The list box should have a minimal impact on the system resources and hence, the thumbnail creation is automatic for minimal memory usage. Nevertheless, the background thread loading is done automatically and hence, ensures a high performance.
It is important to note that the items in the list box can include HTML formatted caption text, hyperlinks, images with zooming capabilities and can be arranged in columns or rows with either the mouse or keyboard scrolling. In case some images are too large and take too long to load, then you can replace them with a default image that is fully customizable with both text and image properties.
The library provides support not just for the image listing and pickers, but also for the general frame. Consequentially, you can enhance the list with a sleek and stylish footer and header with various images and other sophisticated fills. In addition, all elements embedded can feature gradient, texture as well as hatch fills with optional opacity control.
You will be happy to learn that the library supports a wide variety of images, including those with anti-aliased drawing, and built-in support for using standard pictures with alpha transparency.
