Silvio,

You can also use a ownerdraw ListBox.

Please review FWH\samples\ownerdra.prg

... los fonts de un menú para la propia aplicación y en caso de que un estilo como 2007 se use en el menu, lo que hace que todos los menuitems sean "ownerdraw", es decir, dibujados por la propia aplicación y no por Windows. Lo más sencillo es cambiar la configuración estandard en Windows para que ...

Marco,

As FWH uses an ownerdraw menu for 2007 style, it can be done. Windows standard menu does not allow it.

But the source code has to be changed: A new DATA would be required for bold, and the C source code has to be also changed. Its not a simple change.

Enrico, If the mdichild is not maximized then it works fine. It looks as a Windows bug when using all menuitems as ownerdraw, as FWH does not change the way the menu commands are processed :-( The erase of the icon is our fault as we paint the entire horizontal bar. We need to check ...

... en un listbox, pero solo me salen los stringso letras mas los bitmaps no, ya probe con los ejemplos del fwh7.40 y sale bien, si ese codigo del ownerdraw.prg lo copio a mi carpeta de trabajo, compilo y me sale igual solo los strings. Que puede estar pasando, uso FWH7.4, workshop4.5. Salu2 Francis

... en el repintado de ventanas no activas. Algo cambiará en los mensajes o en la prioridad del proceso repintado que no permite que los controles ownerdraw se terminen de repintar o algo así. Un saludo, Carlos.

Los btnbmp son "ownerdraw", es decir, no son nativos del sistema operativo, son pintados "a mano".

Para poner un boton con bitmap con estilo XP necesitas la clase BUTTONBMP

... Puedes variarles el tamaño desde "botón derecho en escritorio-propiedades-apariencia-opciones avanzadas" La única forma sería usar unos menus tipo ownerdraw, como los menus que se han publicado hace unos dias aqui con el look de office, y que al dibujarse usasen un font distinto del suyo

James,

You may review Class TSButton as Gale comments you.

Also, you may review FWH Class TButtonBmp to see how we change the standard painting of a button, though we don't use the ownerdraw style.

James,

Both ways will be ok. You can use a bitmap that shows a button -the way you want it-. Ownerdraw means that the control will not be painted by itself. You will be notified to paint it yourself.

I am trying to make a button that doesn't look like a button. I am wondering if I should just use a bitmap and then detect a click on it, or can the OWNERDRAW style be used to create a non-standard button? I don't really understand OWNERDRAW.

Any ideas?

James

Evans:

In tsButton you must use de tsbutton.ch before Fivewin.ch and
in the resource declaration the button must be OwnerDraw.
The tsbutton.lib must be before the FWH´s libs.

Please taste and tell me if everything go ok.
Sorry for my Indian English.

Best regards

Ruben Fernandez.

Dale, The Windows API does not natively support to display a bitmap on a menuitem, so we use "ownerdraw" menuitems to paint the bitmap and the text on it. Thats where the difference comes from. We may need to check if there is a message that provides a chance to paint ...
