xBrowse colour

[anserkk]

Dear Friends,

Is there any trick to fill a colour in the area where Data is not available.

A picture is worth thousand words
Please see the picture.I need a colour to be filled in the area marked in Red Arrow


It would be fine if the empty area can be filled with with the Alternative colours which I have used, and if that is not possible then fill it with any colour.

Regards

Hello Anserkk,

simply define a Brush as a xBrowse-background.
You are using alternated Row-Colors, ( Blue and Light-Blue ).
The Brush < Sky.bmp > will be a good looking solution.
You can find it in the FWH-Bitmap-directory.
Attention !
-------------
!!! Using a BRUSH, You will only have one Color for the selected Row !!!
Maybe I can find a solution, to keep the Alternated-Row-colors.

Code: Select all  Expand view


// Use a BMP-Brush
//---------------------
DEFINE BRUSH oBrush FILENAME "Sky.bmp"
oBrw:SetBackGround( oBrush )
RELEASE BRUSH oBrush

Hello Anserkk,

Here You have a Background-Function for xBrowse :

Code: Select all  Expand view


// Your Browser !!!!
.......
.......
ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED ;
ON INIT XBRW_BRUSH(oLbx, 3)

RETURN NIL

// ----------------------------------

FUNCTION XBRW_BRUSH(oLbx, nStyle)
LOCAL oBrush

// define any STYLES You need !!!!
// --------------------------------------

IF nStyle = 1
   // Color
   // ---------
   DEFINE BRUSH oBrush COLOR 16513973
ENDIF

IF nStyle = 2
   // Style => BRICKS, BORLAND, TILED ......
   // -----------------------------------------------
   DEFINE BRUSH oBrush STYLE BORLAND
ENDIF

IF nSTYLE = 3
   // Image-Brush
   // -----------------
   DEFINE BRUSH oBrush FILENAME "SKY3.bmp"
ENDIF

// Alternated Row-Colors doesn't work with style 1 - 3
// ----------------------------------------------------------
aClrCol := { { 0, 16513973 }, { 0, 16644833 } }
oLbx:bClrStd := { || aClrCol[ oLbx:KeyNo % 2 + 1 ] }

// Up from FWH 9.01, You can use a Image-adjusted-BMP
// ----------------------------------------------------------------

oLbx:SetBackGround( oBrush )
RELEASE BRUSH oBrush
oLbx:Refresh()

RETURN( NIL )



You can use my xBrowse-Tools, to test Brushes and Colors for xBrowse.
For the Background with Alternated-Row-Colors, I will do some tests

Dear Mr.Uwe,

Thank you for the Function XBRW_BRUSH(oBrwMenu, 2)

I tried it. As you said, alternative colours (Pyjama Effect) is not possible when BRUSH is used as background. So sad

Hello Anser,

I think, it is not a real problem,
After the browser is filled with data, You don't notice that anymore.
The < row-color-change > works like a brush.
To have this effect on a image- or style- background, wouln't make sense,
because in this case, You don't see the background anymore.
Did You try out the browser-tools ?.
Maybe it helps You a bit with the xBrowse-design.

Regards
Uwe

Anser,

> (Pyjama Effect) is not possible when BRUSH is used

You can create a bitmap with such pyjama effect and use it to create the brush, so the brush will have such effect
