SetAlpha

[Otto]

I have made a program to show bmp´s. To show the bitmaps I need SetAlpha.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

activate window ::oWnd MAXIMIZED ON INIT ( ( SetAlpha( lSetAlpha := !lSetAlpha ), oBmp:Refresh() )  )

But then when I move the mouse over the ribbonbar the bitmaps of the ribbon change.
How can I prevent this?
Thanks in advance
Otto

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

 @ 155,780 BITMAP oBmp FILENAME "c:\fwh\samples\test.bmp" OF ::oWnd ;
         SIZE 880,800 PIXEL SCROLL  //ADJUST

      oBmp:nAlphaLevel := 100
      oBmp:bAlphaLevel := {| oBmp | if( oBmp:nZoom > 2, oBmp:nAlphaLevel := 255, oBmp:nAlphaLevel:= oBmp:hAlphaLevel  )  }

Is it possible to setAlpha only for a single control in my case oBitmap?
Thanks in advance
Otto

Otto,

it is possible. Maybe You like this Solution ( Alpha-level from 50 - 255 ) :

Dear Uwe,
thank you for your help.

Please try fwh/samples/ribbon.prg and insert SetAlpha( lSetAlpha := .f. ).

You get then following result which is not nice looking.

Without SetAlpha( lSetAlpha := .f. )
@ x,y BITMAP oBmp FILENAME " test.bmp" OF oWnd SIZE 880,800 PIXEL SCROLL
does not show 32 bit deep bitmaps correctly but which I need.

Best regards,
Otto

Otto,

my test with a 32 bit Logo.
I could not detect a difference of the Logo-quality ?
Maybe something changed in FWH-release ?

DEFINE WINDOW oWnd TITLE "RibbonBar Test " + FWVERSION from 1,1 to 600,600 pixel //brush oBrush1
@ 150, 10 BITMAP oBmp FILENAME c_path + "\bitmaps\Logo1.bmp" OF oWnd SIZE 550, 350 PIXEL SCROLL



Added Bitmaps to sample ribbon.prg ( Animation and Reflex ) :
( for better Bmp-quality, don't resize ! )

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

ADD GROUP oGr5 RIBBON oRBar TO OPTION 2 PROMPT "BMP-Test" width 590 //BITMAP "..\bitmap\fivetech.BMP"

@  10, 1  TITLE oTitle1 SIZE 595, 78 OF oGr5 TRANSPARENT  NOBORDER  SHADOWSIZE 0
oTitle1:lTransparent := .F.
oTitle1:aGrdBack := { { 0.9,16305560, 16771818 }, { 0.9, 16771818,16305560 } }

@ 10, 70 TITLEIMG  oBmp1  OF oTitle1  BITMAP c_Path + "\Bitmaps\alphabmp\files.bmp" SIZE 24, 24  REFLEX  ANIMA LEVEL 255 ;
ACTION  MsgAlert( "Image 1", "Attention" )

@ 5, 140 TITLEIMG  oBmp2  OF oTitle1  BITMAP c_Path + "\Bitmaps\alphabmp\graphics.bmp" SIZE 24, 24  REFLEX  ANIMA LEVEL 50 ;
ACTION  MsgAlert( "Image 2", "Attention" )

@ 10, 210 TITLEIMG  oBmp3  OF oTitle1  BITMAP c_Path + "\Bitmaps\alphabmp\info.bmp" SIZE 24, 24  REFLEX  ANIMA LEVEL 255 ;
ACTION  MsgAlert( "Image 3", "Attention" )

@ 10, 280 TITLEIMG  oBmp4  OF oTitle1  BITMAP c_Path + "\Bitmaps\alphabmp\printer.bmp" SIZE 24, 24  REFLEX  ANIMA LEVEL 255 ;
ACTION  MsgAlert( "Image 4", "Attention" )

Hello Uwe,
here the results are like the attached screen shots:

Do you have any idea? I upload my bmp so if you would be so kind to test with my bmp-file.
Thanks in advance
Otto

Otto,

can You please test the Download-link ?
it is not working.

Hello Uwe,
I changed the link. Now it should work.
Thank you and best regards,

Hello Otto,

I think, You used a Screencapture => SavetoBMP( .... )?
I noticed the same problem, trying to include it in xBrowse.
I converted the Screencapture to a Jpg, after that, it was OK.
There is thomething wrong with the Format ( I told in another Post ).
I will look for a working Solution to fix the Structure and keeping the BMP-format.

Loading the BMP with another Program and saving, fixed the Problem.
After that it works fine, like You can see.
Try to load the BMP with Pixelformer and You will see the Format-problem.

BMP-capture loaded and saved again ( maybe the original BMP-Structure is corrupted )

Download :

Loaded with xNView ( shows the same Problem ) :

Hello Uwe,
thank you. Yes you are right I make a screen capture.
As it is displaying with SetAlpha(.f.) perfectly I think ribbon-class must be changed to work proberly.
This screen capture program I made – it makes automatically screen captures from M S W OR D – is such a
great tool.
Now I can browse folders with docx files and have in real time previews of the word documents not only thumbnails.
This is so useful.
Best regards,
Otto

Otto,

a Solution convert to Jpg ( much faster and small in Filesize with good Quality )
I use this, because of the same problem with xBrowse.
( You have NCONVERT.exe ? must exist in Your Main-directory of Your program )

Download ( new Release of nConvert ) :
http://www.pflegeplus.com/fw_downloads/nconv.zip

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

local cScreenshot := "Angebotsbrief"

c_path := CURDRIVE() + ":\" + GETCURDIR()

DEFINE WINDOW oWnd TITLE "RibbonBar Test " + FWVERSION from 1,1 to 600,600 pixel //brush oBrush1

MAKE_JPG( cScreenshot )

// change from Bitmap to Image !!!

@ 150, 10 IMAGE oBmp FILENAME c_path  + "\bitmaps\" + cScreenshot + ".jpg"  ;
OF oWnd SIZE 1000, 520 PIXEL SCROLL
...
...

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

FUNCTION MAKE_JPG( cScreenshot )
LOCAL cScript
LOCAL cOldfile := c_path + "\Bitmaps\" + cScreenshot + ".Bmp"
LOCAL cNewfile := c_path + "\Bitmaps\" + cScreenshot + ".jpg"

IF FILE( cOldfile )
    IF FILE( c_path + "\nConvert.exe" )
        cScript := 'NCONVERT -quiet -out jpeg ' + cOldfile  

        WAITRUN ( cScript, 0 )

        IF FILE( cNewfile )
                 MsgAlert( "The Screenshot is saved " + CRLF + ;
                             "in Subdirectory \Bitmaps" + CRLF + ;
                         "as : " + cNewfile, "Attention")
        ELSE
            MsgAlert( "The File : " + CRLF + ;
                       cNewfile + CRLF + ; 
                               "is not created !!!", "ERROR")
        ENDIF
    ELSE
        MsgAlert( "nConvert.exe is missing !" + CRLF + ;
                        "cannot convert to JPG !!", "ERROR" )
    ENDIF
ENDIF

RETURN ( NIL )

Uwe, thank you so much. Now it is working fine.

Otto,

converting BMP to JPG, there are still more Parameters possible like :
Image-crop ( I noticed there is much space around the text ),
adding a Frame to the Dokument ..
maybe You want to add any of these possibilities ?

Crop Image and define a 3D-Frame- Size and Color :

Samples are adding a Frame to the BMP and saving with a new Name ( no Crop )
You can test it from Command-line ( change the BMP-path )

1. a blue Frame
convert -quiet e:\t_ribbontest\Bitmaps\angebotsbrief.Bmp -mattecolor SkyBlue -frame 16x16+8+8 e:\t_ribbontest\Bitmaps\_angebotsbrief.Bmp

2. a red Frame
convert -quiet e:\t_ribbontest\Bitmaps\angebotsbrief.Bmp -mattecolor Tomato -frame 16x16+8+8 e:\t_ribbontest\Bitmaps\_angebotsbrief.Bmp



Different Frame-samples ( from Commandline ) :
1
CONVERT -quiet e:\t_message\bitmaps\olga.bmp -mattecolor SkyBlue -frame 6x6+3+3 e:\t_message\bitmaps\_olga.bmp
2
CONVERT -quiet e:\t_message\bitmaps\olga.bmp -mattecolor Tomato -frame 10x10+5+5 e:\t_message\bitmaps\_olga.bmp
3
CONVERT -quiet e:\t_message\bitmaps\olga.bmp -mattecolor SkyBlue -frame 10x10+10+0 -frame 15x15+10+0 e:\t_message\bitmaps\_olga.bmp



A crop-sample : save a Part to a new Image.

convert e:\t_message\bitmaps\olga.jpg -crop "0x0+150+200" e:\t_message\bitmaps\_olga.jpg

Otto,

I'm working on a Tool to change Image-properties at Runtime.
( Scriptgenerator for NConvert )
I can add a Download-link, in case it is something You need.
The 1. Ribbonbar-tab shows the Selection the 2. and 3. will include the different Value-settings.
( I will still add some more like Brigthness, Rotate and so on ... )

1. Convert a BMP-screenshot to any Image-format
2. Sharpen
3. Contrast
4. Blur
5. Crop a Image and save as new
6. Resize to given % or keep Ratio with defined Width or Hight
7. Add Watermark ( any Image on defined Position and transparent-level.
8. TIFF image-extract



Converts any selected Image to a new Format and generates a Script, can be used inside Your Application.



Best Regards
Uwe
