I have a checkbox that is transparent win 7 not win xp. Using resources, Transparent set at the define dialog.
All workinhg fine except not in windows XP. Any ideas.

Thanks in advance

Harvey,

maybe a transparent-problem with Resources ?

I changed all my Checkboxes using TSelex ( looks much better ).

or use a extra SAY and resize the Checkbox as small as possible :

REDEFINE CHECKBOX oCheck2 VAR lCheck2 ID 230 OF oDlg1 UPDATE
add a extra SAY :
REDEFINE SAY oSay1 VAR cSay1 ID 231 OF oDlg1 FONT oFootFont COLOR 128

TSelex-Resource :

CONTROL "", 220, "TSELEX", 0 | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 211, 83, 58, 28

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

REDEFINE SELEX oSelect VAR nOption1 OF oDlg1 ID 220;
ITEMS "&ON", "&OFF";
GRADIENT OUTTRACK { { 0.5, 16443068, 16312263 }, ;
     { 0.5, 16312263, 16443068 } } ;
GRADIENT INTRACK { { 1, 5426223, 1071100 }, ;
     { 1, 1071100, 5426223 } } ;
THUMBSIZE 20, 20 ROUNDSIZE 5 ;
COLOR THUMB 14853684 ;
COLORTEXT 128, 32768 ;
TITLE "Select" TOP ;
FONT oFootFont ;
ACTION( If( nOption1 == 2, oDlg1:End(), ) )

Uwe:
Using the say worked fine. Thanks.
Just one more color problem. The transparent clause doesn't work with an undefined group.
Any suggestions?

Harvey,

using Resources, the same transparent-problem like Checkboxes.
( doesn't work on Dlg-ON INIT or PAINT )

Maybe You can include Class SBUTTON from Manuel Mercado ?
using Resources works fine for Lines, Groups and Boxes like You can see.
I will have a look at my Tool ( Screenshot ), doing some more work on it.

Harvey,

it seems to be a Brush-painting-problem of Resources.
Moving a Color-define from Dlg-INIT like :

DEFINE DIALOG oDlg1 RESOURCE "Selection" TRANSPARENT
...
// COLOR
// -----------
DEFINE BRUSH oBrush COLOR 16443068

// BMP-BRUSH
// -----------
// DEFINE BRUSH oBrush FILE c_path + "\Images\BluStone.Bmp"

/*
// GRADIENT
// ---------------
aGrad := { { 0.5, 10899511, 16443068 }, { 0.5, 16443068, 10899511 } }
hDC = CreateCompatibleDC( oDlg1:GetDC() )
hBmp = CreateCompatibleBitMap( oDlg1:hDC, 200, 600 )
hBmpOld = SelectObject( hDC, hBmp )
GradientFill( hDC, 0, 0, 600, 200, aGrad, .T. )
DeleteObject( oDlg1:oBrush:hBrush )
oBrush := TBrush():New( ,,,, hBmp )
oBrush:Cargo := aGrad
SelectObject( hDC, hBmpOld )
ReleaseDC(hDC)
*/

oDlg1:SetBrush( oBrush )
...
ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg1 CENTERED ;
ON INIT ( oDlg1:Move( 30, 10, oDlg1:nWidth, oDlg1:nHeight, .f. ), oBrw1:SetFocus() )
...



works, but only for COLORS !!!
using BMP-brush or Gradient, the Group covers the Checkboxes

There seems to be a problem with ascending Field-order from Resource.
Changing the Order : lowest = Group / higher = Checkboxes, it works .
A higher Group ID covers the included Controls.

Thanks for all the input. I'll be working on it in next couple of days. I'll keep you posted.

Uwe,

Thanks for your superb help as usual

[ukoenig]

Thank You very much for the Response,

my new extended Res.-Tester will cover and test
all Controls ( transparent Painting )
There will be a complete new Download-file
A Resource-tester is still missing in my Tool-Collection !!!

Testing :
1. Groups, Radios and Checkboxes on different Dialog-backgrounds
2. Groups, Radios and Checkboxes on different TFoldex-backgrounds

The Dialog-background and Textcolor can be defined from the xBrowse-selection.

Uwe:
You have been great helping me out.
Not using gradient....can't get it to work.

But one more qusetion. How can you color: msfInfo(), MsgAlert(), msgget(), msgYesNo() etc.

Thanks for the help.

[ukoenig]

Harvey,
Gradient works fine. You can have a closer look, as soon I finished the new Tool for Download.

MsgAlert , MsgYesNo ... is Window-standard.
You can create Your own fancy Messages, or have a look at the post from Ramesh :
