BtnBmp in FwH 2.7

[Detlef Hoefner]

Hi All,

yesterday i upgraded to fwH 2.7 for proper use with the latest xHarbour builder.

One of my applications has a main dialog with some BtnBmp on it, which are not placed on a ButtonBar.

When clicking on the dialog title a dotted line is painted around every button. To make this unwanted dots disappear i have to move the mouse cursor over all buttons.

Can anybody confirm this strange behaviour?

Regards,
Detlef

Please take the time to build a reduced and self-contained sample of the problem.

Thanks Enrico,


Here you can find my example of a dialog with BtnBmp buttons:

I used the latest FvH 2.7 together with xHarbourBuilder of March 2006.

Enrico,

i had this problem too with Borland Resource Workshop.
But with xHarbour Builder i use Pelles C as Resource Editor which can handle this bitmap format.

I modified the 4 bitmap files to indexed 256 Windows colors.

Now brc can handle them. I tested this.
But the result is still the same.
When clicking the Dialog title the dotted lines appear.

Thanks for your time,
Detlef

Ok, found! Just remove WS_TABSTOP style:

Code: Select all  Expand view

CONTROL "", 201, "TBtnBmp", 0, 25, 33, 27, 23
CONTROL "", 202, "TBtnBmp", 0, 59, 33, 27, 23
CONTROL "", 203, "TBtnBmp", 0, 108, 33, 27, 23
CONTROL "", 204, "TBtnBmp", 0x00000008, 169, 33, 27, 23

Hi Enrico,

you are right.

And i can can state that you're a real Sherlock Holmes for FiveWin internals.

Thanks a lot.
