A problem with < BringWindowToTop >

[ukoenig]

Hello,

To define a area, I want to keep the SAY visible on top in DESIGN-mode
but < BringWindowToTop > doesn't help.
Moving the SAY, it is shown behind all other objects.



I can crop anything from the dialog with resize and image-format-export



a right mouseclick inside the dialog creates a transparent SAY in DESIGN-mode

A short test without image ( NO extras needed )
Right mouseclick. Next move the say to the browser-area.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "fivewin.ch"
#include "xbrowse.ch"

STATIC oDlg, nClicked := 0, oCSay
STATIC oFont1, oFont2

FUNCTION MAIN()
LOCAL oBrw, aArray := {}, oGet, cGet := "    ", oSay1

DEFINE FONT oFont1  NAME "Tahoma" SIZE 0, -16 BOLD
DEFINE FONT oFont2  NAME "Tahoma" SIZE 0, -12 BOLD

IF EMPTY( aArray )
    aArray := {{"one","two","three","four"},;
        {"one","two","three","four"},;
        {"one","two","three","four"},;
        {"one","two","three","four"}}

any idea ?

Uwe,

Your code is quite similar to FWH\samples\design.prg and design.prg does it right...

I have been testing your example and can't understand why BringWindowToTop() is not working there

[ukoenig]

Antonio,

I only added some controls ( browser, say and get )to the original sample FWH\samples\design.prg
The only control that stays on top in DESIGN-mode is the listbox ( but only getting the focus ).
Loosing the focus, it is covered as well.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

// Dialogs designer

#include "FiveWin.ch"
#include "xBrowse.ch"

static oDlg, lDesign := .T.

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

function Main()
local oBrw, aArray := {}, oGet, cGET := "Test"

IF EMPTY( aArray )
    aArray := {{"one","two","three"},;
        {"one","two","three"},;
        {"one","two","three"},;
        {"one","two","three"}}
ENDIF

   DEFINE DIALOG oDlg TITLE "Dialog designer" SIZE 500, 300 ;
      STYLE nOr( WS_THICKFRAME, WS_SYSMENU )

   oDlg:cVarName = "oDlg"

@ 20, 180 SAY "Text..:" SIZE 50, 12 OF oDlg COLOR 0, 255  PIXEL
@ 50, 180 GET oGet VAR cGET OF oDlg SIZE 50, 12 COLOR "W/G" PICTURE "@K" PIXEL

@ 20, 20 XBROWSE oBrw SIZE 130, 70 OF oDlg ;
COLUMNS {1,2,3,4} ;
HEADERS {"Btn Trans - 1","Btn Trans - 2","Header - 3"} ;
ARRAY aArray LINES CELL PIXEL  
oBrw:nRowHeight := 25

oBrw:bClrStd := {|| {CLR_BLACK, CLR_CYAN } }

oBrw:CREATEFROMCODE()

   ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED ;
      ON INIT  ( /* oDlg:nOpacity := 150,*/  PlaceControl( oDlg ) ) ;
      ON PAINT If( lDesign, DrawGrid( oDlg:hWnd, hDC, cPS, 8, 8 ),) ;
      ON RIGHT CLICK EditDialog( nRow, nCol, oDlg )

return nil
