8 x DIALOG

[Jimmy]

hi,

i have a working Xbase++ Version and a HMG Version and now i want to make a FiveWin Version.

FiveWin have this Syntax

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

DEFINE WINDOW oWnd
 ...
ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd

now i like to have 8 x DIALOG ... but i like to create them in a Loop

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

FUNCTION CreateForms()
Local i,iMax := 8
Local cForm

   FOR i = 1 TO iMax
      cForm  := "Form_"+strzero(i, 2)
      DEFINE DIALOG &cForm FROM nTop, nLeft TO nBottom, nRight
      // add Object to Array
      AADD(a_Forms, &cForm)
   NEXT
RETURN NIL

Problem : i do NOT want to ACTIVATE WINDOW, just show it

i did this

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

  FOR i := 1 TO iMax
      cForm := a_Forms[i]
      ACTIVATE DIALOG &cForm
   NEXT

but only 1 DIALOG appear until i close it and next appear
so how to get a Concept like this working under FiveWin

please help a FiveWin Newbie, thx

it's not my business, but why do you want to create 8 dialogs, what's the use?

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Try

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

ACTIVATE DIALOG &cForm NOMODAL

EMG

[Jimmy]

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

ACTIVATE DIALOG &cForm NOMODAL

YES, that seems to work, THX

hi,

it's not my business, but why do you want to create 8 dialogs, what's the use?

i just try out how FiveWin Syntax work.

i'm used to OOP Code where it is no Problem to get 8 Instanze
now with #xCommand Syntax i have to use Macro ... it is like Cl*pper

Question : What about TDialog()

is it the same like DEFINE DIALOG

[Jimmy]

next Question

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

   FOR i = 1 TO iMax
      cForm  := "Form_"+strzero(i, 2)
      DEFINE DIALOG &cForm ;
      FROM nTop, nLeft TO nRight, nBottom

      ACTIVATE DIALOG &cForm NOMODAL

if i add FROM i got "Main" DIALOG only so what i'm doing wrong

p.s. nTop, nLeft, nRight, nBottom have valid Value

[Jimmy]

next try

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

  oForm  := TDialog():New()

without any Parameter i got 8 x Dialog

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

  oForm  := TDialog():New( nTop, nLeft, nBottom, nRight)

if i try nTop, nLeft, nBottom, nRight nothing appear

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

  oForm  := TDialog():New( nTop, nLeft, nBottom, nRight,;
                               ,,,,,,,, lPixels,,)

if i try it with lPixels it crash

[Jimmy]

now with OOP

as CLASS TDialog inherit FROM TWindow i use

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

   oForm  := TDialog():New()
   oForm:Activate( ,,,,, lModal,,)

   // Superclass Method
   oForm:SetSize(nRight,nBottom,.T.)
   oForm:SetPos( nTop, nLeft )
 

now i got my 8 x Dialog

but i have more Question :
how to disable Titlebar with min/max/close button

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Try with the clause

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

STYLE WS_POPUP

EMG

[Jimmy]

hi,

Try with the clause

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

STYLE WS_POPUP

EMG

thx for Answer.

i have Problem when have any parameter at "create" than no Dialog appear
perhaps while i have a Main Dialog with SIZE 0,0 before create those 8 x DIALOG

that's why i change to OOP Style.
in c:\fwh\source\classes\DIALOG.PRG i found DATA nStyle so i change it with you advice

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

  FOR i = 1 TO iMax
      oForm  := TDialog():New()
// before activate      
      oForm:nStyle := WS_POPUP
      oForm:Activate( ,,,,, lModal,,)
// after activate      
      oForm:SetPos( nTop, nLeft )
      oForm:SetSize(nRight,nBottom,.T.)

      AADD(a_Forms, oForm)
      nLeft  += nRight + 2
   NEXT 

now i got my 8 x Dialog an can begin to "paint" (ON PAINT)

[Jimmy]

hi.

now i have TrayIcon for Main and a new Question : how can i "disable close" by Keyboard ESC

those 8 x Dialog don't need to "react" on something only "ON PAINT".
i want to "close" all Dialog from TrayIcon-Menu.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

ON INIT oDlg:bValid := { || !GetKeyState( VK_ESCAPE ) }

EMG

[Jimmy]

hi,

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

ON INIT oDlg:bValid := { || !GetKeyState( VK_ESCAPE ) }

THX, that was the missing Part.

now i got Sample working right ... but i have used my "old" Code with DllCall()
i can't simple replace it with FiveWin CreateRectRgn() / CombineRgn() while "something" is different so Result is different.
