A Preview and Question for the new ButtonTools

Postby ukoenig » Thu May 07, 2009 8:40 pm

Hello,

I finished the Basics on the new ButtonTools and is it a first Overview of the Results.

What we can do :
1. Select any Backgrounds : Color, Gradient, Style-Brush, Image-Brush and Image in Relation to the Buttons.
2. Select a Button-Image and set 2 other Buttons in combination with Text TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT and RIGHT.
3. One Click-Preview shows Buttons from Source or Resource with and without Border and 2007-Style.
4. A Activate-Button for each Dialog-Preview. A Close-all-Button, to close all open Dialogs ( Previews ).
5. Define the Button-Size for the Preview
6. Write the Source for the Button-selections.
7. A Gradient-Designer and Button-Resizer in the Setup-Section.
8. Button-Sets can be stored to a Database and Reloaded.
9. Display of Alpha-Blended-BMP's on Dialog-Bottom ( free Selection of the Image in the Setup-Section ).
10. Transparent Text with defined Font, Color and Size ( is shown together with the Alpha-Blended BMP )
+ some more functions.

Because it is possible now, to do a Preview with all possible Combinations,
a Test shows, that Buttons are not displayed with Borders, using Resources.
With Style 2007 and from Source, the Borders are shown.
On a Dialog Preview, the upper 3 Buttons are shown without Border.
The second Line ( 3 Buttons ) must have Borders.

Missing Button-Border with Style-Brush and Resources

Problem transparent Buttons on Images ?. Style 2007 works.

The same with Gradient-Background :

DEFINE DIALOG oDlg3 RESOURCE "DIALOG1" of oWnd ;

Not Transparent on Images.
Colors, Gradient, Styles and Image-Brush is OK.
