FW Metro

Hi,

Could be posible to have a style called Metro.

When activated, standard controls are painted like Metro.

For example, this code:

Code: Select all  Expand view
 DEFINE DIALOG oDlg RESOURCE "FOLDER" TITLE OemToAnsi("A¤adir una EMPRESA")

   REDEFINE FOLDER oFld ID 101 OF oDlg ;
           PROMPT "Generales",  ;
                  "Internet", "Observaciones" ;
           DIALOGS "EMPR_GENERAL",  ;
                   "INTERNET", "OBSERVA"

   REDEFINE GET nCodigo       ID 20 OF oDlg
   REDEFINE GET nComercial ID 21 OF oDlg
[...]

 



Will be painted automatically like Otto´s Winhotel design.

The dialog will be fitted full screen, with white background, font, etc.


If not, rewritting all the dialogs take many many time. Those changes will save many time and also Fivetech could create a separated add on, at an extra price.


Thank you so much.

This is an excellent suggestion, if you can do it , it will enhance the look of all applications with no extra coding or minimal coding.

Looking forward ,

First, the style should be Windows 8, and you should look at Microsoft's Cosmopolitan style. It is what was used in Office 2013.

We do not longer call "M.e.t.r.o", will have another name. but the idea is good. this style name is blacklisted by Microsoft.

We could automatize some parts to be automatically painted with a Metro inspired style :-)

i.e.:

SET METRO ON

...

SET METRO OFF
