Bitmap-Format of Record-selector in xBrowse ?

[ukoenig]

Hello,

There are still some little problems in the new
xbrowse-tools, i couldn't fix.

It is possible now, to have a real big preview with a database
of all used settings.
Because i can change the color of the RECORD-SELECTOR,
i have to add a new BITMAP for the pointer as well.
I couldn't find out, what format and colors for the bitmap i have to use.
I tested everything, Bitmaps are not shown transparent.
It is the same NON-transparent effect like Cellbitmaps on Brushes.
In this sample, the best result would be a white Arrow.
The xBrowse-class uses :

::hBmpRecSel := FwRArrow()

I think, FwRArrow() does the handling of the background.
I couldn't find the function ( is not included in the source ).

Code: Select all  Expand view


// BRSELECT2 = Bitmap
// SELCOLOR2 = Color of Rec-Selector

IF !EMPTY( BRSELECT2 )
   oBmp := ReadBitmap( 0, BRSELECT2 )
   oBrw:hBmpRecSel( oBmp )
ENDIF
DEFINE BRUSH oBrush COLOR SELCOLOR2
oBrw:hBrushRecSel( oBrush )
RELEASE BRUSH oBrush



A Bitmap size : 9 x 15



How can i get a transparent symbol ?
It is not the same, like the bitmaps in cells.

Regards
Uwe

Uwe,

This is the code for the arrow:

Code: Select all  Expand view

static far BYTE rarrow[] = {

We get that array of bytes using Borland Resources Workshop (reviewing a bitmap as an array of bytes)

You can create your own FWRARROW() that just loads a bitmap from your resources or from a bitmap file.
