Systembar metro-style (hotspot-area top/right) exists ?

Postby ukoenig » Wed Dec 12, 2012 6:06 pm

Hello,

I created a Systembar inside a Window.
It is activated / deactivated from the hotspotarea on top/right like in Windows 8.
Does it exist in FWH included in Metro-style ? I couldnt find a sample.

Inside a Window I can use :

oWnd:bMMoved = { | nRow, nCol, nFlags | ;

Best Regards

Mulyadi,

I'm just working on a extended version of sample METRO3.prg
Still need a little bit time.
Opening a dialog, the bar is closed.
The background-painter from the < Quotation-tool > will be included, to change/select different backgrounds.

Extended METRO3.prg

Like in Windows8, You can create/define Sub-bars from the System-bar.
This sample shows a opened Sub-bar, defined from the Exit-button inside the System-bar.
The Sub-bar can have included any controls.
A mousemove outside the Subbar-area closed the bar like the Systembar.

Uwe,

The right sidebar in the Modern UI is not for controls other than the Windows Charms. Those charms are to be used for standard tasks within an application, ie. Search, Share, and Settings.

For application icons, you should use the top and bottom pop up bars. You can place the various controls there. To activate, in touch mode, you swipe up or down ( bottom, top ), or press the right mouse key.

If you go outside this design standard, you will just confuse the users, even with a simulated interface.
