Hello Rick,

I don't know the FWH-version You are using
( should be 9.04, using the new Button-style ).
I will explain in this post, how to do it.
Because usual, the normal Buttonbar doesn't support this design,
I have to calculate all object screen-positions.

Best Regards
Uwe

Hello ,

a update to a new Version.

Changes :
Changed from just 1 Dialog to Folder
Dialog-Preview added
New image-resizer and saving gradient as image added. It can be used as xbrowse-gradient-brush.

Download : http://www.pflegeplus.com/fw_downloads/gradient2.zip




I noticed a strange color-move-effect : the 1. color sometimes doens't connect to color 2 on a defined position.
aGrad := {{ 0.50, Color1, Color2 }, { 0.50, Color2, Color1 }} = The 1. Color must end on centered position. Moving the slider, sometimes the color-connection is not clean.

Maybe something wrong in the gradient-calculation ?

Hello,

Changes in new Release 1.2a :
1. Windows-sysmenue added
2. Switch between Gradient and Monochrom-color added
( 1. Gradient-color is used for Monochrom-color-preview )
3. Windows preview added
4. Code-preview for windows and dialog

Any solution for the sometimes wrong gradient-calculation ( display )?

local aGrad := { { 0.50, 8388608, 16777215 }, { 0.50, 16777215, 8388608 } }
GradientFill( hDC, 0, 0, oDlg:nHeight, oDlg:nWidth, aGrad, .T. )

The next release will show a dialog with a included xbrowser, using your saved Gradient-bmp as Brush.
Header and Footer will have the selected Gradient / Color like the Dialog.

Hello,

I finished the new Release 2.0a
It is possible now, to test the settings with a xbrowse-preview.

Because the new FREEIMAGE.dll is included, the Download-size is a bit bigger ( 2.17 MB )

New : Dialog with xbrowse-preview.
You can save a Gradient-bmp and test it as brush inside a browser.


You can load and test adjusted Background-Images as well, together with the gradient-settings.


Best Regards
Uwe
